I have to solve this equation $5z^2+6z+2=0$ where $z$ is a complex number.. I tried writing $z=\alpha+\beta i$ but still nothing..I tried finding the roots but the discriminant is negative $= 36-4\cdot 5 \cdot 2 =-4$ what do I do?
Math question please ? Complex numbers?

4The discriminant is negative --- yes, that's the first idea of complex numbers, they let you take the square root of a negative number! – 2012-12-09
