Question

Solve for x in the equation x squared 14 x 17 = negative 96.

Answer 1

The value of x in the given quadratic equation is determined as -7 ± 8i.

Solution of the quadratic equation

The solutiion to the linear equation is determined as follows;

x² + 14x + 17 = -96

x² + 14x + 17 + 96 = 0

x² + 14x + 113 = 0

solve the equation using formula method;

a = 1, b = 14, c = 113

$x = \frac{-b \ \ \pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\x = \frac{- 14\ \ \pm\sqrt{(14)^2 - 4(1\times 113)} }{2(1)} \\\\x = \frac{- 14\ \ \pm\sqrt{-256} }{2}\\\\x = \frac{- 14\ \ \pm\sqrt{256} \times \sqrt{-1} }{2}\\\\x = \frac{-14 \ \ \pm 16 \times i}{2} \\\\x = -7 \pm 8i$

Thus, the value of x in the given quadratic equation is determined as -7 ± 8i.
