We will apply discriminant rule,
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
$D = b^2 - 4ac$
$=1^2-4.\sqrt{5}.\sqrt{5}$
$= 1 - 20$
$= -19$
From (A)
$\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-19}}{2.\sqrt{5}}$
$=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-19}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{5}}$
Thus,
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{19}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{5}}$
