3i

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3x^2 + 27 = 0 \), we first simplify it:

1. Subtract 27 from both sides:
\[
3x^2 = -27
\]

2. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
x^2 = -9
\]

3. Now, take the square root of both sides:
\[
x = \pm \sqrt{-9}
\]

4. Since \(\sqrt{-1} = i\) and \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), we get:
\[
x = \pm 3i
\]

Thus, the solutions of the equation \( 3x^2 + 27 = 0 \) are \( 3i \) and \( -3i \).

From the responses provided, the correct answers are:
- \( -3i \)
- \( 3i \)
