Answer

$x= \pm\frac{3}{2}i$

Work Step by Step

Solve for $x$: $4x^{2}+9=0$ $4x^{2}=-9$ $x^{2}=-\displaystyle \frac{9}{4} $ $x=\displaystyle \pm\sqrt{-\frac{9}{4}}$ $=\displaystyle \pm\sqrt{(-1)\times \frac{9}{4}}$ As we know $\sqrt{-1}=i$, then $=\pm\sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}i$ $=\pm\frac{3}{2}i$ Hence, $x= \pm\frac{3}{2}i$
