P ( x ) has the given roots: ( i, 7 + 8 i ).
The complex roots of a polynomial P ( x ) with rational coefficients come in pair as:
a + b i and a - b i;
Additional roots are: - i, 7 - 8 i.

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 5 written in simplest radical form?

Pavel [41]

$\boxed{x_{1}=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{5}}{2}} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=\frac{-5 - \sqrt{5}}{2}}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Here: \\ \\ f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 5 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ a=1 \\ \\ b=5 \\ \\ c=5 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25-20}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ \boxed{x_{1}=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{5}}{2}} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{x_{2}=\frac{-5 - \sqrt{5}}{2}}$
