\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The roots of the quadratic equation } x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0 \text{ are approximately } 4.19 \text{ and } -1.19}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the quadratic equation \(x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0\), we can use the quadratic formula to find the roots: \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = 1\), \(b = -3\), and \(c = -5\).

Step 2 :Calculate the discriminant: \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-3)^2 - 4(1)(-5) = 9 + 20 = 29\).

Step 3 :Find the roots: \(x_1 = \frac{-(-3) + \sqrt{29}}{2(1)} \approx 4.19\) and \(x_2 = \frac{-(-3) - \sqrt{29}}{2(1)} \approx -1.19\).

Step 4 :\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: The roots of the quadratic equation } x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0 \text{ are approximately } 4.19 \text{ and } -1.19}\)
