(x+9)^2=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X=-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-7 x=-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's not -11. You can't square root a negative number without the involvement of i.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the i involved

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+9=square root(4) x+9=-square root(4) x+9-9= 2-9 x+9-9 =-2-9 x=-7 x=-11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -7i and -11i????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both are real numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but im confused because they r not giving me that option, they want the solutions and they want them to include i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me two real numbers as they will not sack the square root of the number if it has a negative sign outside the root itself is not negative on 4
