Algebra I

  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Quadratic Formula:
    x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

Algebra II

  • Imaginary Numbers: √-1 = i

Explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

x² + 20 = 0

Step 2: Identify Variables

a = 1

b = 0

c = 20

Step 3: Find roots x

  1. Substitute:
    x=(-0\pm√(0^2-4(1)(20)) )/(2(1))
  2. Exponents:
    x=(-0\pm√(0-4(1)(20)) )/(2(1))
  3. Multiply:
    x=(-0\pm√(0-80) )/(2)
  4. Subtract:
    x=(\pm√(-80) )/(2)
  5. Factor:
    x=(\pm√(-1) √(80) )/(2)
  6. Simplify:
    x=(\pm4i√(5) )/(2)
  7. Divide:
    x=\pm2i√(5)
