SOLUTION: ok, I need to find the intercept And the roots of this equation... y=20x^2 - 282(x) + 1000 so that is again y= 20 multiplied by x squared minus 282 multiplied by x plus 1000

Question 172591: ok, I need to find the intercept And the roots of this equation...
y=20x^2 - 282(x) + 1000
so that is again y= 20 multiplied by x squared minus 282 multiplied by x plus 1000
I know they are imaginary roots but i cannot for the life of me figure this out!! PLEASE HELP

find the intercept And the roots of this equation...
y=20x^2 - 282(x) + 1000
---
y-intercept: (0,1000)
-----
To find the x-intercepts use the quadratic formula:
20x^2 - 282x + 1000 = 0
10x^2 - 141x + 500 = 0
x = [141 +- sqrt(141^2 - 4*10*500)]/20
x = [141 +- sqrt(-119)]/20
x = [141 +- isqrt(119)]/20
