find the complex solution of x^2+2=2x
X^2-2X+2=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+-2%5E2-4%2A1%2A2+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28+4-8+%29%29%2F%282%29+
x+=+%282+%2B-+sqrt%28-4%29%29%2F%282%29+
x+=+%281+%2B-+sqrt%28+-1+%29%29%2F%281%29+
HENCE X= 1+i AND 1-i
