Given that f(x) = 19x2 + 152, solve the equation f(x) = 0
x = ±2isquare root of 2


x = ±2isquare root of 3


x = ±3isquare root of 2


x = ±4isquare root of 3

Answer :

Option A

The solution is:

[tex]x = \pm 2i \sqrt{2}[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]f(x) = 19x^2+152[/tex]

We have to solve the equation f(x) = 0

Let f(x) = 0

[tex]0=19x^2+152[/tex]

Solve the above equation

[tex]19x^2 + 152 = 0[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}152\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\19x^2+152-152=0-152\\\\Simplify\ the\ above\ equation\\\\19x^2 = -152\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}19\\\\\frac{19x^2}{19} = \frac{-152}{19}\\\\x^2 = -8[/tex]

Take square root on both sides

[tex]x = \pm \sqrt{-8}\\\\x = \pm \sqrt{-1}\sqrt{8}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:imaginary\:number\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\x = \pm i\sqrt{8}\\\\x = \pm i \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2}\\\\x = \pm 2i\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Thus the solution is found
