Question

(2x² - 40x² – 28) /(x² – 5x – 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = i sqrt(14/19) or x = -i sqrt(14/19)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-38 x^2 - 28)/(x^2 - 5 x - 2) = 0

Multiply both sides by x^2 - 5 x - 2:

-38 x^2 - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides:

-38 x^2 = 28

Divide both sides by -38:

x^2 = -14/19

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer: x = i sqrt(14/19) or x = -i sqrt(14/19)
