Find all real solutions of the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If there is no real solution, enter NO REAL SOLUTION.)
7x2 + 2x + 2 = 0
Solution
7x^2+2x+2 = 0
applying quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation
a = 7 , b = 2 , c = 2
quadratic formula is
x = { -b + - sqrt (b^2-4ac) } / 2a
plugging the values in the formula we get
x = { - 2 + - sqrt ( 4 - 56 ) } / 14
x = {-2 + - sqrt (-52) } 14
on solving we get
x = {-1 + - sqrt 13 i } / 7
two solutions are
x1 = { -1 + sqrt 13 i ) / 7
x2 = { -1 - sqrt 13 i ) / 7
there are no real solutions, only imaginary solutions
