Answer

The given equation is 25x2 + 30x + 7 = 0.

Comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 25 , b = 30 , c = 7

By using formula,

x=b±b24ac2ax = \dfrac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

we obtain:

x=(30)±(302)4×25×72×25x=30±90070050x=30±20050x=30+20050 or 3020050x=30+10250 or 3010250x=3+25 or 325\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-(30) ± \sqrt{(30^2) - 4\times 25 \times 7}}{2 \times 25} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-30 ± \sqrt{900 - 700}}{50} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-30 ± \sqrt{200}}{50} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-30 + \sqrt{200}}{50} \text{ or } \dfrac{-30 - \sqrt{200}}{50} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-30 + 10\sqrt{2}}{50} \text { or } \dfrac{-30 - 10\sqrt{2}}{50} \\[1em] x = \dfrac{-3 + \sqrt{2}}{5} \text{ or } \dfrac{-3 - \sqrt{2}}{5}

Hence roots of the given equation are 3+25,325\dfrac{-3 + \sqrt{2}}{5} , \dfrac{-3 - \sqrt{2}}{5}.
