### Example Question #511 : High School: Algebra

Solve

Explanation:

We can solve this by using the quadratic formula.

, , 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
