1. The letter i referes to the imaginary numbers in mathematics.

2.i.i=-1

3.i.i.i=-i

As


i=\sqrt[\square]{-1}

Thus multiplying i two times gives us -i.

4. The given equation:


2x^2-22=-7x

Rearranging,


2x^2+7x-22=0

Solving,


2x^2+11x-4x-22=0
(2x+11)(x-2)=0

Solving,


x=-(11)/(2),2

The siolution is x=-11/2,2
