    Step-by-step explanation:

    a = 5; b = - 8; c = 5

    b² - 4ac = (-8) ² - 4 * 5 * 5 = 64 - 100 = (-36) < 0

    x = - b ± √ (4ac - b²) i / 2a

    = - (-8) ±√ 4 * 5 * 5 - (-8) ² i / 2 * 5

    = 8 ± √36 i

    10

    = 8 ± 6 i

    10

    = 2 (4 ± 3i) = 4 ± 3i

    10 5

    = 4 ± 3i

    5 5

    x = 4/5 + 3i/5; x = 4/5 - 3i/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5x² - 8x + 5 = 0

    delta = b² - 4ac a = 5 and b = - 8 and c=5

    delta = (-8) ² - 4 (5) (5) = 64 - 100 = - 36 = (6i) ². i² = - 1

    x1 = (8-6i) / 10 = (4-3i) / 5

    x2 = (8+6i) / 10 = (4+3i) / 5

    so r=4 and s=3 and t = 5
