Use the square root property to solve the equation. If possible, simplify radicals or rationalize denominators. Express complex solutions in a+bi form

Equation:







Solution:




sqrt%28%28x-1%29%5E2%29=sqrt%28-2%29%0D%0A 

%0D%0Aabs%28x-1%29=sqrt%282%29i%0D%0A 
x-1=sqrt%282%29i 
or 
x-1=-sqrt%282%29i 

x=1%2B-+sqrt%282%29i
