x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-5\right)\left(-1\right)}}{2\left(-5\right)}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute -5 for a, 0 for b, and -1 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-5\right)\left(-1\right)}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{20\left(-1\right)}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Multiply -4 times -5.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20}}{2\left(-5\right)}
Multiply 20 times -1.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5}i}{2\left(-5\right)}
Take the square root of -20.
x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5}i}{-10}
Multiply 2 times -5.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{5}i}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5}i}{-10} when ± is plus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{5}i}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2\sqrt{5}i}{-10} when ± is minus.
x=-\frac{\sqrt{5}i}{5} x=\frac{\sqrt{5}i}{5}
The equation is now solved.
