Have you studied complex numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The discriminant of your quadratic equation is -23. This means your solutions will be complex. Are you sure you've posted the equation correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+13x-12=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would have non-complex factors, yes. Is that the problem you're trying to solve?

4x^2-13x+12=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you learned about imaginary numbers yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

leon, your equation would lead you to complex solutions. Namely, \[x=\frac{13 \pm i \sqrt{23}}{8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
