The correct Answer is:
To solve the quadratic equation \( \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{5}{x} + 2 = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions To eliminate the fractions, we will multiply the entire equation by \( x^2 \) (the common denominator): \[ x^2 \left( \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{5}{x} + 2 \right) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 - 5x + 2x^2 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Now, we will rearrange the equation in standard quadratic form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \): \[ 2x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the quadratic equation Next, we will factor the quadratic equation \( 2x^2 - 5x + 2 \). We need to find two numbers that multiply to \( 2 \times 2 = 4 \) (the product of \( a \) and \( c \)) and add to \( -5 \) (the coefficient of \( b \)). The numbers that satisfy this condition are \( -4 \) and \( -1 \). Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ 2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Group the terms Now, we will group the terms: \[ (2x^2 - 4x) + (-x + 2) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Factor by grouping Now, we can factor out common terms from each group: \[ 2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0 \] Now, factor out the common binomial factor \( (x - 2) \): \[ (2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Set each factor to zero Now, we will set each factor equal to zero to find the roots: 1. \( 2x - 1 = 0 \) - Solving for \( x \): \[ 2x = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. \( x - 2 = 0 \) - Solving for \( x \): \[ x = 2 \] ### Final Solution The roots of the equation are: \[ x = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{1}{2} \] ---

To solve the quadratic equation \( \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{5}{x} + 2 = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions To eliminate the fractions, we will multiply the entire equation by \( x^2 \) (the common denominator): \[ x^2 \left( \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{5}{x} + 2 \right) = 0 \] ...
