Question 766327: solve by using quadratic formula. prove answer or correct by checking
(5x+1)^2+13=0
This is my answer can it be simplified further. Thanks
25x^2+10x+14=0
b^2-4ac=(10)^2-4*(25)(14)=100-1400=-1300
x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
x=(-(10)±√(-1300))/(2(25))
x=(-10±√(-(2^2 x5^2 x〖13〗^1 ))/(2(25))
1/50(-10±10i√13)

Using solution to quadratic formula is the long way to the answer because you already have the equation in standard form. Just solve directly.






While your steps are a little difficult to follow, you seemed to simply not simplify at the end; otherwise, good.
