x^@-2x=-2 answwers will be in comments
a) x=-1+-i sqrt{2} b) x=1+- i sqrt{2} c) x=-1+-i d)x=1+-i
@hartnn
its, \(x^2-2x=-2\) right ?
yes that person that was trying to help me on the other question confused me you helped lol but yes that is the equation
write it as \(x^2-2x+2=0\) Compare ^ quadratic equation with \(ax^2+bx+c=0\) find \[a=...?\\b=...?\\c=...?\\\] \[ \\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=...?\] then the two roots of x are: \(\huge{x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}\)
a=1 b=-2 c=2
correct , b^2-4ac =... ?
-2^2-4(1)(2)=-4
good! :) so, now just plug in the values in the formula
..... watttttt
\(\huge{x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}\)
oh
can you solve firther ?
\(\huge{x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-4}}{2}=\frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{-1}}{2}\) you know \(\sqrt{-1}=i\) ?
no not really this is where i get confused and yes i know the sqrt of-1 is i
\(\huge \frac{2 \pm 2\sqrt{-1}}{2}=\frac{2 \pm 2i}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}\pm\dfrac{2i}{2}\) got this ?
yes so it should be d right
yes :D
yay im still gonna need your help on a few more questions
sorry, i have to leave, i need to go somewhere urgently....
oh ok
