2x^2-3x+5=0

The quadratic formula is:


\begin{gathered} ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ \\ x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \end{gathered}

For the given equation you have:

a=2

b=-3

c=5


\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt[]{(-3)^2-4(2)(5)}}{2(2)} \\ \\ x=\frac{3\pm\sqrt[]{9-40}}{4} \\ \\ x=\frac{3\pm\sqrt[]{-31}}{4} \end{gathered}

For the square root of a negative number you have that:


\sqrt[]{-1}=i

Then:


\sqrt[]{-31}=\sqrt[]{-1}\cdot\sqrt[]{31}=i\sqrt[]{31}Then, the solution of the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula is:
x=\frac{3\pm i\cdot\sqrt[]{31}}{4}
