Calculate the indicated power of each of the following complex numbers. a. ( 3i ) b. ( 1 i ) 3 c. ( 1 3i ) 3 Calculating the square root of a complex number can be accomplished using straightforward algebraic techniques, but solving for higher roots or fractional roots requires the use of the mathematics that we will cover later. When solving for a square root of a complex number, we first set the square root equal to a general form of a complex number, then square both sides. By combining the real terms and combining the imaginary terms, we are able to form two equations and solve using substitution. For example: 4 3i a bi 4 3i a abi b i 4 3i (a b ) abi 4 a b and 3i abi 3 Solve for a: a b 3 Then substitute for a in the first equation: b 4 ( 3 b ) b 4 9 b 4b 16b 9 4b 4 4b 4 16b 9 0 b b , Carnegie Learning, Inc. 134 Chapter The Quadratic Formula, the Discriminant, and Solving Quadratic Equations and Inequalities

49 .6 Cases, Roots, and Graphs Solving Quadratic Inequalities Objectives In this lesson, you will: Solve quadratic inequalities using the case method. Solve quadratic inequalities using the roots method. Solve quadratic inequalities using the graphical method. Problem 1 The Case Method One method for solving quadratic inequalities is the case method. To use the case method, transform the inequality so that one side is zero, factor the quadratic expression, and examine the possible cases that satisfy the inequality. 1. If the product of two numbers is equal to zero, what do you know about the values of the two numbers?. If the product of two numbers is greater than zero, what do you know about the values of the two numbers? 009 Carnegie Learning, Inc. 3.

Solve the inequality x 5x 7 1 using the case method by performing the following steps: x 5x x 5x 6 0 (x 3)(x ) 0 Case 1: Both factors are positive (x 3) 0 and (x ) 0 x 3 and x 3 x Lesson.6 Solving Quadratic Inequalities 145

51 Problem The Roots Method The case method works well for quadratic inequalities that can be factored. One method for solving quadratic inequalities that cannot be factored is the roots method. To use the roots method, transform the inequality so that one side is zero, calculate the roots of the corresponding quadratic equation, evaluate the equation for values on each interval defined by the roots, and examine the values that satisfy the inequality. Solve the inequality x x 6 0 using the roots method by performing the following steps: x x 6 0 a 1 b c 6 x b b 4ac a x () () 4(1)( 6) (1) x x x 1 7 (4)(7) 7 ˇ x or x 1.646ˇ The two roots divide the real numbers into three intervals: all numbers less than approximately 3.646, all numbers between approximately and 1.646, and all numbers greater than approximately Choose a value in each of these intervals. 009 Carnegie Learning, Inc.

54 Problem 3 The Graphing Method A third method for solving quadratic inequalities is the graphing method. This method uses the characteristics of the graph. To use the graphing method, transform the inequality so that one side is zero, graph the corresponding quadratic function, calculate the x-intercepts of the parabola, and examine the portion of the parabola that satisfies the inequality. Solve the inequality x 5x 7 1 using the graphing method by performing the following steps. x 5x 7 1 x 5x 6 0 Corresponding quadratic function: y x 5x 6 Graph the function y x 5x 6. y x Calculate the x-intercepts of the parabola. x 5x 6 0 (x 3)(x ) 0 x, 3 (,0), (3,0) 009 Carnegie Learning, Inc.

Define arithmetic sequences using explicit formulas. Define arithmetic sequences using recursive formulas. Calculate specific terms of an arithmetic series. Determine the sum of finite arithmetic series. Key Terms sequence term arithmetic sequence index explicit formula recursive formula series arithmetic series finite series infinite series A sequence is an ordered list of numbers. Each number in the sequence is called a term. The domain of a sequence is consecutive integers usually beginning with 1 and ending with the number of terms in the sequence. The range of a sequence is all values of the terms of the sequence. 009 Carnegie Learning, Inc. Problem 1 1. For each sequence, list the next three terms of the sequence. Then describe how to generate each new term. a. 5, 9, 13, 17 b. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 c. 1,.5, 4, 5.5 d. 1, 9, 6, 3, 0 Lesson.7 Arithmetic Sequences, Series, and Their Partial Sums 153
58 . What do you notice about the process you used to generate new terms for each sequence in Question 1? Each sequence in Question 1 is an arithmetic sequence. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers that has a common difference, d, between each two successive terms. The terms of a sequence are referenced by a n where n, called the index, is the position of the term in the sequence. For example, for the sequence 5, 9, 13, 17, a 1 5, a 9, a 3 13, and a The first term of a sequence is. The difference between successive terms is 3. Write the first six terms of the sequence. 4. The first term of a sequence is 0. The difference between successive terms is 0.5. Write the first eight terms of the sequence. 5. The first term of a sequence is 1. The difference between successive terms is. Write the first five terms of the sequence. Problem 1. What is the common difference, d, of the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 1,?.

How could you calculate a 10 directly from f(x)? 009 Carnegie Learning, Inc. 11. What is a 50? How could you calculate a 50 directly from f(x)? A rule, such as f(x) x 3, for calculating a particular term in a sequence is called an explicit formula. Explicit formulas are useful for calculating remote terms in a sequence, such as a 50, without calculating all the terms that come before it. 1. Let a n represent the nth term. Write a rule to calculate a n. 13. Let a n 1 represent the term before the nth term. Write a rule to calculate a n 1. Lesson.7 Arithmetic Sequences, Series, and Their Partial Sums 155

64 Problem 7 Calculating an arithmetic series with 100 terms, such as , is very time consuming. There must be an easier way to calculate the sum! Although there is some debate about the truth of this story, this same problem was supposedly given to famous mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in primary school. At this young age, he was able to come up with an easier method to solve the problem, which is known as Gauss s Solution. To use Gauss s Solution, write any arithmetic series in ascending order. Then write the same series in descending order below it, making sure to align the terms. The series can be written as Next calculate the sum of each pair of vertical terms. 1. What do you notice about the sum of each pair of vertical terms?. What is the sum of each pair of vertical terms? 3. How many pairs of vertical terms are there? 4.

Calculate the sum of the arithmetic series Problem 8 In Problem 7, we learned that: The number of vertical pairs is equal to the number of terms in the series. The sum of each vertical pair is equal to the sum of the first and last terms of the series. The sum of the arithmetic series is equal to half the product of these two quantities. For an arithmetic series with n terms, the sum of the first n terms is or S n n(a 1 a n ) S n n (a 1 a n ) where a 1 is the first term in the series and a n is the last term of the series.
