(6x-8)^1/2 = -2

Parth (parthkohli):

Trick question.

Parth (parthkohli):

@ajprincess Continue your explanation, please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(6x-8)^{1/2}=-2\]

Parth (parthkohli):

@lornbeach Are you familiar with imaginary/complex numbers?

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

@parthkohli pls go ahead. np. I have some work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Parth (parthkohli):

@ajprincess Please continue :-)

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\sqrt{4i} = -2\]Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

Parth (parthkohli):

And \(\sqrt{6x - 8} = -2\) also, right?

Parth (parthkohli):

I might be leaving some solutions, but well.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I don't know what you're insinuating with \[\sqrt{4i} = -2\] But don't complicate this more than it should be...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

False, by the way...

Parth (parthkohli):

@terenzreignz There are no solutions in real numbers...

Parth (parthkohli):

She needs complex solutions, maybe.

Parth (parthkohli):

@lornbeach Do you need real or complex solutions?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's got nothing to do with \[\sqrt{4i} = -2\] @lornbeach don't worry about this :) @ParthKohli If you must... \[\large \sqrt{4i}=\sqrt2+i\sqrt2\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh wait O_O

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Now he gets it...

Parth (parthkohli):

>_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk about real or ocmplex solutions, it just says solve and gives the answer choices: x=2 x=12 x=-2 none of the above

Parth (parthkohli):

Ah, then there are no solutions.

mathslover (mathslover):

It is easy where did iota come from? O.OOOO

Parth (parthkohli):

There are no solutions ^_^

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

@lornbeach In general, and in the real numbers, square roots are NEVER negative, so none of the above :) @mathslover Blame @ParthKohli

Parth (parthkohli):

@mathslover Arrey, mujhe laga imaginary solutions chahiye they asker ko

mathslover (mathslover):

No problem @ParthKohli .

Parth (parthkohli):

NO SOLUTIONS.

Parth (parthkohli):

A SQUARE ROOT IS NEVER NEGATIVE.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankk youu(:

mathslover (mathslover):

No solutions is what you have!

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Srinivasa Ramanujan stares so creepily...

Parth (parthkohli):

lol

mathslover (mathslover):

Ramanujan is ill. pardon him!

Parth (parthkohli):

@terenzreignz Using Google Images enough, eh?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No. Come on... I know what the guy looks like :(

mathslover (mathslover):

;)
