Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:
x^2 + 16 = 0
x^2 = -16
The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.
Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:
±√-16 = ±4i
Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:
(x + 4i)(x - 4i)
If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.

2x2 + -8x + -90 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0
Solving
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-45 + -4x + x2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(9 + -1x)) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1:
Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0
Solving
-5 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 5
-1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms:
0 + 5 = 5
-1x = 5
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
Subproblem 2:
Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0
Solving
9 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms:
9 + -9 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -9
-1x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms:
0 + -9 = -9
-1x = -9
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
Solution
x = {-5, 9}</span>
