Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable

Quadratic equation $\"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\"$ (in our case $\"7x%5E2%2B10x%2B5+=+0\"$ ) has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant $\"b%5E2-4ac\"$ should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant $\"b%5E2-4ac\"$ : $\"b%5E2-4ac=%2810%29%5E2-4%2A7%2A5=-40\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " The discriminant -40 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

\n" ); document.write( " If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -40 is + or - $\"sqrt%28+40%29+=+6.32455532033676\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " The solution is

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+7%2Ax%5E2%2B10%2Ax%2B5+%29\"$
