z^2+8z+41=0

Solution for z^2+8z+41=0 equation:

Simplifying
z2 + 8z + 41 = 0

Reorder the terms:
41 + 8z + z2 = 0

Solving
41 + 8z + z2 = 0

Solving for variable 'z'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-41' to each side of the equation.
41 + 8z + -41 + z2 = 0 + -41

Reorder the terms:
41 + -41 + 8z + z2 = 0 + -41

Combine like terms: 41 + -41 = 0
0 + 8z + z2 = 0 + -41
8z + z2 = 0 + -41

Combine like terms: 0 + -41 = -41
8z + z2 = -41

The z term is 8z.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8z + 16 + z2 = -41 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + 8z + z2 = -41 + 16

Combine like terms: -41 + 16 = -25
16 + 8z + z2 = -25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + 4)(z + 4) = -25

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
