Answer:
d) 4 ± 5i
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have to use the quadratic formula.
x =
In the given equation x^2 - 8x + 41 = 0, a =1, b = -8 and c = 41
Now plug in the given values in the above formula, we get
x =
Simplifying the above, we get
x =
x =
[√-100 = √-1 *√100 = i*10 = 10i] because the value of √-1 = i]
x = (8 ± 10i )/2
Now dividing by 2, we get
x = 4 ± 5i
The answer is d) 4 ± 5i
Hope you will understand the concept.
