Question
x2+18
Find the roots
x1=−32×i,x2=32×i
Alternative Form
x1≈−4.242641i,x2≈4.242641i
Evaluate
x2+18
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x2+18=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2=0−18
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2=−18
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±−18
