Solve 6x^2=-6

$$6 x ^ { 2 } = - 6$$

Solve for x (complex solution)

$$x=-i$$

$$x=i$$

Steps by Finding Square Root

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x^{2}=\frac{-6}{6}$$

Divide -6 by 6 to get -1.

$$x^{2}=-1$$

The equation is now solved.

$$x=i x=-i$$

Steps Using the Quadratic Formula

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x^{2}=\frac{-6}{6}$$

Divide -6 by 6 to get -1.

$$x^{2}=-1$$

Add 1 to both sides.

$$x^{2}+1=0$$

This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 1 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4}}{2}$$

Square 0.

$$x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4}}{2}$$

Take the square root of -4.

$$x=\frac{0±2i}{2}$$

Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2i}{2} when ± is plus.

$$x=i$$

Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±2i}{2} when ± is minus.

$$x=-i$$

The equation is now solved.

$$x=i x=-i$$
