can someone please help me out? fan and medal
What is the solution to x2 + 8x + 19 = 0 when written in the form a + bi?
x^2 sorry
@.Sam. @ganeshie8
@agent0smith do you think you can help me please
Im just having a tough time solving this. I keep getting weird answers. I have answer choices if anyone needs inspiration.. Im working on a work sheet with practice problems.
You can use the Quadratic Formula (-i x+sqrt(3)-4 i) (i x+sqrt(3)+4 i)
What do I plug in there?
Solve for x: x^2+8 x+19 = 0 x = (-8±sqrt(8^2-4×19))/2 = (-8±sqrt(64-76))/2 = (-8±sqrt(-12))/2: x = (-8+sqrt(-12))/2 or x = (-8-sqrt(-12))/2 sqrt(-12) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(12) = i sqrt(12): x = (-8+i sqrt(12))/2 or x = (-8-i sqrt(12))/2 sqrt(12) = sqrt(4×3) = sqrt(2^2×3) = 2sqrt(3): x = (i×2 sqrt(3)-8)/(2) or x = (-i×2 sqrt(3)-8)/(2) Factor 2 from -8+2 i sqrt(3) giving 2 (i sqrt(3)-4): x = 1/22 (i sqrt(3)-4) or x = (-2 i sqrt(3)-8)/(2) (2 (i sqrt(3)-4))/(2) = i sqrt(3)-4: x = i sqrt(3)-4 or x = (-2 i sqrt(3)-8)/(2) Factor 2 from -8+-2 i sqrt(3) giving 2 (-i sqrt(3)-4): x = i sqrt(3)-4 or x = 1/22 (-i sqrt(3)-4) (2 (-i sqrt(3)-4))/(2) = -i sqrt(3)-4: Answer: | | x = i sqrt(3)-4 or x = -i sqrt(3)-4
Those are the choices..
So c then?
Yes.the third option.
whoa.... \[x= \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\] Where: a=1 b=8 c=19 \[x= \frac{ -8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 -4(1)(19)} }{ 2(1) }\] Plug this^^^^^^^^ into your calculator or an online one. Doesn't matter.
Thank you so much!! I have one more question. I just need help verifying something. Do you think if i open a new question someone could help me out? :)
Start a new question. @angiepangie0726
