find the roots of the equation 7x^2+11x-2=0 in exact form

since the values are too difficult to calculate from factorising, we use the quadratic formula ((-b)±(b^2-4ac)^(1/2))/(2a).putting the values in as (ax^2+bx+c=0) we find the roots in exact form are;(-11+(177)^(1/2))/14and (-11-(177)^(1/2))/14
