What are the solutions?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

\(1/2x^2+2x+3=0\) @Mirahalfian

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

Is it \(x=-2\pm\sqrt6\) ?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

@TheSmartOne sorry to bug you, but would you mind checking this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If in the form of Vertex,

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

I don't get how you got that...I found a mistake in mine but fixed it now: \(x=-2\pm\sqrt-2\) but I don't know how to simplify it any more.....I don't need it in vertex form though........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm if you got that answer, then the only way to simplify it is by using the "complex number" form that involves in "i" form.

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

okay....so would it be \(x=-2\pm i\sqrt2\)?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

I have no idea...or \(x=-2\pm 2i\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = - 2 ± (√ 2) i

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

what does that say? I can't see it....all I see is diamonds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, x = -2 +- (square root of 2) i

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

Okay I see it now...but why would it be \((\sqrt 2)i\)?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

why wouldn't it just be 2i since it is \(\sqrt-2\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i is equal to square root of -1 Yours is Square root of -2, So, (Square root of 2)*(Square root of -1) That makes it to be Square root of 2)i

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

I'm really confused :/

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

but wouldn't the \(\sqrt-1\) aka i*2 just equal \(\sqrt-2\) I am just utterly confused...
