Answer: x = 6.32 or -0.32
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² - 6x + 10 = 0
No we divide the expression by 2 to make the coefficient of x² equals 1
We now have
x² - 3x + 5 = 0
Now we remove 5 to the other side of the equation
x² - 3x = -5
we add to both side square of half the coefficient of x which is 3
x² - 3x + ( ⁻³/₂)² = -5 + (⁻³/₂)²
(x - ³/₂)² = -5 + ⁹/₄
Resolve into fraction
(x - ³/₂)² = ⁻¹¹/4
Take the roots of the equation
x - ³/₂ = √¹¹/₄
x - ³/₂ = √11/₂
x = ³/₂ ± 3.32/₂
= 3+ 3.32 or 3 - 3.32
= 6.32 or - 0.32
