z2 + 4z – 7 = 0

Open in App
Solution

Given: z2 + 4z – 7 = 0
=> z2 + 4z = 7 … (1)
We make L.H.S. a perfect square by using
Third term =12coefficient of z2=12×42=22=4
On adding 4 to both sides of equation (1), we get:
z2 + 4z + 4 = 7 + 4
=> z2 + 2 × z × 2 + (2)2 = 11
=> (z + 2)2 = (11)2
On taking square root of both sides, we get:
z + 2 = ±11

=> z = - 2±11
Thus, z = -2+11 ,-2-11
