Answer: The required value of m is


m=(5+√(63)i)/(4),~~~~~(5-√(63)i)/(4).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the vale of m if :


m^2-(5)/(2)m=-(11)/(2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

The given equation is a quadratic one, so we will be using the formula for the solution of a quadratic equation
ax^2+bx+c=0,~a\\eq 0 as follows :


x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a).

From equation (i), we have


m^2-(5)/(2)m=-(11)/(2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2m^2-5m+11=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=(-(-5)\pm√((-5)^2-4*2*11))/(2*2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=(5\pm√(25-88))/(4)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=(5\pm√(-63))/(4)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=(5\pm√(63)i)/(4).

Thus, the required value of m is


m=(5+√(63)i)/(4),~~~~~(5-√(63)i)/(4).
