Which two values of xare roots of the polynomial below?
5x^2-5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the quadratic formula.  The coefficients are {5, -5, 1}.  The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, which here works out to 25 - 4(5)(1), or 5.  This positive result tells us that this quadratic has two unequal, real roots.  These roots are:

     -(-5) ± √5       5 ± √5

x = =

           10                  10

Step-by-step explanation:

can't factor so can use quadratic

5 +/- √(25-20)/10

(5+√5)/10

(5-√5)/10

answer: correct
