x2+3i=0 so x2=-3i x=square root of (-3i)=square root (-3)square root (i) =i(square root(3)([1/(square root (2)](1+i) and i(square root(3)([-1/(square root (2)](1+i) You can multiply through by i if you want, but I left it since it shows you where the answer came from. Note: The square root of i is 1/square root 2(1+i) and -1/square root of 2 (1+i) to see this, try and square them!
3x2 + 2x + 2 = 0 Can not be factored. You can however solve it for x: 3x2 + 2x = -2 x2 + 2x/3 = -2/3 x2 + 2x/3 + 1/9 = -2/3 + 1/9 (x + 1/9)2 = -5/9 x + 1/9 = ±√(-5/9) x = -1/9 ± i√(5/9) x = -1/9 ± i√5 / 3 x = -1/9 ± 3i√5 / 9 x = (-1 ± 3i√5) / 9
If you want to work with real numbers, there is no answer. the square of any number, whether positive or negative, is a positive number, so x2 cannot be -3. If you accept complex numbers as a solution, the square root of minus 1 is called i (when squared, both i and -i give -1); the square root of -3 is equal to the square root of 3 times i, the square root of -4 is 2i, etc. Complex numbers are frequently used in some areas of science (electricity, quantum mechanics, and others); in other areas, it just doesn't make sense to use them. Similarly, for some problems fractional solutions, or negative solutions, may be acceptable, for others, not.
-4-3i
3x2 = -9 (divide both sides by 3) x2 = -3 (x would have to be the square root of -3) x = ±√-3 x = ±√3i Since you want to solve by factoring: x2 = -3 add 3 to both sides x2 + 3 = 0 x2 - 3i2 = 0 x2 - (√3i)2 = 0 Factor: (x - √3i)(x + √3i) = 0 x - √3i = 0 or x + √3i = 0 x = √3i or x = -√3i
The four roots are:1 + 2i, 1 - 2i, 3i and -3i.
- 2 - 3i
(8+6i)-(2+3i)=6+3i 8+6i-2+3i=6+9i
The answer to the question, as stated, is that the other root could be anything. However, if all the coefficients of the quadratic equation are real numbers, then the other root is 1 minus 3i.
-2 - 3i
[ 2 - 3i ] is.
1/(1+ 3i)
11
(-2 + 3i) + (-1 - 2i) = -2 + 3i - 1 - 2i = -2 - 1 + 3i - 2i = -3 + i
x2 + 9 has no real factors. Its complex factors are (x + 3i) and (x - 3i) where i is the imaginary square root of -1.
