Q

Simplifying Radicals

A

Perfect Squares - Take the square root if the number
Non-Perfect Squares - Break the radical down using the largest perfect square, take the sqaure root of the perfect square, and leave the leftover under the radical symbol
Both - If there is a coefficient outside the radical, multiply this with any number you take out

Q

Complex Conjugates

A

Two complex numbers in the form a+bi and a-bi
(a+bi)(a-bi)=a^2+b^2

17
Q

Product of Two Conjugates

A

Always a real number

18
Q

Conjugates

A

(a+b)(a-b)

19
Q

Dividing Complex Numbers

A

Denominator is a monomial - Multiply top and bottom by “i”
Denominator is a binomial - Multiply top and bottom by the conjugate
Careful - “i” can not be in the denominator of a complex number

20
Q

Completing the Square

A

Taking any quadratic equation, creating a perfect square trinomial, and solving it in a similar way

21
Q

Steps to Completing the Square

A
  1. Rewrite as ax^2+bx=c
  2. Divide both sides by “a” so it becomes x^2+bx=c
  3. Complete the square by taking half of b, square it, and adding it to both sides of the equation
  4. Factor the perfect square trinomial
  5. Take the square root of both sides, creating two cases with a negative and positive value
  6. Solve both equations, simplifying all irrational and complex answers
22
Q

A

ax^2+bx=c
(b/2)^2
