Answered by maham237 @



Start with

x2 +14x + 17 = -96

set equal to 0

x2 +14x + 113 = 0

use quadratic formula

= (-14 +/- sqrt(196 - 4(1)113)) // 2

=( -14 +/- 16i ) // 2)

= -7 +/- 8i

Step - start by setting the equation equal to 0

Use quadratic formula

Note the discriminant is negative therefore answer is a complex number.
Simplify
