OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

have you tried let \(u=x^2\)? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3u²+2u+9=0?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

yes; have you tried factoring it or using the quadratic formula to solve for \(u\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but i think that \[\Delta <0\] no?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

woops; its a complex, i forgot to check sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

yes we can; its a complex solution though, do you know complex numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):
