Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( a=2, h=\frac{3}{2}, b=-2, g=-\frac{5}{2}, f, c=-3 \) Condition: \( abc + 2fgh - af^2 - bg^2 - ch^2 = 0 \) \( (2)(-2)(-3) + 2(f)(-\frac{5}{2})(\frac{3}{2}) - (2)(f)^2 - (-2)(-\frac{5}{2})^2 - (-3)(\frac{3}{2})^2 = 0 \)…
