x2 - 1 is not a perfect square and thus does not have a square root. It does have two factors though, and those would be (x - 1) and (x + 1).

*** if x2-1 is in the square root symbol [also (x2-1)-2 ], you would end up with x+1-2 throught the process of distribution. (which is the same as saying the square root of 1)

Factor x squared plus x minus 10?

to factor this equation you need to use the quadratic formula:in this question a=1, b=1, c= -10so after you plug in those number you answer would be:x= (-1+ or - the square root of -39) divided by 2


Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula x2 - 6x 6 0?

if this is x squared -6x+6=0 then -6=b, a=1, c=6 6+ square root of -6 squared-4(6x1) - 6+ square root of (36-24) - 6+ square root of 12 - 6+ square root of 4 x square root of 3 - 6 + (2x square root of 3) - that is all divided by 2 multiplied by a meaning it is divided by 2. so x= 6 + or - (2 square root 3) divided by 2 srry steps are jmbled -


How can you solve the equation x2 plus 3i equals 0?

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!


Is the square root of -4 irrational?

The square root of -4 is not irrational, it is imaginary. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction, like the square root of 2. Irrational numbers, however, are a subset of real numbers. The square root of -4 however, is not even a real number because no real number, when squared, gives -4. Therefore the square root of -4 is an imaginary number.In calculus, the root is expressed as 2i where iis the square root of -1.

What is the square root of -1?

The square root of -1 is usually marked as undefined. however if you would like to go through or past Algebra 2 then the answer would be i, or imaginary. There is no definite answer in the realm of real numbers so the answer comes to be imaginary. So if you see a t-shirt, or flair button on facebook, that starts with the "square root of negative one" symbol followed by a heart - it symbolizes: "I Love...".i, an imaginary number.
