This lesson covers complex numbers. Students learn that a complex number is the sum or difference of a real number and an imaginary number and can be written in a + bi form. For example, 1 + 2i and -- 5 - i root 7 are complex numbers. Students then learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide complex numbers that do not contain radicals, such as (5 + 3i) / (6 - 2i). To divide (5 + 3i) / (6 - 2i), the first step is to multiply both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator, which is (6 + 2i), then FOIL in both the numerator and denominator, and combine like terms.

To multiply numbers that are in written in scientific notation, such as 1.4 x 10 to the -2nd times 5.3 times 10 to the 6th, we first multiply the decimals, in this case 1.4 times 5.3, to get 7.42. Next, we multiply the powers of 10, in this case 10 to the -2nd times 10 to the 6th. Notice that we’re multiplying two powers that have like bases, so we add the exponents and leave the base the same, to get 10 to the -2 + 6, or 10 to the 4th. So we have 7.42 times 10 to the 4th. Finally, we’re asked to write our answer in scientific notation. Notice, however, that 7.42 times 10 to the -4th is already written in scientific notation, because we have a decimal between 1 and 10 that is multiplied by a power of 10. So we have our answer.

In this example, it’s tempting to divide x squared + 5x – 6 by x + 1 by first factoring x squared + 5x – 6. The factors of -6 that add to positive 5 are +6 and -1, so we have x + 6 times x – 1 over x + 1. Notice, however, that nothing cancels. In this situation, we need a different method of dividing the polynomials, so we use long division. In other words, we rewrite x squared + 5x – 6 divided by x + 1 as x + 1 divided into x squared + 5x – 6. Now, our first step in the long division is to determine how many times x goes into x squared. Since x goes into x squared x times, we write an x above the x squared, just like we do with regular long division. Next, we multiply the x times the x + 1 in the divisor to get x squared + x, and we write the x squared + x underneath the x squared + 5x. Next, we subtract x squared + x from x squared + 5x. And watch out for this step: it’s an area where most of the common mistakes in these types of problems are made. Instead of subtracting, I would change the sign of each term in x squared + x, so we have negative x squared + negative x, then add the columns. So we have x squared + negative x squared, which cancels out, and positive 5x + negative x, which is positive 4x. Next, we bring down the -6, in regular long division. Now, we need to determine how many times x goes into 4x. Since x goes into 4x 4 times, we write a positive 4 in our answer. Next, we multiply positive 4 times x + 1 to get 4x + 4, and we write the 4x + 4 underneath the 4x – 6. Next, we subtract 4x + 4 from 4x – 6. In other words, we change the signs on 4x + 4 to -4x + -4, and we add. 4x + -4x cancels out, and -6 + -4 is -10. And since there are no other numbers to bring down, we have a remainder of -10. Finally, remember from the previous example that we add the remainder over the divisor to the quotient. In other words, we add -10 over x + 1 to x + 4, and we have x + 4 + -10 over x + 1. So x squared + 5x – 6 divided by x + 1 simplifies to x + 4 + -10 over x + 1.

In this example, notice that we have a polynomial divided by a binomial, and our binomial is in the form of an x term minus a constant term, or x – c. In this situation, instead of having to use long division, like we did in the previous lesson, we can divide the polynomials using synthetic division, which is a much more efficient method. Here’s how it works. We start by finding the value of c. Since –c = -3, we know that c = 3. Next, we put the value of c inside a box, so we put the 3 inside a box. It’s very important to understand that the number that goes inside the box always uses the opposite sign as the constant term in the binomial. In other words, since the constant term in the binomial is -3, the number that goes inside the box, is positive 3. Next, we write the coefficients of the dividend, which are 2, -7, 4, and 5. Be very careful with your signs. Now, we’re ready to start our synthetic division. First, we bring down the 2. Next, we multiply the 3 in the box times 2 to get 6, and we put the 6 under the -7. Next, we add -7 + 6 to get -1. Next, we multiply the 3 in the box times -1 to get -3, and we put the -3 under the 4. Next, we add 4 + -3 to get 1. Next, we multiply the 3 in the box times 1 to get 3, and we put the 3 under the 5. Finally, we add 5 + 3 to get 8. Now, notice that we have a 2, -1, 1, and 8 in the bottom row of our synthetic division. These values will give us our answer: the first 3 numbers represent the coefficients of the quotient, and the last number is the remainder. And it’s important to understand that our answer will be one degree less than the dividend. In other words, since our dividend starts with x cubed, and we’re dividing by x, our answer will start with x squared. So our answer is 2x squared – 1x + 1 + 8 over x – 3. Notice that we always use descending order of powers in our quotient. In this case x squared, x, and the constant. Finally, remember that we add the remainder over the divisor, just like we did in the previous lesson on long division, and we have our answer. It’s important to understand that we’ll get the same answer whether we use synthetic division or long division. However, synthetic division is much faster.
