below.
x^2 - 5x + 25/4 = 0


HELP A BROTHA OUT

Answer 1

X= 5/2 is the answer

Answer 2

C.
`x=(5)/(2)`

Explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

`x_(1,2)=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac}}{2a}`

Where
`a` is the coefficient of the quadratic team.
`b` is the coefficient of the linear term, and
`c` is the independent term.

So, the given equation is:

`x^2 - 5x + (25)/(4)  = 0`

Where:

`a=1\\b=-5\\c=(25)/(4)`

`x_(1,2)=\frac{-(-5)\±\sqrt{(-5)^(2)-4(1)((25)/(4) )}}{2(1)}\\x_(1,2)=(5\±√(25-25))/(2)\\x_(1,2)=(5\±√(0))/(2)\\x_(1,2)=(5)/(2)`

This means that the equation has a unique solution.

Therefore, the right answer is C.
