Discriminant = b2 – 4ac

= 36 – 4 × 5 × (–2)

= 76 > 0

So, the given equation has two distinct real roots.

5x2 – 6x – 2 = 0

Multiplying both sides by 5.

(5x)2 – 2 × (5x) × 3 = 10

(5x)2 – 2 × (5x) × 3 + 32 = 10 + 32

(5x – 3)2 = 19

5x – 3 = ±√19

x = (3 ± √19)/5

Hope This Helps :)


ExoticExplorer: Ok, see this, a simpler solution:
ExoticExplorer: D= b²-4ac is called discriminant.

The nature of roots depend upon the value of the discriminant D. Since D can be zero, positive or negative.

When D>0

If D= b²-4ac >0, then

x= -b+√D/2a & -b-√D/2a

So, the quadratic equation has two distinct real roots.
