x = the quantity of negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 3 all over 2
x = the quantity of 5 plus or minus the square root of 3 all over 2
x = the quantity of negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 53 all over 2
x = the quantity of 5 plus or minus the square root of 53 all over 2

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Using The Almighty Formula (attached)

Note the symbol ^ is used to denote a raise to power

Where from the equation given x^2-5x-7

With a,b,c coefficients

a=1 b=-5 c=-7

From the Almighty Formula

√b^2-4ac=√(-5)^2-4(-7)=√53

Substituting in the Almighty Formula

-(-5) ±√53/2(1)= 5±√53/2

x=5+√53/2 and x=5-√53/2
