Question

What are the solutions to the equation x2+4x+5=0

Answer 1

x = 5 and x = -1

Step-by-step explanation: x^2 -4x - 5 = 0

consider the form x^2+bx+c. Find a pair of integers whose product is C and whose sum is b. In this case c is -5 and b is -4

if any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0 the entire expression will be equal to 0

x-5 = 0 x = 5

x+1 = 0 x = -1

Answer 2

The two solutions aren’t real, they both include i.

x= -2+i, -2-i.
