x^2 + 4x + 7 = 0
x^2 + 4x = -7
(x + 2)^2 = 4 - 7 = -3
x + 2 = +- sqrt(3)i
x = -2 +- sqrt(3)i

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

The discriminant -12 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -12 is + or - .

The solution is
