![**Question 5: Using the Quadratic Formula**
For Question 5, use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation.
5. \(x^2 + 6x + 10 = 0\)
---
To solve the given quadratic equation, apply the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{{-b \pm \sqrt{{b^2 - 4ac}}}}{2a}
\]
Where \(a = 1\), \(b = 6\), and \(c = 10\).
**Instructions for Students:**
- Substitute the values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) into the quadratic formula.
- Compute the discriminant (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) to determine the nature of the solutions.
- Simplify to find the values of \(x\).
