Find the Roots (Zeros) x^2+61=-10x

$x^{2} + 61 = - 10 x$

Add $10 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} + 61 + 10 x = 0$

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.

$\frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4 (a c)}}{2 a}$

Substitute the values $a = 1$ , $b = 10$ , and $c = 61$ into the quadratic formula and solve for $x$ .

$\frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{10^{2} - 4 \cdot (1 \cdot 61)}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Simplify.

Simplify the numerator.

Raise $10$ to the power of $2$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 61}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Multiply $- 4$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 4 \cdot 61}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Multiply $- 4$ by $61$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 244}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Subtract $244$ from $100$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{- 144}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite $- 144$ as $- 1 (144)$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{- 1 \cdot 144}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1 (144)}$ as $\sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{144}$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm \sqrt{- 1} \cdot \sqrt{144}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm i \cdot \sqrt{144}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite $144$ as $12^{2}$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm i \cdot \sqrt{12^{2}}}{2 \cdot 1}$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm i \cdot 12}{2 \cdot 1}$

Move $12$ to the left of $i$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm 12 i}{2 \cdot 1}$

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 10 \pm 12 i}{2}$

Simplify $\frac{- 10 \pm 12 i}{2}$ .

$x = - 5 \pm 6 i$
