Answer:

It can either be rational or irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation ax²+bx+5 = 0, to get the zeros of the function, we will factorize the function to have;

ax²+bx = -5

x(ax+b) = -5

x = -5 and ax+b = -5

From the second function we have;

ax+b = -5

ax = -5-b

x = -5-b/a

This shows that the other value of x can be rational or irrational depending on the values of a and b
