solve: 4x^2+4=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 4 from both sides: \[4x ^{2}=-4\]

myininaya (myininaya):

x^2+1=0 x^2=-1 x=+ or - i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{2}=-1\] x=+/-i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = -i and x= i it has imaginary roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks..whats about x^2-x+8=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

myin and inik are making a basic mistake \[\sqrt{-1}=i\]

myininaya (myininaya):

i got + or - i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for x^2 - x +8 = 0 again u hv imaginary roots 1 iroot31 1 iroot31 x = ---- + ------- and ----- - -------- 2 2 2 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myininaya what is root of -1 ????? You cannot take root of negative numbers !!!

myininaya (myininaya):

sqrt{-1} is i which i have above!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kate ans for first question is x= i and x = -i

myininaya (myininaya):

which is what i got i dont understand you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myininaya and inik Sorry, i commented on your ans as wrong because yr answers looked like 1 to me instead of i !!! My mistake .....
