Question

I need the answer pls help pls

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

x² - 8x + 97 = 0

the general form to solve such quadratic equations is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -8

c = 97

so, we get

x = (8 ± sqrt((-8)² - 4×1×97))/(2×1) =

= (8 ± sqrt(64 - 388))/2 = (8 ± sqrt(-324))/2 =

= (8 ± sqrt(324×-1))/2 = (8 ± 18×i)/2 = 4 ± 9i
