question 217

Multiple Choice

Use the quadratic formula or graphing methods to
- $$2 x ^ { 2 } + 10 x + 4 \leq 0$$

• A) \(x \geq \frac { - 5 + \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 } \approx - 0.438\)
• B) \(x \leq \frac { - 5 - \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 } \approx - 4.562\)
• C) \(x \leq \frac { - 5 - \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 } \approx - 4.562\) or \(x \geq \frac { - 5 + \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 } \approx - 0.438\)
• D) \(\frac { - 5 - \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 } \approx - 4.562 \leq x \leq \frac { - 5 + \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 } \approx - 0.438\)
