Answer:

Solution 1: 1+1
√(3)

Solution 2: 1-
1√(3)

Explanation:

x^2-2=2x

x^2-2x-2=0

Use quadratic equation.

(-b+-
√(b^2-4ac))/2a

(2+-
√((-2)^2-4*1*-2))/2

(2+-
√((4+8)))/2

(2+-
√(12))/2

Solution 1: (2+2
√(3))/2=1+1
√(3)

Solution 2: 1-
1√(3)

Let's first move everything, the constants and variables to one side


x^2-2=2x
x^2-2x-2=0

The second form is in the general form of the quadratic equation:


ax^2+bx+c = 0

  • a ⇒ 1
  • b ⇒ -2
  • c ⇒ -2

To find the value of x, we can use the quadratic formula:

look at the diagram attached


x = (-b-√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a) =(2-√((-2)^2-4(1)(-2)) )/(2*1) =(2-√(4+8) )/(2) =(2-√(12) )/(2) =(2-2√(3))/(2) =1-√(3)


x = (-b+√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a) =(2+√((-2)^2-4(1)(-2)) )/(2*1) =(2+√(4+8) )/(2) =(2+√(12) )/(2) =(2+2√(3))/(2) =1+√(3)

Answer

To answer the question, just answer in the order I solved it, because the question asks you to put the answer in ascending order which means from least to greatest.

Hope that helps!
