Question

Please answer with the correct answer.​

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

2x² - 5x + 1 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 2, b = - 5, c = 1

Using the quadratic formula to solve for x

x =( - (- 5) ±
`√((-5)^2-(4(2)(1)))` / 4

= ( 5 ±
`√(25-8)`) / 4

x =
`(5)/(4)` -
`(√(17) )/(4)` or

x =
`(5)/(4)` +
`(√(17) )/(4)`
