Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = -2x^2-6x-5 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= -\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }i\\[1 em]x_2 &= -\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }i \end{aligned} $$Explanation
The solutions of $ -2x^2-6x-5 = 0 $ are: $ x = -\dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }+\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }i ~ \text{and} ~ x = -\dfrac{ 3 }{ 2 }-\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }i$.
