Algebra.Com's Answer #533368 by rothauserc(4718)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The solution for w^2 = 49 is \n" ); document.write( "w = square root(49) \n" ); document.write( "w = 7 or -7 \n" ); document.write( "now solution for w^2 + 49 = 0 is \n" ); document.write( "subtract 49 from both sides of = \n" ); document.write( "w^2 = -49 \n" ); document.write( "w = square root(-49) \n" ); document.write( "w = 7 * square root(-1) \n" ); document.write( "w = -7 * square root(-1) \n" ); document.write( "now we write square root(-1) = i, therefore \n" ); document.write( "w = 7i or -7i (these are imaginary numbers) \n" ); document.write( "sheryl is not correct since we have different solutions for w^2=49 and w^2+49=0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
