Answer:

x=2i-2,\:x=-2i-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x = -8\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:completing\:the\:square}\\\\\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:for\:}a,\:2ax=4x:\quad a=2\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}a^2=2^2\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\\\x^2+4x+2^2=-8+2^2\\\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}-8+2^2:\quad -4\\x^2+4x+2^2=-4\\\\\mathrm{Complete\:the\:square}\\\left(x+2\right)^2=-4\\\\\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}\\

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+2=\sqrt{-4}:\quad x=2i-2\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x+2=-\sqrt{-4}:\quad x=-2i-2\\\\x=2i-2,\:x=-2i-2\\

How would you write 4n + 3 as a verbal expression
Tatiana [17]
<h3>4 times a number increased by 3.</h3>

When we have a number that appears

right before a variable, it means multiplication.

So 4n means the same thing as 4 times a number.

Remember, n is a variable which is just a

letter that represents any number.

Since we are adding 3 to 4n, we can say

4 times a number increased by 3.

So 4n + 3 can be written as 4 times a number increased by 3.
