Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given figure, we have an obtuse triangle which has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length b is obtuse.
∵ In a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle is largest.
Thus, the largest side in then given obtuse triangle= c
The Pythagorean inequalities theorem says that If a triangle is obtuse than the square of the largest side is greater than the sum of square of other two sides.
Therefore, we have
Because the coefficient of x^2 is -1, we know that a will be -1. Knowing that the coefficient of x is -4, we can calculate that p=2. Thus, we have -1(x+2)^2+q is our equation. This is equal to -x^2-4x-4+q. As the constant term must be 2, we can then see that q is 6.
As such, we have -1(x+2)^2+6=0 as our factorization.
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. Plugging in values, we have:
which is equal to: (when the fraction is simplified)
