Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Find the roots of x=(-x-2(-x^2-4x^2)^1/2)/(2x). Combining like terms -x^2 and -4x^2. Factor the polynomial -x-2\sqrt{-5x^2} by it's greatest common factor (GCF): -1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x. Multiply both sides of the equation by -1.

Final Answer

$x=\frac{-1+2\sqrt{5}i}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{2}\left(1+2\sqrt{5}i\right)$
