Solving equation x2+8x=-15 by completing square,find third term

Answer»

Equation : x² + 8X = - 15


Adding the half of coefficient of ' X ' on both sides we GET,


x² + 8x + 4 = - 15 + 4


=> ( x + 4 )² = - 11


Taking root on both sides we get,


=> x + 4 = √ - 11


√ - 11 is not possible as it is an unreal NUMBER . Hence the equation cannot be solved further.


Hence the equation will have imaginary roots.
