7x+5x^{2}+1=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{-7±\sqrt{7^{2}-4\times 5\times 1}}{2\times 5}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 5 for a, 7 for b, and 1 for c in the quadratic formula.
x=\frac{-7±\sqrt{29}}{10}
Do the calculations.
x=\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10} x=\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}
Solve the equation x=\frac{-7±\sqrt{29}}{10} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
5\left(x-\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10}\right)\left(x-\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}\right)>0
Rewrite the inequality by using the obtained solutions.
x-\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10}<0 x-\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}<0
For the product to be positive, x-\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10} and x-\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10} have to be both negative or both positive. Consider the case when x-\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10} and x-\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10} are both negative.
x<\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x<\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}.
x-\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}>0 x-\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10}>0
Consider the case when x-\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10} and x-\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10} are both positive.
x>\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x>\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10}.
x<\frac{-\sqrt{29}-7}{10}\text{; }x>\frac{\sqrt{29}-7}{10}
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
