Solve the following

Question:

$x^{2}+1=0$

Solution:

Given: $x^{2}+1=0$

$x^{2}+1=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-1 i^{2}=0$

$\Rightarrow(x+i)(x-i)=0$   $\left[\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)=(a+b)(a-b)\right]$

$\Rightarrow(x+i)=0$ or $(x-i)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-i$ or $x=i$

Hence, the roots of the equation are $i$ and $-i$.
