Proof: Let a bi and c di be two arbitrary complex numbers; then: Statement. (a bi) (c di) (a c) (b d)i. (c a) (d b)i. (c di) (a bi) Reason Theorem: The complex numbers are commutative under multiplication. Proof: Let a bi and c di be two arbitrary complex numbers; then: Statement. (a bi) (c di) (ac bd) (ad bc)i.

The conjugates of z and w, denoted by z and w, respectively, are given by z x yi and w u vi. In Problems 67 7, express each property of conjugates verbally and then prove the property. 67. zz is a real number. 68. z z is a real number. 69. z z if and only if z is real. 70. z z 7. z w z w 7. z w z w 7. zw z w 7. z/w z/ w SECTION -6 Quadratic Equations and Applications Solution by Factoring Solution by Square Root Solution by Completing the Square Solution by Quadratic Formula Applications The next class of equations we consider are the second-degree polynomial equations in one variable, called quadratic equations. DEFINITION Quadratic Equation A quadratic equation in one variable is any equation that can be written in the form ax bx c 0 a 0 Standard Form where x is a variable and a, b, and c are constants.
2 -6 Quadratic Equations and Applications 59 Now that we have discussed the complex number system, we will use complex numbers when solving equations. Recall that a solution of an equation is also called a root of the equation. A real number solution of an equation is called a real root, and an imaginary number solution is called an imaginary root. In this section we develop methods for finding all real and imaginary roots of a quadratic equation. Solution by Factoring If ax bx c can be written as the product of two first-degree factors, then the quadratic equation can be quickly and easily solved. The method of solution by factoring rests on the zero property of complex numbers, which is a generalization of the zero property of real numbers reviewed in Section A-. Zero Property If m and n are complex numbers, then m n 0 if and only if m 0 or n 0 (or both) EXAMPLE Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring Solve by factoring: (A) 6x 9x 7 0 (B) x 6x 5 (C) x x Solutions (A) (B) (C) 6x 9x 7 0 (x 7)(x ) 0 Factor left side. x 7 0 or x 0 x 7 x The solution set is {, 7 }. x 6x 5 x 6x 9 0 Write in standard form. (x ) 0 Factor left side. x The solution set is {}. The equation has one root,. But since it came from two factors, we call a double root. x x 0 x(x ) 0 x 0 x x or Solution set: {0, } x 0 x
3 60 Equations and Inequalities Matched Problem Solve by factoring: (A) x 7x 0 0 (B) x x 9 0 (C) x 5x CAUTION. One side of an equation must be 0 before the zero property can be applied. Thus x 6x 5 (x )(x 5) does not imply that x or x 5. See Example B for the correct solution of this equation.. The equations x x and x are not equivalent. The first has solution set {0, }, while the second has solution set { }. The root x 0 is lost when each member of the first equation is divided by the variable x. See Example C for the correct solution of this equation. Do not divide both members of an equation by an expression containing the variable for which you are solving. You may be dividing by 0. Solution by Square Root We now turn our attention to quadratic equations that do not have the first-degree term that is, equations of the special form ax c 0 a 0 The method of solution of this special form makes direct use of the square root property: Square Root Property If A C, then A C.
4 -6 Quadratic Equations and Applications 6 EXPLORE-DISCUSS Determine if each of the following pairs of equations is equivalent or not. Explain your answer. (A) x and x (B) x and x (C) x and x (D) x and x The use of the square root property is illustrated in the next example. Note: It is common practice to represent solutions of quadratic equations informally by the last equation rather than by writing a solution set using set notation. From now on, we will follow this practice unless a particular emphasis is desired. EXAMPLE Using the Square Root Property Solve using the square root property: (A) x 0 (B) x 7 0 (C) (x ) 5 Solutions (A) x 0 x x or 6 Solution set: 6, 6 (B) x 7 0 x 9 x 9 or i Solution set: { i, i} (C) (x ) 5 x 5 x 5 5 Matched Problem Solve using the square root property: (A) x 5 0 (B) x 8 0 (C) (x ) 9
5 6 Equations and Inequalities EXPLORE-DISCUSS Replace? in each of the following with a number that makes the equation valid. (A) (x ) x x? (B) (x ) x x? (C) (x ) x 6x? (D) (x ) x 8x? Replace? in each of the following with a number that makes the trinomial a perfect square. (E) x 0x? (F) x x? (G) x bx? Solution by Completing the Square The methods of square root and factoring are generally fast when they apply; however, there are equations, such as x 6x 0 (see Example A), that cannot be solved directly by these methods. A more general procedure must be developed to take care of this type of equation for example, the method of completing the square. This method is based on the process of transforming the standard quadratic equation ax bx c 0 into the form (x A) B where A and B are constants. The last equation can easily be solved by using the square root property. But how do we transform the first equation into the second? The following brief discussion provides the key to the process. What number must be added to x bx so that the result is the square of a firstdegree polynomial? There is a simple mechanical rule for finding this number, based on the square of the following binomials: (x m) x mx m (x m) x mx m In either case, we see that the third term on the right is the square of one-half of the coefficient of x in the second term on the right. This observation leads directly to the rule for completing the square. Completing the Square To complete the square of a quadratic of the form x bx, add the square of one-half the coefficient of x; that is, add (b/). Thus, x bx b x b x 5x x bx x 5x 5 x 5
6 -6 Quadratic Equations and Applications 6 EXAMPLE Completing the Square Complete the square for each of the following: (A) x x (B) x bx Solutions (A) x x x x 9 (x ) (B) x bx x bx b x b 9 Add ; that is,. b Add b ; that is,. Matched Problem Complete the square for each of the following: (A) x 5x (B) x mx It is important to note that the rule for completing the square applies only to quadratic forms in which the coefficient of the second-degree term is. This causes little trouble, however, as you will see. We now solve two equations by the method of completing the square. EXAMPLE Solution by Completing the Square Solve by completing the square: (A) x 6x 0 (B) x x 0 Solutions (A) (B) x 6x 0 x 6x x 6x 9 9 (x ) x x x x 0 x x 0 x x x x Complete the square on the left side, and add the same number to the right side. Make the leading coefficient by dividing by. Complete the square on the left side and add the same number to the right side.
7 6 Equations and Inequalities (x ) Factor the left side. x x i i Answer in a bi form. Matched Problem Solve by completing the square: (A) x 8x 0 (B) x x 0 Solution by Quadratic Formula Now consider the general quadratic equation with unspecified coefficients: ax bx c 0 a 0 We can solve it by completing the square exactly as we did in Example B. To make the leading coefficient, we must multiply both sides of the equation by /a. Thus, x b a x c a 0 Adding c/a to both sides of the equation and then completing the square of the left side, we have We now factor the left side and solve using the square root property: x b a b ac a x b a b ac a x b a x b a b a c a x b a b ac a See Problem 75 in Exercise -6. b b ac a We have thus derived the well-known and widely used quadratic formula:

We conclude this part of the discussion by noting that b ac in the quadratic formula is called the discriminant and gives us useful information about the corresponding roots as shown in Table.

First, the strategy for solving word problems, presented earlier in Section -, is repeated below. Strategy for Solving Word Problems. Read the problem carefully several times if necessary that is, until you understand the problem, know what is to be found, and know what is given.
10 -6 Quadratic Equations and Applications 67. Let one of the unknown quantities be represented by a variable, say x, and try to represent all other unknown quantities in terms of x.

EXAMPLE 7 Setting Up and Solving a Word Problem The sum of a number and its reciprocal is.

Solution Let x Time for new model to complete the payroll alone x Time for old model to complete the payroll alone Time for both computers to complete the payroll together Then, Part of job completed by new model in hours x () x Rate for new model x Rate for old model x Part of job completed by old model in hours Completes Completes whole job x 0, x x () of the payroll per hour of the payroll per hour x (x ) x x(x ) Multiply both sides by x(x ). x x x x x 5x 0 x x x 9.77 x is discarded since x cannot be negative.
