    x1, x2 = 4.74, - 2.74

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the roots of a quadratic function we have to use the bhaskara formula

    ax^2 + bx + c

    x^2 - 2x - 13

    a = 1 b = - 2 c = - 13

    x1 = (-b + √ b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

    x2 = (-b - √ b^2 - 4ac) / 2a

    x1 = (2 + √ (2^2 - 4 * 1 * (-13))) / 2 * 1

    x1 = (2 + √ (4 + 52)) / 2

    x1 = (2 + √ 56) / 2

    x1 = (2 + 7.48) / 2

    x1 = 9.48 / 2

    x1 = 4.74

    x2 = (2 - √ (2^2 - 4 * 1 * (-13))) / 2 * 1

    x2 = (2 - √ (4 + 52)) / 2

    x2 = (2 - √ 56) / 2

    x2 = (2 - 7.48) / 2

    x2 = - 5.48 / 2

    x2 = - 2.74
