Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{5(+/-)\sqrt{25-8a}} {2a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

[tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex]

is equal to

[tex]x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}[/tex]

in this problem we have

[tex]ax^{2} -5x+2=0[/tex]

so

[tex]a=a\\b=-5\\c=2[/tex]

substitute in the formula

[tex]x=\frac{5(+/-)\sqrt{-5^{2}-4(a)(2)}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{5(+/-)\sqrt{25-8a}} {2a}[/tex]
