We have i

By substituting 1 = –i

? x + 1 + i = 0 or x + 1 – i = 0
? x = –1 – i or x = –1 + i
? x = –1 ± i
Thus, the roots of the given equation are –1 ± i.
9. Question
Solve the following quadratics
5x
2
– 6x + 2 = 0
Answer
Given 5x
2
– 6x + 2 = 0
Recall that the roots of quadratic equation ax
2
+ bx + c = 0, where a ? 0, are given by
Here, a = 5, b = –6 and c = 2
We have i

= –1
By substituting –1 = i
2
in the above equation, we get
