Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = x^2-5x-250 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 18.5078\\[1 em]x_2 &= -13.5078 \end{aligned} $$Explanation
The solutions of $ x^2-5x-250 = 0 $ are: $ x = \dfrac{ 5 }{ 2 }-\dfrac{ 5 \sqrt{ 41}}{ 2 } ~ \text{and} ~ x = \dfrac{ 5 }{ 2 }+\dfrac{ 5 \sqrt{ 41}}{ 2 }$.
