Answer:

[tex]1+\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is defined as

[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]          .... (1)

then the quadratic formula is

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

The given quadratic equation is

[tex]0=-x^2+2x+1[/tex]

It can we written as

[tex]-x^2+2x+1=0[/tex]             .... (2)

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

[tex]a=-1,b=2,c=1[/tex]

Substitute these values in the quadratic formula.

[tex]x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4(-1)(1)}}{2(-1)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{4+4}}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-2\pm \sqrt{8}}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{-2\pm 2\sqrt{2}}{-2}[/tex]

Taking out common factors.

[tex]x=\dfrac{-2(1\pm \sqrt{2})}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]x=1\pm \sqrt{2}[/tex]

Two roots are

[tex]x=1+\sqrt{2}[/tex] and [tex]x=1-\sqrt{2}[/tex]

We know that

[tex]\sqrt{2}=1.41[/tex]

So

[tex]1<\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore, root [tex]x=1+\sqrt{2}[/tex] is positive and [tex]x=1-\sqrt{2}[/tex] is negative.
