\[5x^2 = -30x - 65 \] rewrite as
\[5x^2+30x+65=0\] divide by 5
\[x^2+6x+13=0\] and do from there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = -3 ± 2i
x = -3 ± 4i
x = -6 ± 2i
x = -6 ± 4i
OpenStudy (anonymous):
guess it it one of those
OpenStudy (anonymous):
still confused @satellite73
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^2+6x+13=0\] is what you need to solve
do you know how to do it"

cant you just use the snowflake method?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol if i had ever heard of snowflake
what is that, walt disney math?
OpenStudy (kva1992):
haha well i call it the diamond method but i recently heard it referred to as the snowflake method
OpenStudy (kva1992):
actually you have to do the quadratic nvm lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not heard of either
must be new math
in any case lets solve it
\[x^2+6x+13=0\\
x^2+6x=-13\\
(x+3)^2=-13+9=-4\\
x+3=\sqrt{-4}\\x+3=\pm2i\\
x=-3\pm2i\]

OpenStudy (kva1992):
thats the diamond i was taught as diamond im sure its referred to as something different
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have absolutely no clue as to what you are doing
OpenStudy (kva1992):
i was just showing you what the diamond is lol usually used for factoring polynomials instead of the guessing method
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you @satellite73
