Question

Given the equation below, which of the following shows the quadratic formula
correctly applied?
2x² -9x+4 =0

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x=\frac{-(-9)\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(2)(4)} }{2 \times 2} \\x=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{81-32} }{4} \\x=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{49} }{4} \\x=\frac{9 \pm 7}{4} \\either~x=\frac{9+7}{4} =\frac{16}{4} =4\\or\\x=\frac{9-7}{4} =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$
