The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{5}{x} + 2 = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by \( x^2 \) We start by multiplying every term in the equation by \( x^2 \) to eliminate the denominators: \[ x^2 \left( \frac{2}{x^2} \right) - x^2 \left( \frac{5}{x} \right) + 2x^2 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 - 5x + 2x^2 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Next, we rearrange the equation into standard quadratic form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \): \[ 2x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the quadratic equation Now we will factor the quadratic equation. 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 are \( -4 \) and \( -1 \). We can rewrite the equation as: \[ 2x^2 - 4x - x + 2 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Group the terms Next, we group the terms: \[ (2x^2 - 4x) + (-x + 2) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Factor by grouping Now we factor out the common terms from each group: \[ 2x(x - 2) - 1(x - 2) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Factor out the common binomial We can factor out \( (x - 2) \): \[ (2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Set each factor to zero Now we set each factor equal to zero: 1. \( 2x - 1 = 0 \) 2. \( x - 2 = 0 \) ### Step 8: Solve for \( x \) Solving these equations gives us: 1. From \( 2x - 1 = 0 \): \[ 2x = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. From \( x - 2 = 0 \): \[ x = 2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solutions to the equation are: \[ x = \frac{1}{2}, \quad x = 2 \] ---
