anonymous · Answer

m = 5

mertsj · Answer

replace x with 5i and solve for m

anonymous · Answer

X^2=-5

anonymous · Answer

square root both sides

mertsj · Answer

@salparadise64 Might want to rethink your advice.

anonymous · Answer

x= 5i

anonymous · Answer

@salparadise64 @Mertsj wouldnt it be -25?

anonymous · Answer

bro, i know what im doing

mertsj · Answer

$$(5i)^2+m=0$$
$$-25+m=0$$
$$m=25$$

anonymous · Answer

i have a bachelors in applied mathematics

mertsj · Answer

Congratulations.

anonymous · Answer

so shove off poser

mertsj · Answer

$$x^2+25=0$$
has one solution of 5i and another solution of -5i

mertsj · Answer

Yes, @salparadise64 , x = 5i.  That was given.  Your job was to solve for m

anonymous · Answer

extraneous roots bro bro. you can't go around introducing numerical values like that. where did you get your  bachelors in applied mathematics from?

anonymous · Answer

oh, is the answer "nowhere" or "i don't have one" ? then i suggest you listen to a real graduate.

@salparadise64 @Mertsj   lmao its just math problem guys but thanks alot of your help

What did you get for m?

anonymous · Answer
