You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"x%5E2+=+-100\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+sqrt%28-100%29\"$ or $\"x+=+-sqrt%28-100%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+10i\"$ or $\"x+=+-10i\"$ No number multiplied by itself will give you a negative number, so the solutions are complex. Same with the next problem.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x%5E2+=+-125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+=+-25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+sqrt%28-25%29\"$ and $\"x+=+-sqrt%28-25%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5i\"$ and $\"x+=+-5i\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Hint: $\"i+=+sqrt%28-1%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
