which of the following choices simplified the expression:

The answer is:
The correct option is the second option:
[tex]\frac{5}{2},\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
We are given the following expression:
[tex]\frac{2+-\sqrt{9}}{2}[/tex]
Now, solving we have:
First solution:
[tex]\frac{2+\sqrt{9}}{2}=\frac{2+3}{3}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Second solution:
[tex]\frac{2-\sqrt{9}}{2}=\frac{2-3}{3}=\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, we have that the correct option is the second option:
[tex]\frac{5}{2},\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Have a nice day!
Answer:
The correct answer is second option
5/2, -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached figure we can see that,
(2 ± √9 )/2
To find the simplified form of (2 ± √9 )/2
(2 ± √9 )/2 = (2 + √9 )/2 or (2 - √9 )/2
(2 + √9 )/2 = (2 + 3)/2 = 5/2
(2 - √9 )/2 = (2 - 3)/2 = -1/2
Therefore simplified form of (2 ± √9 )/2 are
5/2 and -1/2
The correct answer is option 2
