4-1.Complex numbers
easy
Solve $x^{2}+x+1=0$
A
$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3} i}{2}$
B
$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3} i}{2}$
C
$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3} i}{2}$
D
$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3} i}{2}$
Solution
Here, $b^{2}-4 a c=1^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 1=1-4=-3$
Therefore, the solutions are given by $x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-3}}{2 \times 1}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3} i}{2}$
