Question 861516: X^2-10x+29=0
Hi! I have to use the quadratic formula to solve this equation. I am working with the site cool math for a homework assignment. I have to follow example problems and then solve similar problems. The section I am currently working on is teaching about how to use the imaginary number "i" to solve when you get a negative number under the radical. When I attempted this problem, I got an answer but I did not get a negative under the radical. I believe I made a mistake please help!!

X^2-10x+29=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%2810+%2B-+sqrt%28+-16%29%29%2F%282%29+
x = 5 ± 2i
