    2. @woona b² -4(a)(c) gave a negative result, so that wouldnt have an answer

      1. @mushi I was trying to find one without writing that down, but getting to the same result xD

      2. @mushi @woona unless, of course, you're studying complex numbers, but i wont try to solve this to complex numbers because i have not used them forever

      3. @mushi How so? Isn't it (1^2)-4(2)(-11) = 1 + 88 = 89? Or am I mistaking here? (I am tired, so maybe I am)

        1. @omni you're mistaken, "-11" is on the other side of the "=" so it would be positive

          1. @mushi Ah, of course. I knew I was forgetting something.

    4. @woona Try imaginary numbers?

      Sunday, 16-Sep-12 22:26:40 UTC from web
    5. @woona I can *almost*c figure that out... sorry :c

    6. @woona add 11 to both sides to get x^2+x+11=0 then use the quadratic formula http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation#Quadratic_formula

      1. @ecmc adn then he will get an answer that involve imaginary numbers
