OpenStudy (kabbledoo):
please help
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
What do you need to do?
OpenStudy (aveline):
Start out by dividing by -2
OpenStudy (kabbledoo):

If we're dealing with imaginary numbers, we should use the quadratic formula. Do you know it?
OpenStudy (kabbledoo):
yea i dont remember it
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
\(\Large\bf x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4ac}}{2a}\)
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
Where the equation is ax^2 + bx + c
OpenStudy (aveline):
x^2+8x+22=0
\[\frac{ -8\pm \sqrt{8^{2}-4*1*22} }{ 2*1 }\]

i did it is it x=-4 +/- i(radical)6
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
@Aveline The b term is -16 not 8
OpenStudy (aveline):
\[\frac{ -8\pm 2\sqrt{5} }{ 2 }=\frac{ -4\pm \sqrt{5} }{ 1 }\]

@AbdullahM
I simplified by dividing by -2
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
@kabbledoo
Solve this:
\(\Large\frac{ -(-16)\pm \sqrt{(-16^{2})-4\cdot(-2)\cdot (-44)} }{ 2\cdot(-2) }\)
