What are the roots of the equation 16x² + 16x + 5 = 0 in simplest a + bi form?

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the quadratic formula :

roots =  [-16 +/-√(16^2 - 4*16*5)] / (2*16)

= -0.5 +/- √(-64) /32

= -0.5 +/- 8i/32

= -0.5 + 0.25i and -0.5 - 0.25i

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.
