x^2=-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To solve you would take the square root of both sides, but you can not take the square root of a negative number. So there's no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if your subject require you to find the complex root you can also solve this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its just it has no Real number solution root , but theres complex root, do you want me to show you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember \[\sqrt{-1}=i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2=-9 square root on both sides gives \[x=\sqrt{-9}\] \[x=\sqrt{9(-1)}\] \[x=+9 i and x=-3 i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry thats x= plus or minus 3 i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= 3 i, x= -3 i thats your complex roots
