Solve for x: −2(x − 2)2 + 5 = 0

round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

a)x = 3.58, 0.42
b)x = 4.52, −0.52
c)x = −3.58, −0.42
d)x = −4.52, 0.52

Option A

The values of x are 3.58 or 0.42

Solution:

Given, equation is

We have to solve for the x and choose from the options given,

Now, take the equation,

Negative sign cancels on both sides

Taking square root on both sides, we get

Hence, the values of x are 3.58 or 0.42, so option A is correct.

the answer is a
