Consider the trinomial \(5x^2-2x-3.\)

1. Find the discriminant:

\(D=b^2-4ac=(-2)^2-4\cdot 5\cdot (-3)=4+60=64,\\ \\\sqrt{D}=8>0.\)

2. Find the roots of given trinomial:

\(x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}=\dfrac{2\pm 8}{2\cdot 5}=1,-0.6.\)

3. Conclusion: given trinomial has two different real roots.
