Domain - The Complex Number System
Cluster - Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations.
[AII.N-CN.C.7] - Solve quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.
- Coefficient
Any of the factors of a product considered in relation to a specific factor. - Complex number
A number that can be written as the sum or difference of a real number and an imaginary number. - Quadratic equation
An equation that includes only second degree polynomials. Some examples are y = 3x2 – 5x2 + 1, x2 + 5xy + y2 = 1, and 1.6a2 +5.9a – 3.14 = 0. - Real number
A number from the set of numbers consisting of all rational and all irrational numbers.
[AI.A-REI.B.4.b] -
Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the solutions of a quadratic equation results in non-real solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.
[AII.N-CN.A.1] -
Know there is a complex number i such that i2 = −1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with x-a and b real.
[AII.N-CN.A.2] -
Use the relation i2 = –1 and the Commutative, Associative, and Distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
[PC.N-CN.C.9] -
(+) Know the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; show that it is true for quadratic polynomials.
