You have to see if the polynomial is factorable


10x^2+5x-6=0

In this case, it isn't, so now see the grade of the polynomial, we can see that is grade 2, so we can use the quadratic formula to find the roots:


x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

the polynomial is in the form:


ax^2+bx+c

So, replace


x=(-5\pm√(5^2-(4*10*-6)))/(2*10)=(-5\pm√(25+240))/(20)=(-5\pm√(265))/(20)

So we have two imaginary roots


x=(-5+√(265))/(20),\:x=(-5-√(265))/(20)
