Answer:

C

Explanation:

given

- 3(x - 2)² + 17 = 0 ( subtract 17 from both sides )

- 3(x - 2)² = - 17 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

(x - 2)² =
(-17)/(-3) =
(17)/(3) ( take square root of both sides )


√((x-2)^2) = ±
\sqrt{(17)/(3) } , that is

x - 2 = ±
\sqrt{(17)/(3) } ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 2 ±
\sqrt{(17)/(3) }

Then

x = 2 +
\sqrt{(17)/(3) } ≈ 4.38 ( to the nearest hundredth )

x = 2 -
\sqrt{(17)/(3) } ≈ - 0.38 ( to the nearest hundredth )
