Total: 52
x2 + 3x + 9 = 0
Solution:  
We have, x2 + 3x + 9 = 0
Comparing the given equation with the general form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
we get a = 1, b = 3, c = 9
∴ x =
−b±√b2−4ac
2a
=
−3±√(3)2−4×1×9
2.1
=
−3±√9−36
2

=
−3±√−27
2
=
−3±3√−3
2
=
−3±i(3√3)
2

∴ The roots of the given equation are
−3+i(3√3)
2
and
−3−i(3√3)
