Math Problem Statement

3x²+5-2=0

Solution

To solve the quadratic equation 3x2+52=03x^2 + 5 - 2 = 0, we first simplify it:

3x2+3=03x^2 + 3 = 0

Now, subtract 3 from both sides:

3x2=33x^2 = -3

Next, divide both sides by 3:

x2=1x^2 = -1

Since x2=1x^2 = -1, take the square root of both sides:

x=±1x = \pm \sqrt{-1}

Since 1=i\sqrt{-1} = i (where ii is the imaginary unit), the solution is:

x=±ix = \pm i

Final Solution:

x=iorx=ix = i \quad \text{or} \quad x = -i
