    Study Notes

    Solving Quadratic Equations

    • Factoring is a method to solve for x when the equation is in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
    • Factoring involves finding two numbers that multiply to c and add to b
    • For example, 2x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 factors to (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
    • The solutions are x = 2 and x = 3

    Simplifying Complex Numbers

    • A complex number is made up of a real part and an imaginary part
    • The imaginary unit, i, is defined as the square root of -1
    • To simplify complex expressions, combine real and imaginary terms separately
    • For example, (7+i) - (-2+8i) simplifies to 9 - 7i

    Real Number Properties

    • The associative property of multiplication states that the grouping of factors does not affect the product
    • For example, ((1-i) * 8i) * -2i = (1-i) * (8i * -2i)
    • The additive identity of a number is zero, meaning adding zero to any number results in the same number
    • For example, 5 + 2i + 0 = 5 + 2i

    Complex Number Properties

    • The product of two complex numbers is not always a real number, for example (1+i)(1-i) = 2
    • The square of an irrational number is not always rational, for example (√2)^2 = 2
    • The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational
    • The sum of a complex number and its conjugate is always equal to a real number, for example (2+3i)+(2-3i)=4

    Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square

    • To solve by completing the square, manipulate the equation to have the form (x+a)^2 = b
    • Move the constant term to the right side of the equation
    • Take half of the coefficient of the x term, square it, and add it to both sides
    • Take the square root of both sides and solve for x
    • For example, x^2 + 10x + 7 = 0 can be rearranged to (x+5)^2 = 18 and solved for x

    Sets

    • The natural numbers (N) are positive integers 1, 2, 3, ...
    • The rational numbers (Q) can be expressed as a fraction of two integers
    • The real numbers (R) include all rational and irrational numbers
    • The complex numbers (C) include all real and imaginary numbers

    Closure Property

    • A set is closed under an operation if the operation on any two elements of the set results in an element within the same set
    • For example, the set of real numbers is closed under addition because adding two real numbers always results in another real number
    • The set of natural numbers is not closed under subtraction because subtracting two natural numbers may result in a negative number, which is not a natural number
    • The set of complex numbers are closed under subtraction and multiplication.
