x = , x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² - 11x + 5 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × 5 = 10 and sum = - 11

The factors are - 1 and - 10

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - x - 10x + 5 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

x(2x - 1) - 5(2x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term

(2x - 1)(x - 5) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x =

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

answer: 26

well, michelle wanted to measure the height of her school's flagpole she placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole then walk backwards until she was able to see the top of the pole in the mirror her eyes were 5 feet above the ground and she was 12 ft from the mirror using similar triangles find the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth of a foot find the geometric mean of them pair of numbers. its easy math
