what do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets start with A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+4=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2=-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=sqrt(-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+/-2i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A isn't an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try factoring B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried that but none of them were the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):
