First, we need to find the discriminant (D) of the quadratic equation:
D = b^2 - 4ac
In this case, the equation is in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, so:a = -1b = 5c = 7
D = 5^2 - 4(-1)(7)D = 25 + 28D = 53
Now, we can find the roots of the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √D) / 2a
x1 = (5 + √53) / (2(-1))x1 = (5 + √53) / -2
x2 = (5 - √53) / (2(-1))x2 = (5 - √53) / -2
Therefore, x1 = (5 + √53) / -2 and x2 = (5 - √53) / -2.
