Question

Find the solutions of x^2+30 = 0 please give detailed steps!

Answer 1

Answer:

x= i√30

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to go into this under the assumption that you've covered imaginary numbers based on the question. If I'm wrong then sorry about that.

Okay, so first you want to subtract 30 from both sides

x^2=-30

Then you take the square root of each side.

√(x^2)=√-30

x=√-30

Since it's impossible to square a number to get a negative number, you'll end up with an imaginary number. You have to rewrite x=√-30 to get rid of the negative sign under the radical. Rewriting this will also indicate that it's an imaginary number.

Final answer: x = i√30
