You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember $\"i=sqrt%28-1%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So $\"+sqrt%28-50%29+-+sqrt%28-8%29=3i%2Asqrt%282%29\"$ which is now in $\"a%2Bbi\"$ form where $\"a=0\"$ and $\"b=3%2Asqrt%282%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
