Question

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. The roots of an equation are x = -1 ± i. The equation is x2 + + 2 = 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the roots of an equation are x = -1 ± i, it means that the factorized form of that equation is: (x + 1 + i)(x+ 1 - i) = 0.

Using the distributive property, we have:

(x + 1 + i)(x+ 1 - i) = x^2 + x - ix + x + 1 - i + ix + i + 1

Combining like-terms and simplifying:

⇒ x^2 + x + x + 1   + 1 = x^2 + 2x + 2 = 0

Therefore, the stament is correct. If the roots of an equation are x = -1 ± i, then the equation is: x^2 + 2x + 2 = 0.
