Question 634618: I know that the solutions of this problem are imaginary, but I don't think I solved it right. The problem is x^2+7x+14 and I believe the imaginary solutions are -7+iradical-7/2 and -7-iradical-7/2. Are these right?

Hi,

Re TY, 

as to+sqrt%28-7%29+=+sqrt%28-1%2A7%29+=+sqrt%28i%5E2%2A7%29+=+i%2Asqrt%287%29 as i^2 = -1

x^2+7x+14 = 0

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+

x+=+%28-7+%2B-+sqrt%28+-7+%29%29%2F%282%29+

x+=+%28-7+%2B-+i%2Asqrt%28+7+%29%29%2F%282%29+  |Note 2 is the denominator for both terms

x+=+-7%2F2+%2B-+i%2Asqrt%28+7+%29%2F2+
