l=i l=-i
The equation is now solved.
l^{2}+1=0
Add 1 to both sides.
l=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4}}{2}
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}.
l=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4}}{2}
Square 0.
l=\frac{0±2i}{2}
Take the square root of -4.
l=i
Now solve the equation l=\frac{0±2i}{2} when ± is plus.
l=-i
Now solve the equation l=\frac{0±2i}{2} when ± is minus.
l=i l=-i
The equation is now solved.
