Question

What are the solutions to the equation x² + 16x + 14 = 0?

Answer 1

-8+5√2 and -8-5√2

Explanation:

Given the expression x² + 16x + 14 = 0

USing the general formulas

x = -16±√16²-4(14)/2

x = -16±√256-56/2

x = -16±√200/2

x = -16±10√2/2

x = -8±5√2

Hence the required solutions are -8+5√2 and -8-5√2
