Given the solutions are -10i and +10i\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let it be the solutions for x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -10i or x = 10i\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x +10i)= 0 or (x -10i) =0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply both the equations we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x+10i)(x-10i) = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the foil method, we expand the above.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 +10ix -10ix +10i* -10i = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -100(i)^2 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Because (i)^2 = -1, we substitute above, we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -100(-1) = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 +100 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the quadratic equation which has the root -10i and 10i ia x^2 + 100 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
