Math Problem Statement

How about x² -10 +25=0

Solution

The equation given is:

x210+25=0x^2 - 10 + 25 = 0

Let's simplify it step by step:

  1. Combine constants 10-10 and 2525:

x2+15=0x^2 + 15 = 0

  1. To solve for xx, subtract 1515 from both sides:

x2=15x^2 = -15

  1. Since x2=15x^2 = -15, there is no real solution because the square of a real number cannot be negative. However, we can express the solution using imaginary numbers.

  2. Take the square root of both sides:

x=±15=±15ix = \pm \sqrt{-15} = \pm \sqrt{15}i

Thus, the solutions are:

x=±15ix = \pm \sqrt{15}i
