Solve 5x^2 = –30x – 65
You have to use the quadratic equation to solve it. So set it to 0.
so i would get x=-6+4i/2 or x=-6-4i/2
Im not sure, ill have to do the problem
You can't factorise this problem so you have to use the quadratic formula like OpenSessame said.
should i simplify that so i can get x=\[x=(-6\pm4i)/2\]
Re arrange it first 5x^2 = –30x – 65 5x^2+30x+65=0
@jj911832 is this one of the answer choices?
now it has been rearranged you can divide by five
Ye 5 like @UnkleRhaukus said
no these are my choices x = –3 ± 2i x = –3 ± 4i x = –6 ± 2i x = –6 ± 4i
5 is the GCF so, 5(x^2+6x+13)
a:1 b:6 c:13 Plug in the formula and solve..
Do you even know the Quad formula @jj911832
yes
oh right you have already used the quuadratic formula and got x=(−6±4i)/2 which is the same as x=−(6/2) ±(4/2) i
so i would get an answer of \[3 \pm2i\]

yea negetive 3.. sorry
Correct!
