SOLVE THE QUADRATIC EQUATION

Answer:


x = 1 + √(7) i \\ x = 1 - √(7) i

Step-by-step explanation:


x {}^(2) - 2x + 8 = 0


(x - 1) {}^(2) + 8 - 1 {}^(2) = 0


(x - 1) {}^(2) = 8 - 1 {}^(2) = 0


(x - 1) {}^(2) = - 8 + 1 {}^(2)


(x - 1) {}^(2) = - 8 + 1


(x - 1) {}^(2) = - 7

x - 1 = ± √-7

x = ±√7i + 1


x = 1 + √(7) i \\ x = 1 - √(7) i
