Answer:

x = -7/2 and x = 1

So, there are 2 roots of this equation.

And the roots are real numbers.

Explanation:

We need to describe the nature of roots for this equation

2x^2+5x-7=0

2x^2-2x+7x-7=0

2x(x-1)+7(x-1)=0

(2x+7)(x-1)=0

2x+7=0, x-1=0

2x=-7, x =1

x = -7/2 and x = 1

So, there are 2 roots of this equation.

And the roots are real numbers.
