Im so confused.. (true or false) The complex (imaginary part) of one of the solutions of ix^4+(1+i)x^2+7 = 0 is 3i. Is that false?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

does x=3i produce a zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i just plug into quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just plug it into the equation itself ix^4+(1+i)x^2+7 i(3i)^4+(1+i)(3i)^2+7 3^4 i^5 + 3^2 i^3 + 9i^2 + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After plugging in what would I do next

OpenStudy (amistre64):

see if it maths into a zero solution ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
