quadratic formula
(1/2a){-b +/- sqrt (b^2-4ac)}
(1/2) {4 +/- sqrt (16-36)} sqrt (-20)= 2i sqrt (5), because it is sqrt (-4)*sqrt (5)
x=(1/2){ 4+/- 2i sqrt (5)}
x=2 +/- i sqrt (5)

Because we are dealing with complex numbers, we will need to use the quadratic formula, where a = 1, b = -4, and c = 9, and substitute the letters with the numbers represented by them:

Next, factor extract a 2 out of the equation to get rid of the two in our denominator:

----->

, which is our final answer
