Question 153171: I can find a way to simplify this expression.
5x**2 + 2x + 1 = 0 ** menas Squared. I canot find two factos that allow me to
(5X+ )(X + ) solve this

5x**2 + 2x + 1 = 0
-------------
Use the quadratic formula:
x = [-2 +- sqrt(4 -4*5*1)]/10
x = [-2 +- sqrt(-16)]/10
x = [-2 +- 4i]/10
x = (-1/5) + (2/5)i or x = (-1/5) - (2/5)i
-------------
Factors:
(x + (1/5) -(2/5)i)(x + (1/5) + (2/5)i) = 0
======================
