I’m not sure I fully understand your question but substituting the numbers into the equation you’ve given I’ve got this:
1+4^2- -2^2+ -1^2 - (5X-2)
1 + 16 - 4 + 1 - -10 =24
And then back to the question:
If the square root of 2 X abc
Abc = 4 X -2 X -1 =8
2 X 8= 16
Square root of 16= 4
OR!
2 X 24 (which we got using the equation earlier ) = 48
Square root of 48 = 6.92820323028
So K is either 6.92820323028 or 4 ??
