Answer:

no; none are equal to ±√2

Explanation:

The solution is ...

x = ±√2 . . . . . . take the square root of both sides of the equation

__

The value of √2 is irrational, so cannot be represented by any integer or fraction. All of the offered "solutions" are rational, so cannot match the required solution.
