Answer 1

Answer:

I rounded to the nearest hundredth if that's okay.

Step-by-step explanation:

5.37,-0.37

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{33} }{2}$ and $x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{33} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a

x = [-(-5)±√((-5)²-4(1)(-2))]/2(1)

x = [5±√(25+8)]/2

x= [-5±√(33)]/2

Therefore:

$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{33} }{2}$ and $x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{33} }{2}$
