1) The equation x^2+9=0 can be written as x^2=-9. We then have x = sqrt(-9) or x = -sqrt(9), so x = 3i or x = -3i. The multiplicity of each root is 1, and 3i has positive imaginary part (3), while the other one has negativeimaginary part (-3). In general, the imaginary part of a complex number a+bi is b, the coefficient at the imaginary unit i.

2) Solving x^2+2x+2=0 as a quadratic equation, we get
D = (2)^2 - 4*1*2 = 4-8 = -4
x1 = [(-2)+sqrt(-4)]/2 = (-2+2i)/2 = -1+i
x2 = [(-2)-sqrt(-4)]/2 = (-2+2i)/2 = ...
