The equation you provided is:

$x^2 + i2\sqrt{2} - 1 = 0$

It appears that you have a complex constant term here. Let me first rewrite this equation in a more familiar form to analyze it:

$x^2 = 1 - i2\sqrt{2}$

Now, we need to solve for $x$ by taking the square root of both sides. To do this, let's express $1 - i2\sqrt{2}$ in polar form, which makes it easier to find its square root.

1. Convert $1 - i2\sqrt{2}$ to polar form.

   • The magnitude $r$ is: $r = \sqrt{1^2 + (2\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 8} = \sqrt{9} = 3$
   • The argument $\theta$ is: $\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{-2\sqrt{2}}{1}\right) = \arctan(-2\sqrt{2})$ Calculating this gives an angle in the fourth quadrant.

2. Find the square root of $r \cdot e^{i\theta}$.

   If you want, I can continue with the polar form calculations and find the solutions for $x$.
