So like I solved this equations using the quadratic formula...got (-1 +/- 2*sqrt2i)/3..

anonymous · Answer

And I can't solve it by simple factoring..

anonymous · Answer

I'm stumped about the instructions to write it in a+bi form...

anonymous · Answer

oops..disregard everything I said..

anonymous · Answer

that answer I got was for a different problem I was working on...

anonymous · Answer

that had the same instructions and format as the one I posted...pretty much..
