Answer 1

From the quadratic equation formula

`\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=-(b)/(2a)\pm\frac{\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{where} \\ ax^2+bx+c=0 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, if x=-4+7i is a solution to the equation; then,

`-4+7i=-(b)/(2a)+\frac{\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}`

Thus, the remaining solution has to be

`-(b)/(2a)-\frac{\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=-4-7i`

The answer is that the other solution has to be -4-7i, option B
