Question

Solve for x in the equation x²-12x+59=0

Answer 1

Third option

Explanation:

just took the quiz!

Answer 2

`{x}^(2) - 12x + 59 = 0 \\ {x}^(2) - 12x + 36 + 23 = 0 \\ {x}^(2) - 12x + 36 = - 23 \\ {(x - 6)}^(2) = - 23 \\ x - 6 = + - √( - 23) = + - i √(23) \\ x = 6 + - i √(23)`

mean

`x = 6 + i √(23)`

or

`x = 6 - i √(23)`
