Question

select the correct answer.

solve the following equation by completing the square.

\\4x^2 - 16x + 8 = 0\\

\\(x = 4\\) or \\(x = 0\\)

\\(x = 2 + \sqrt{2}\\) or \\(x = -2 + \sqrt{2}\\)

\\(x = -2 + \sqrt{2}\\) or \\(x = -2 - \sqrt{2}\\)

\\(x = 2 + \sqrt{2}\\) or \\(x = 2 - \sqrt{2}\\)

Explanation:

Divide the equation by the leading coefficient

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Complete the square

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Solve for x

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(x = 4\) or \(x = 0\)
  • (B) \(x = 2 + \sqrt{2}\) or \(x = -2 + \sqrt{2}\)
  • (C) \(x = -2 + \sqrt{2}\) or \(x = -2 - \sqrt{2}\)
  • (D) \(x = 2 + \sqrt{2}\) or \(x = 2 - \sqrt{2}\) (Correct answer)
