The solution to given quadratic equation is x = -0.3851 or x = 10.3851

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given equation is:

$-4x^2 + 40x + 16 = 0$

To find: solve by quadratic equation formula

$\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0\\\\x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Using the above formula,

$\text{ For} -4x^2 + 40x + 16 = 0 \text{ we have } a = -4 ; b = 40 ; c = 16$

<u><em>Substituting the values of a = -4 ; b = 40 ; c = 16 in above quadratic formula we get,</em></u>

$\begin{aligned}&x=\frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{40^{2}-4(-4)(16)}}{2 \times-4}\\\\&x=\frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{1600+256}}{-8}\\\\&x=\frac{-40 \pm 43.081}{-8}\\\\&x=\frac{-40+43.081}{-8} \text { or } x=\frac{-40-43.081}{-8}\\\\&x=-0.3851 \text { or } x=10.3851\end{aligned}$

Thus the solution to given quadratic equation is x = - 0.3851 or x = 10.3851

<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. Distance formula

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

$The \ \mathbf{distance} \ d \ between \ the \ \mathbf{points} \ (x_{1},y_{1}) \ and \ (x_{2},y_{2}) \ in \ the \ plane \ is:\\ \\ d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

As in the statement:

<em>The distance form</em> $(0,0)$ to $(0,2)$ is $\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(2-0)^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2$ <em>whose justification is the </em><em>Distance Formula. </em>

<em />

Here in this statement the justification is also the Distance Fromula, so we take the distance from $(0,0) \ to \ (1,\sqrt{2})$ whose result is also 2 and is the radius of the circle.
