question 64

Multiple Choice

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula.
- $$x ( x + 5 ) = 2$$

• A) \(x = \frac { - \sqrt { 33 } } { 2 }\) or \(x = \frac { \sqrt { 33 } } { 2 }\)
• B) \(x = \frac { - 5 - \sqrt { 33 } } { 2 }\) or \(x = \frac { - 5 + \sqrt { 33 } } { 2 }\)
• C) \(x = - 5\) or \(x = 0\)
• D) \(x = - 5\) or \(x = 5\)
