Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation,
ax² + bx + c = 0
roots of this equation can be determined by using quadratic formula,
x = [tex]\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
Comparing this quadratic equation with the given equation,
y = 2x² - 5x + 18 = 0
a = 2
b = (-5)
c = 18
By substituting these values in the given formula,
x = [tex]\frac{5\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(18)} }{2(2)}[/tex]
Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.
