Quadratic Functions and Their Properties

Quadratic functions can be transformed by shifting (right, left, up, down) and reflecting over the axis.
Standard form for a quadratic function is ( y = ax^2 + bx + c ).
Vertex form is given by ( y = a(x - h)^2 + k ), where (h, k) is the vertex and a indicates direction (up or down).

Vertex and Axis of Symmetry

The vertex of a quadratic function can be found using the formula ( h = -\frac{b}{2a} ).
The axis of symmetry is a vertical line given by ( x = h ).
For ( y = ax^2 + bx + c ), if ( a < 0 ), the parabola opens downward; if ( a > 0 ), it opens upward.

Solving Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations can be solved by:
- Factoring
- Completing the square
- Using the quadratic formula ( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} )
Roots can also be deduced from the factored form ( (x - r_1)(x - r_2) = 0 ) where ( r_1 ) and ( r_2 ) are the roots.

Complex Numbers

Simplifying expressions involving imaginary numbers must maintain the form of ( a + bi ).
The imaginary unit ( i ) is defined as ( i^2 = -1 ).
Multiplying complex numbers involves the distributive property, treating ( i ) as a variable.

Simplification Strategies

To simplify expressions, factor common terms when possible.
Use conjugates for division to eliminate imaginary parts in the denominator.
Combine like terms and ensure answers are presented in standard form ( a + bi ).

Practice Problems

Problems include determining the vertex and axis of symmetry, solving quadratics by various methods, and working with complex numbers through simplification and multiplication.
Examples often involve equations that need to be factored or reduced, emphasizing the importance of showing work for full understanding.
