Example Question #1 : Solve Quadratic Equations By Inspection, Quadratic Formula, Factoring, Completing The Square, And Taking Square Roots: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Rei.B.4b
Solve
We can solve this by using the quadratic formula.
The quadratic formula is
, , and correspond to coefficients in the quadratic equation, which is
In this case , , and .
Since the number inside the square root is negative, we will have an imaginary answer.
We will put an , outside the square root sign, and then do normal operations.
Now we split this up into two equations.
So our solutions are and
