Solve the following quadratic equations:


Given = 0


Recall that the roots of quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0, are given by



Here, a = 1, and






By substituting i2 = –1 in the above equation, we get





We can write



[ i2 = –1]



[ (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2]


By using the result, we get






[ i2 = –1]



Thus, the roots of the given equation are and.
