Given the equation:


2x^2-4x-10=0;x\in(3,4)

We will use a graphing calculator to solve the equation

The graph of the equation will be as shown in the following figure:

As shown the intersection between the given equation and the x-axis is a point between 3 and 4 which = 3.4495

Rounding to the nearest tenth

So, the answer will be the solution to the equation:


x=3.4
