Question 346366: Solve by completing the square or the quadratic formula
2m^2-10m+16=0
Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2m^2-10m+16=0
m^2-5m+8=0 divide each side by 2
m^2-5m =-8
m^2-5m+(25/4)=(25/4)-8
(m - 5/2))^2=-7/4
m - 5/2 = +-sqrt(7)/2 *i
m=5/2 +- sqrt(7)/2 *i
m=(5+sqrt(7))*i/2, (5-sqrt(7))*i/2
.
