Find all solutions of the equation x^2 -2 x + 6 = 0 by using the quadratic formula. Express the soutions in the form a + bi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi you can solve it by factorizing, its very easy method to solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm glad its easy... but i don't see it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait friend i am explaining with you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[-b-/+sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use also quadratic formula. Yes here is a=1,b=-2 and c=6 put the values then solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be \[2+/- 2i \sqrt{5} \over 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand how to imput the numbers in the quadratic equation, I'm just unsure of the final answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify the 2. So finally it would equal --> \[1 +/- i \sqrt{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put the values in below online calculator http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/quadratic.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hhhhmm now its simple x=-b+-sqrootb^2-4ac/2a -(-2)+-sqroot-2^2+4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I attached a screenshot of where I am supposed to type in the answers. I am unsure how to do that part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so where b<0: a=1, b=-1? and b>0: a=1, and b=1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the "b=" parts are both wrong. :/ im gonna go to bed and try again at it in the morning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank yall for helping.
