Question

HELP PLEASE
What are the exact solutions of x^2+5x+2=0 ?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're familiar with the quadratic formula. \[\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]where you have \[a=1\]\[b=5\]\[c=2\]What do you get when you make the appropriate substitutions?

Answer 2

you are going to get a little messy solution here
