Question 1136617: OK, so I'm new here and have no clue what I'm doing, but I'll shoot.
I am completing the square, solving for X, and checking with the two solutions.
eg.X^2 + 2X + 3 = 0 Figuring out the problem, I got X = +/- i sqrt2.
For the check I used my calculator to do the solution into the problem with the + sign. But now I have tried doing it with the negative sign and it doesn't work. Need help bad!!!

X^2 + 2X + 3 = 0
X^2 + 2X = -3
x^2 + 2x + 1 = -2
(x+1)^2 = -2
x + 1 = +sqrt(-2), - sqrt(-2)
x = -1 + isqrt(2), -1 - isqrt(2)
