4.3-6 Quiz Flashcards
Radical
Any expression with a square root, cube root, etc.
Radical Symbol
√
First 20 Perfect Squares
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400
Simplifying Radicals
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
Quadratic Equations of The Square Root Form
ax^2+c=0
ax^2+c=0 Can Be Solved Using
Square root property
Steps to Solving Quadratics By Square Roots
- Isolate x^2
- Take the square root of both sides
- Simplify the radical, and write as list of x
Imaginary Numbers
Equations with no real solution defined to represent their solutions
Imaginary Unit
i
Defined as i=√-1
Pure Imaginary Number
bi
b represents real number
i is the imaginary part
Steps to Simplifying Negative Square Roots
- Rewrite √-a as √-1*a
- Break a down if it is not a perfect square
- Simplify the radical, recalling that √-1=i
Powers of “i”
Base four number system
i^1=i
i^2=(√-1)^2=-1
i^3=i^2i^1=(-1)(i)=-i
i^4=i^2i^2=(-1)(-1)=1
Memorize Powers of “i”
i=√-1
i^2=-1
Complex Number
Real number and a pure imaginary number that are not like terms and can not be combined
Standard Form of a Complex Number
a+bi
a is real number
i is pure imaginary number
