Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step.

Given Equation:

sup((2x5)2)+75=275\text{sup}\left((2x - 5)^2\right) + 75 = -275

Step 1: Isolate the squared term

Subtract 75 from both sides: (2x5)2=27575(2x - 5)^2 = -275 - 75 (2x5)2=350(2x - 5)^2 = -350

Step 2: Take the square root of both sides

Since the right side is negative, the solutions will be complex numbers: 2x5=±3502x - 5 = \pm \sqrt{-350} 2x5=±350i2x - 5 = \pm \sqrt{350} \cdot i

Step 3: Simplify the square root

The square root of 350 can be simplified: 350=25×14=514\sqrt{350} = \sqrt{25 \times 14} = 5\sqrt{14} So, the equation becomes: 2x5=±514i2x - 5 = \pm 5\sqrt{14} \cdot i

Step 4: Solve for xx

Add 5 to both sides: 2x=5±514i2x = 5 \pm 5\sqrt{14} \cdot i Finally, divide by 2: x=5±514i2x = \frac{5 \pm 5\sqrt{14} \cdot i}{2}

Step 5: Write the solutions

The two solutions are: x1=5+514i2x_1 = \frac{5 + 5\sqrt{14} \cdot i}{2} x2=5514i2x_2 = \frac{5 - 5\sqrt{14} \cdot i}{2}

So, the solutions are:

x1=52+5142ix_1 = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{5\sqrt{14}}{2}i x2=525142ix_2 = \frac{5}{2} - \frac{5\sqrt{14}}{2}i
