Finish it up and tell me what you get :).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I put -x + 5 = 0 into the calculator?

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

You can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I got x = 5.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would my answer be I square root of 11, -i square root of 11, 5

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Do you have answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. I do

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

LIst them please.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Hm...This complicates things.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Well you can eliminate A and C as the 5 is not negative.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

I cannot help any further as I do not remember how to get the full equation, however my method is correct with giving your variable as a positive and 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

So based on your judgement and brains you should be able to get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should I pick D?

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

I need to know what does i represent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All it says is find the roots of the polynomial equation..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So maybe it's B? with no letter i in it.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

I think it may be B, I hope it is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

I am very sorry if it is not correct!

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

After all I am human. ^_^
