4 Square Roots Finding Square Roots 3 2 = 9 (-3) 2 = 9N.B = -9 (½) 2 = (¼) The square root of 9 is 3 The square root of 9 is also –3 The square root of (¼) is (½)

5 Square Roots The square root symbol Radical sign The expression within is the radicand Square Root If a is a positive number, then is the positive square root of a is the negative square root of a Also,

6 Approximating Square Roots Perfect squares are numbers whose square roots are integers, for example 81 = 9 2. Square roots of other numbers are irrational numbers, for example We can approximate square roots with a calculator.

7 Approximating Square Roots 3.162(Calculator) We can determine that it is greater than 3 and less then 4 because 3 2 = 9 and 4 2 =16.

8 Cube Roots 2 is the cube root of 8 because 2 3 = 8. 8 and 2 3 above are radicands 3 is called the index (index 2 is omitted).

9 Cube Roots Evaluated 2 is the cube root of 8 because 2 3 = 8. 8 and 2 3 above are radicands 3 is called the index (index 2 is omitted)

10 nth Roots The number b is an nth root of a,, if b n = a.

11 nth Roots An nth root of number a is a number whose nth power is a. a number whose nth power is a If the index n is even, then the radicand a must be nonnegative. is not a real number

143 Addition and Subtraction The sum and difference a + bi of c + di and are: (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i (a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i

144 (2 + 3i) + (4 + 5i) The sum and difference a + bi of c + di and are: (2 + 3i) + (4 + 5i) = (2 + 4) + (3 + 5)i = 6 + 8i (2 + 3i) – (4 + 5i) = (2 – 4) + (3 – 5)i = – 2 – 2i

145 Multiplication The complex numbers a + bi of c + di and are multiplied as follows: (a + bi) (c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi 2 = ac + bd(– 1) + adi + bci = (ac – bd) + (ad + bc)i

146 (2 + 3i) (4 + 5i) The complex numbers a + bi of c + di and are multiplied as follows: (a + bi) (c + di) = (ac – bd) + (ad + bc)i (2 + 3i) (4 + 5i) = i + 12i + 15i 2 = i + 15(– 1) = – i

147 Division (2 + 3i) ÷ 4 = (2 + 3i) / 4 = ½ + ¾ i

148 Complex Conjugates The complex numbers a + bi and a – bi are called complex conjugates. Their product is a 2 + b 2.

149 Division We divide the complex number a + bi by the complex number c + di as follows:

150 Division We divide the complex number a + bi by the complex number c + di as follows:
