What is the factored form of:

x^2 - 100

(x+10)(x-10)

100

What is a term made from? (3 things)

Coefficient, Variable, and Exponent

100

What does i = ?

sqrt(-1)

100

How does a solution relate to a factor? Partial credit: Use (x - 67)

A factor helps you quickly find the solution.  In that given factor, x=67 is the solution.

-4 and -2

300

What is the factored form of:

x^2 + 5x + 6

(x+2)(x+3)

300

(3x+7)(2x-3)=6x^2 +5x -21

What is (3x+7) called?

Kaleb uses the quadratic formula below.  What are his solutions?

(8 +- sqrt (64-32))/2

4 +- 4sqrt2

500

What is the factored form of:

x^2 - 10x + 25

(x-5)(x-5)

500

What is a complex conjugate?  For partial points, what is the complex conjugate of 

6 + 7i

A complex conjugate is the same as a specific complex number, except the imaginary part has a different sign.

Example: 6 + 7i has complex conjugate 6 - 7i

500

(6+7i)*(6+7i)

-13 + 84i
