Solve 4x\{^2}\) - 16x + 15 = 0.

  • A. x = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
  • B. x = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
  • C. x = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
  • D. x = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\) or x -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Correct Answer: B. x = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Explanation

4x\(^2\) - 16x + 15 = 0

(2x - 3)(2x - 5) = 0

x = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
