Question

3. [09.04]
What are the exact solutions of x2 = 5x + 2? (1 point)

Answer 1

x =
`(5±√(33) )/(2)\\`

Explanation:

I would subtract 5x and 2 on both sides to get x^2 - 5x - 2 = 0, and using the A = 0, B = -5, and C = -2 to plug it into the quadratic equation which is

`\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^(2) -4ac} }{2a}`

*Ignore the A please I cannot get rid of it.*
