1) 2x^2-5x-10=0 using the quadratic equation we get:

x=(5+-sqrt[-5^2-4*2*-10])/2*2
x=(5+-sqrt[25+80])/4
x=(5+-sqrt105)/4
x=(5+-10.25)/4
x=(5+10.25)/4
x=15.25/4
x=3.81 answer.
x=(5-10.25)/4
x=-5.25/4
x=-1.31 answer.
-------------------------------------------
2) 3x^2-8x+5=0
(3x-5)(x-1)=0
3x-5=0
3x=5
x=5/3 answer.
x-1=0
x=1 answer.
