Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a=2, b=-2, c=-3, h=\frac{3}{2}, g=-\frac{5}{2}, f=f\) \(abc+2fgh-af^2-bg^2-ch^2=0\) \((2)(-2)(-3)+2(f)(-\frac{5}{2})(\frac{3}{2})-(2)(f)^2-(-2)(-\frac{5}{2})^2-(-3)(\frac{3}{2})^2=0\) \(12-\frac{15}{2}f-2f^2+\frac{25}{2}+\frac{27}{4}=0\) \(-8f^2-30f+125=0\)…
