Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 4x + 10?

2 + i times the square root of 6
−2 + i times the square root of 24
−2 + i times the square root of 6
2 + i times the square root of 24

x^2+4x+10=0

x^2+4x=-10

x^2+4x+4=-6

(x+2)^2=-6

x+2=±i√6

x=-2±i√6

So the correct answer is the third one down from the top.

Answer:

[tex]x=2+-i \sqrt{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2 + 4x + 10[/tex]

To find out the solution we set the expression =0 and solve for x

[tex]x^2 + 4x + 10=0[/tex]

Apply quadratic formula to solve for x

[tex]x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

a=1, b=4, c=10 plug in the values in the formula

[tex]x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(10)}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{-24}}{2(1)}[/tex]

The value of square root (-1) is 'i'

[tex]x=\frac{-4+-2i\sqrt{6}}{2}[/tex]

Divide each term by 2

[tex]x=2+-i\sqrt{6}[/tex]
