Question

What are the solution(s) for the following quadratic equation?

f(x)=5x^2+2x-7

Please show work!

Answer 1

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5x^2-2x-7=0`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5x^2-7x+5x-7=0`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x(5x-7)+1(5x-7)=0`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (x-1)(5x-7)=0`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=1,7/5`
