Factoring math/

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to factor this, you have to use the quadratic formula to do so.

For us, it looks like this:

which simplifies to

Since it breaks every mathematical rule to have a negative number under an even index radical, we have to deal with that using the imaginary "i".  You should know at this point that

so we will do a rewrite on that equation above:

which simplifies further to

This is the answer but we can separate it into its proper standard form which is

and
