2. Use the relation i^2 = –1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties

to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers. 1. y = 𝑥 2 + 4x + 5

−4 ± √4 2 −4(1)(5)
2. x =
2(1)

−4 ± √16−20
3. x =
Factoring Answer: 2
−4 ± √−4
4. x =
2
−𝑏 ± √𝑏2 −4𝑎𝑐
Quadratic Formula: x = −4 ± 2𝑖
2𝑎 5. x =
2
6. x = −2 + 2𝑖
x = −2 − 2𝑖

1. Please apply the quadratic formula to the following equation: y = 𝑥 2 + 4x + 5

1.
2. What is the value of i?
A. Square Root of -1
3. Write the number "7" as a complex number:
A. (7+0i)
4. What is i^2?
A. -1
5. Evaluate the following: (3)(2+5i)
A. (6+15i)
6. Evaluate the following: (1+2i)(1+2i)
A. (-3+4i)
7. Simplify: i^3
A. -i
8. Simplify: i^32
A. 1
 COMPLEX NUMBERS

When a function opens upward and does not cross the x-axis, said

function will not produce real roots, but instead will produce

imaginary roots. These imaginary roots will be complex numbers.

Please factor the following equation using QR 1 using the

−𝑏 ± √𝑏2 −4𝑎𝑐
Quadratic Formula: x = Note: (y = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐)
2𝑎

−𝑏 ± √𝑏2 −4𝑎𝑐
x==
2𝑎

Solve as far as possible:

QR 1

−4 ± √−4
So you probably got to the point x =
2

How do you Square Root a Negative Number?

√−4 2√−1

√4 • √−1 √−1 = 𝒊

SO…
2 • √−1
2√−1 = 0 + 2𝑖

2√−1
IMAGINARY NUMBERS!
Since there is no way to produce real numbers when square rooting a negative number, we use
2√−1 to represent the imaginary and real parts of a number
complex numbers
