Answer:
Either
x = 4+3i /5 or x = 4-3i /5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we will follow the steps below;
write down the quadratic formula;
x = -b±√b² - 4ac /2a
First lets compare the equation 5x² - 8x + 5 = 0 to the standard quadratic equation ax² + bx + c
a = 5 b = -8 and c= 5
we can now proceed to substitute the above value into the quadratic formula and then solve. That is;
x = -b±√b² - 4ac /2a
= -(-8)±√(-8)² - 4(5)(5) /2(5)
= 8 ±√64-100 /10
=8 ±√-36 /10
= 8 ±√36 . √-1 /10 note that √-1 = i
=8±6i /10

=[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ±[tex]\frac{3i}{5}[/tex]
Either
x = 4+3i /5 or x = 4-3i /5
