Solve my equation Encarta!!!
while my guitar gently weeps says: solve x=x^2+2 Encarta® Instant Answers says: Equation Solver: Let's solve the quadratic equation: x = x^2+2 First we need to put the equation in the form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0 For this, we set the equation to equal 0, and arrange the terms from the highest exponent to the lowest: -x^2+x-2 = 0 We have: a=-1 b=1 c=-2 We can now apply the quadratic formula: x = ( -b ± √(b²-4ac) ) / 2a We find two solutions (in the set of complex numbers): x=0.5 + -1.3228756555323i or x=0.5 - -1.3228756555323i This stuff is just great!!! # posted by masquerader @ 12:40 ::
