So far we have been solving by factoring. Here's something new!
You can solve an equation in the form ax2 = c by finding square roots.
Example #1: Solve 5x2 ­ 180 = 0 by finding square roots. 5x2 ­ 180 = 0
5x2 = 180 x2 = 36
x = ±6

Some quadratic equations have solutions that are complex numbers.
Example #3: Solve 4x2 + 100 = 0 by finding complex solutions. 4x2 + 100 = 0
4x2 = ­100 x2 = ­25
x = ±√­25
What should we do now?? We are trying to take the square root of a negative number!
x = ±5i

The imaginary number i is defined as the number whose square is -1.
i2 = -1 so i = √-1
An imaginary number is any number of the form a + bi,
where a and b are real numbers, and b ± 0.
Look at the new version...

Imaginary numbers and real numbers make up the set of complex numbers.
Example #6: Write the complex numbers in the form a + bi.
a. √­9 + 6 b. √­18 + 7
3i + 6
3i√2 + 7
6 + 3i

You can apply the operations of real numbers to complex numbers.
If the sum of two complex numbers is 0,
then each number is the opposite, or additive inverse, of the other.
Example #7: Find the additive inverse of ­2 + 5i.
a. ­2 + 5i
b. ­5i
c. 4 ­ 3i
­(­2 + 5i)
5i
­4 + 3i
2 ­ 5i

To add or subtract complex numbers, combine the real parts and the
imaginary parts separately.
Example #8: Simplify the expression.
a. (5 + 7i) + (­2 + 6i)
b. (8 + 3i) ­ (2 + 4i)
= 5 + 7i + (­2) + 6i
= 8 + 3i ­ 2 ­ 4i
= 3 + 13i
c. (4 ­ 6i) + 3i
= 6 ­ i
d. 7 ­ (3 ­ 2i)
= 4 ­ 6i + 3i
= 7 ­ 3 + 2i
= 4 ­ 3i
= 4 + 2i

For two imaginary numbers bi and ci, (bi)(ci) = bc(-1) = -bc.
You can multiply two complex numbers of the form a + bi
by using the procedure for multiplying binomials (FOIL).
Example #9: Multiply complex numbers.
a. (5i)(­4i) b. (2 + 3i)(­3 + 5i)
= ­6 + 10i ­ 9i + 15i2
= ­20i2
= ­6 + i ­ 15
= ­20(­1)
= ­21 + i
= 20

Example #10: Simplify each expression.
a. (12i)(7i) b. (4 ­ 9i)(4 + 3i)
= 16 + 12i ­ 36i ­ 27i2
= 84i2
= 16 ­ 24i + 27
= 84(­1)
= 43 ­ 24i
= ­84
