it ok dude

Answer 26

use the quadratic formula:

\[\frac{ 4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(-3)(-4)} }{ 2(-3) }\]

reduces to:

\[\frac{ 4 \pm \sqrt{-32} }{ -6 }\]

since you cannot take the square root of a negative you insert i.

\[x =\frac{ 4 + \sqrt{32}i }{ -6 }\]

AND

\[x =\frac{ 4 - \sqrt{32}i }{ -6 }\]
