question 38

Multiple Choice

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula.
- $$x ^ { 2 } - 14 x + 40 = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 16 x + 32$$

• A) \(x = 4\) or \(x = - 2\)
• B) \(x = \frac { - \sqrt { 32 } } { 2 }\) or \(x = \frac { \sqrt { 32 } } { 2 }\)
• C) \(x = \frac { 1 } { 4 }\) or \(x = - 2\)
• D) \(x = \frac { - \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 }\) or \(x = \frac { \sqrt { 17 } } { 2 }\)
