The general form of a quadratic (second degree) equation is 

a x^{2} +bx+c=0, where

D= b^{2}-4ac is called the Discriminant.


The Discriminant determines how many roots the equation will have as follows:

i)  if D>0, the equation has 2 roots.
ii) if D=0, the equation has 1 double root.
iii) if D<0, the equation has no roots.


In our equation, x^{2} -5x+7=0, a=1, b=-5, c=7

so the discriminant is D=(-5)^2-4*1*7=25-28<0


Thus the equation has no roots.


Remark: the equation has no roots in the Real numbers, but it has 2 roots in a larger set of numbers to be discussed in the future, the Complex numbers.
