Explanation:

The function is as follows :


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

We need to find the zeroes of the function in the simplest radical form.The zero of the above function is given by :


x=(-b\pm √(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

Here,

b = 5

a = 1

c = 5

So,


x=(-5\pm √(5^2-4* 1* 5) )/(2(1))\\\\x=(-5\pm √(25-20) )/(2(1))\\\\x=(-5\pm √(5) )/(2)

Hence, the correct option is (c).
