I put in sqrt(-1)+7 to get Y, the -1 is X. When I did this I got 7+1i. That should not be the answer because I am trying to plot these points. Why is this and what is the real answer

By definition......sqrt (-1)  = i   

 

So.....

 

You should have gotten    i + 7     as a result

 

Note......if this is a root of a quadratic, realize that not all quadratics have "real" roots that can plotted in the "real" plane

 

P.S. - If this one root....then 7 + i     would be another

 

 

cool cool cool
