How many and what type of solutions does the quadratic equation x^2+81=0 have?

Two real solutions
Two imaginary solutions
One real solution
One imaginary solution

Respuesta :

For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

[tex]x ^ 2 + 81 = 0[/tex]

We look for the solutions:

We subtract 81 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]x ^ 2 = -81[/tex]

We apply square root on both sides to eliminate the exponent:

[tex]x = \pm \sqrt {-81}\\x = \pm ((\sqrt {-1} * \sqrt {81})[/tex]

We have to:

[tex]\sqrt {81} = 9\\\sqrt {-1} = i[/tex]

So:

[tex]x_ {1} = + 9i\\x_ {2} = - 9i[/tex]
