You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"5%28x%5E2%29\"+12 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28x%5E2%29\" = -12
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E2%29\" = -12/5
\n" ); document.write( "square root both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%28-12%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt+%28i%5E2%2A4%2A3%2F5%29\" ( since \"i%5E2+=+-1\")
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2i\"sqrt%283%2F5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can see the source of the solution to know how to insert sqrt sign in your equation .
