To solve the quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula, we'll follow the standard steps without altering the coefficients.
Step 1: Identify the Coefficients
The equation is:
The coefficients are:
a = -1
b = -4
c = 5
Step 2: Calculate the Discriminant
Next, we calculate the discriminant (D):
D = 16 + 20 = 36
Step 3: Apply the Quadratic Formula
Now we apply the Quadratic Formula:
Substituting the values we found:
