Study Notes
Solving Systems of Equations with Quadratic and Linear Equations
- To solve a system of two equations, one linear and one quadratic, we can use a version of the substitution method.
- The linear equation is in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + d, where m is the slope and d is the y-intercept of the line.
- The quadratic equation is in the standard form: y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0.
- Substitute the expression for y from the linear equation into the quadratic equation: ax^2 + bx + c = mx + d.
- Rewrite the new quadratic equation in standard form: 0 = ax^2 + (b - m)x + (c - d).
- Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula to find the x-coordinates of the points of intersection.
- The corresponding y-coordinates can be found using the linear equation.
Imaginary Numbers
- Imaginary numbers are extensions of the real numbers, just like rational numbers (fractions) are an extension of the integers.
- The term 'imaginary number' was coined in the 17th century as a derogatory term, but now it means a complex number with a real part equal to 0.
- An imaginary number is in the form bi, where i is the imaginary unit and b is a real number.
- The Real Numbers did not have a name before the 17th century.
