(5n+2)^2+1=-27

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

expand (5n+2)^2 have you tried that @jeff98184 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

complete the square i think

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh wait..i have a better idea...add 1 to both sides

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

then square root both sides to get rid of the square!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep getting a negative in the square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\((5n+2)^{2}=-28\) Seems like a complex.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i even tried working it as a quadratic and still couldnt get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It has complex solutions.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

then there's a negative in the square root..what's the p[roblem with that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it is complex numbers; no problem at all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(5x+2= 2i\sqrt{7}\)
