Given:

There is a quadratic equation given as below


10x^2+5x-6=0

Required:

We need to find all the roots of given equation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two roots of given equation because there is mamimum power 2

To find roots

compare given equation with


ax^2+bx+c=0

by this we get


\begin{gathered} a=10 \\ b=5 \\ c=-6 \end{gathered}

Now solve with the quadratic formula


x_(1,2)=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

plug all the values


\begin{gathered} x_(1,2)=(-5\pm√(25-4*10*(-6)))/(2*10) \\ \\ x_(1,2)=(-5\pm√(25+240))/(20) \\ \\ x_(1,2)=(-5\pm√(265))/(20) \end{gathered}

Final answer:

Roots of given equation is


x_(1,2)=(-5\pm√(265))/(20)
