Verified Answer :

Answer:

x equals quantity of negative \(2\) plus or minus \(2i\)i square root of \(2\) all over \(3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\(-3x^{2} -4x-4=0\)

Rewrite (Multiply by \(-1\) both sides)

\(3x^{2}+4x+4=0\)

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form \(ax^{2} +bx+c=0\) is equal to

\(x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}\)

in this problem we have

\(3x^{2}+4x+4=0\)

so

\(a=3\\b=4\\c=4\)

substitute

\(x=\frac{-4(+/-)\sqrt{4^{2}-4(3)(4)}} {2(3)}\)


\(x=\frac{-4(+/-)\sqrt{-32}} {6}\)

remember that

\(i=\sqrt{-1}\)

\(x=\frac{-4(+/-)4i\sqrt{2}} {6}\)

Simplify

\(x=\frac{-2(+/-)2i\sqrt{2}} {3}\)

\(x1=\frac{-2(+)2i\sqrt{2}} {3}\)

\(x2=\frac{-2(-)2i\sqrt{2}} {3}\)
