Question 238836: Hello,Well im stuck on this Quadratic formula.I really need your help, because I tried to do it my self but im not doing it right I guess because the answer im getting is not the answers provided. Can you help me please?
Problem:x^2-8x+30=0
My work:a=1, b=-8, c=30
x=[8+-(-8^(2)-4(1)(30))^(1/2)]/2(1)
=[8+-(64-120)^(1/2)]/2
=[8+-(-56)^(1/2)]/2
=[8+-2i(14)^(1/2)]/2
=4+-i(14)^(1/2)
My options:
A.) -4+4i,-4-4i
B.)4+4i,4-4i
C.)4+8i,4-8i
D.)-4+8i,-4-8i

Hey!
We can prove it, find the equation using our solution:

:
Square both sides
(x-4)^2 = i^2(14)
Which is
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -1(14)
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -14
x^2 - 8x + 16 + 14 = 0
x^2 - 8x + 30 = 0; does that look familiar?
