OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is algebra 2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^3-8=0\] \[(x-2)(x^2+2x+4)=0\] one solution is \(x=2\) the other two you get from the quadratic formula to solve \[x^2+2x+4=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or complete the square, which is easiest in this case \[x^2+2x+4=0\] \[x^2+2x=-4\] \[(x+1)=-4+1=-3\] \[x+1=\pm\sqrt{-3}=\sqrt{3}i\] \[x=-1\pm\sqrt{3}i\]
