we have


0=5x^(2) -2x+6

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation


5x^(2) -2x=-6

Factor the leading coefficient


5(x^(2) -(2/5)x)=-6

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


5(x^(2) -(2/5)x+(1/25))=-6+(1/5)


5(x-(1/5))^(2)=-(29/5)


(x-(1/5))^(2)=-(29/25)

remember that


i=√(-1)


(x-(1/5))^(2)=-(29/25)\\ \\ (x-(1/5))=(+/-)\frac{√(29)} {5}i\\ \\ x1=(1)/(5) +\frac{√(29)} {5}i\\ \\ x2=(1)/(5) -\frac{√(29)} {5}i

therefore

the answer is

the solutions of the quadratic equation are


x1=(1)/(5) +\frac{√(29)} {5}i


x2=(1)/(5) -\frac{√(29)} {5}i
