Answer:

Correct choice: C.
x=\pm√(10)\mathbf{i}

Explanation:

The quadratic equation to solve is:


x^2+10=0

Since this equation is incomplete, we can solve it without using the quadratic solver formula.

Subtracting 10:


x^2=-10

Taking square root:


x=\pm√(-10)

Recall the square root of a negative number leads to imaginary solutions where the Unit Imaginary Number (i) is used, where:


\mathbf{i}=√(-1)

The solutions to the equation are:


x=\pm√(10)\mathbf{i}

Correct choice: C.
x=\pm√(10)\mathbf{i}
