Math Problem Statement

x ^ 2 - (3sqrt(2) + 2i) * x +6 sqrt 2 |=0

Solution

To solve the quadratic equation x2(32+2i)x+62=0x^2 - (3\sqrt{2} + 2i) \cdot x + 6\sqrt{2} = 0, we can use the quadratic formula:

x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

In this equation, a=1a = 1, b=(32+2i)b = -(3\sqrt{2} + 2i), and c=62c = 6\sqrt{2}.

  1. Calculate the discriminant: Δ=b24ac\Delta = b^2 - 4ac Δ=((32+2i))24(1)(62)\Delta = \left(-(3\sqrt{2} + 2i)\right)^2 - 4(1)(6\sqrt{2})

  2. Simplify b2b^2: b2=(32+2i)2=(32)2+2(32)(2i)+(2i)2b^2 = (3\sqrt{2} + 2i)^2 = (3\sqrt{2})^2 + 2(3\sqrt{2})(2i) + (2i)^2 =18+122i4=14+122i= 18 + 12\sqrt{2}i - 4 = 14 + 12\sqrt{2}i

  3. Simplify the discriminant: Δ=14+122i242\Delta = 14 + 12\sqrt{2}i - 24\sqrt{2} Δ=14242+122i\Delta = 14 - 24\sqrt{2} + 12\sqrt{2}i

  4. Find the roots using the quadratic formula: x=32+2i±14242+122i2x = \frac{3\sqrt{2} + 2i \pm \sqrt{14 - 24\sqrt{2} + 12\sqrt{2}i}}{2}

Since the discriminant is complex, solving for the roots involves further simplifying the expression under the square root.
