Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Option 1, 2, 5 are the correct answer.Explanation:  We have the quadratic equation, [tex]x^2-6x+2=0[/tex]  First derivative of the equation is given by 2x - 6 = 0                So x = 3 At x = 3 the value of quadratic equation is extreme, corresponding y is given by [tex]3^2-6*3+2=11-18=-7[/tex], So extreme value is at (3,-7) Second derivative of the quadratic equation is given by 2 ( positive value)  Second derivative is positive so graph of equation has a minimum value. Now root of the equation [tex]x^2-6x+2=0[/tex] is given by             [tex]\frac{6+\sqrt{(-6)^2-4*1*2}} {2} =3+\sqrt{7}[/tex]                                              or             [tex]\frac{6-\sqrt{(-6)^2-4*1*2}} {2} =3-\sqrt{7}[/tex]Option 1, 2, 5 are the correct answer.
