Question

solve for x over the complex numbers. write in a+bi form. 52=4-2(x-3)(x-3)

Answer 1

Well, for starters I would try and get x by itself. And then find what x=. Then I would concentrate on the second part which is putting x into a+bi form.

Answer 2

i can get it down to x=3+- 24i . but im stuck on simplifying it any further

Answer 3

rewrite the equation

and start by subtraction 4 from both sides

48 = -2(x-3)^2

that should make it a little easier...

Answer 4

rewrite the radical

\[\sqrt{-24} = 2i \sqrt{6}\]

Answer 5

hope it helps
