Answer:

$x=(5\pm i√(3))/(2)$

Explanation:

You want to solve the quadratic equation x² −5x +7 = 0 using the quadratic formula.

The coefficients in the given equation are a = 1, b = -5, c = 7. The quadratic formula is ...

$x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)$

Using the coefficients for the given equation, the solutions are ...

$x=(-(-5)\pm√((-5)^2-4(1)(7)))/(2(1))=(5\pm√(-3))/(2)\\\\\\\boxed{x=(5\pm i√(3))/(2)}$

Additional comment

The square root of a negative number is imaginary.

√(-3)=(√(-1))(√(3))=i√(3)
