Visual Cue Narration
Slide Number 1

Title Slide

Welcome to this tutorial on Complex Roots of Quadratic Equations.
Slide Number 2

Learning Objectives

In this tutorial, we will learn to,

Plot graphs of quadratic functions

Calculate real and complex roots of quadratic functions.

Slide Number 3

Pre-requisites

To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with:

GeoGebra interface

Basics of quadratic equations, geometry and graphs

Previous tutorials in this series

If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.

Slide Number 4

System Requirement

Here I am using:

Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04

Geogebra 5.0.388.0-d

Slide Number 5

Quadratic polynomials

2nd degree polynomial y = ax2+bx+c

Parabola

If parabola intersects x axis, x intercepts are real roots.

If parabola does not intersect x axis at all, no real roots, only complex

Quadratic polynomials

Let us find out more about a 2nd degree polynomial.

y equals a x squared plus b x plus c

The function graphs as a parabola.

If the parabola intersects the x axis, the intercepts are real roots.

If the parabola does not intersect x axis at all, it has no real roots.

Roots are complex.

Let us look at complex numbers.

Slide Number 6

Complex numbers, XY plane

As we know,

A complex number is expressed as z = a + b i: where a is the real part, b i is imaginary part, and a and b are constants.

Imaginary number, i = sqrt(-1}

In the XY plane, a + b i corresponds to the point (a, b).

In the complex plane, x axis is called real axis, y axis is called imaginary axis.

Complex numbers, XY plane

As we know,

A complex number is expressed as z equals a plus b i.

a is the real part; b i is imaginary part; a and b are constants.

i is imaginary number and is equal to square root of minus 1.

In the XY plane, a plus b i corresponds to the point a comma b.

In the complex plane, x axis is called real axis, y axis is called imaginary axis.

Slide Number 7

Complex numbers, complex plane

[[Image:]]

In complex plane, z is a vector with real axis coordinate ‘a’ and imaginary axis coordinate b.

Length of the vector z = |z| = r

r = sqrt (a2+b2) (Pythagoras’ theorem)

Complex numbers, complex plane

In complex plane, z is a vector.

Its real axis coordinate is ‘a’ and imaginary axis coordinate is b.

The length of the vector 'z' is equal to the absolute value of z and to r.

According to Pythagoras’ theorem, r is equal to square root of a squared plus b squared.

Point to f(x) in Algebra view. Function f of x equals x squared plus 5x plus 10 has no real roots.

Let us see the complex roots of this equation.

Click on View >> Spreadsheet. Click on View, then on Spreadsheet.

This opens a spreadsheet on the right side of the Graphics view.

Click to close Algebra view. Click to close Algebra view.
Drag the boundary of Graphics view. Drag the boundary to see Spreadsheet view properly.
Point to the spreadsheet. Type the following labels and formulae in the spreadsheet.
Type b^2-4ac in cell A1 >> press Enter.

Drag column to adjust width.

In cell A1, type within quotes b caret 2 minus 4ac and press Enter.

Drag column to adjust width.

b squared minus 4ac is also called the discriminant.

Type b^2-4 a c in cell B1 >> press Enter. In cell B1, type b caret 2 minus 4 space a space c and press Enter.
Point to cell B1. The value minus 15 appears in cell B1 corresponding to b squared minus 4 a c for f x.

Note: Discriminant is always negative for quadratic functions without real roots.

Type “-b/2a” in cell B3>>press Enter. In cell B3, type within quotes minus b divided by 2a.

Press Enter.

Type –b/2 a in cell B4>>press Enter. In cell B4, type minus b divided by 2 space a.

Press Enter.

Note the value -2.5 appear in cell B4.

Type B4 in cell B5>>press Enter. In cell B5, type B4 and press Enter.

The value -2.5 appears in cell B5 also.

Type “+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a” in cell C3 >> press Enter. In cell C3, type the following line and press Enter.

Within quotes, plus minus sqrt D divided by 2a

Type sqrt(B1)/2 a in cell C4 >> press Enter. In cell C4, type sqrt B1 in parentheses divided by 2 space a and press Enter.

Type –C4 in cell C5>>press Enter. In cell C5, type minus C4 and press Enter.

Again, a question mark appears in cell C5.

There are no real solutions to the negative square root of the discriminant.

Type (b4+c4,0) in the input bar >> press Enter. In input bar, type b4 plus c4 comma 0 in parentheses and press Enter.

This should plot the root corresponding to ratio of minus b plus square root of discriminant to 2a.

Type (b5+c5,0) in the input bar >> press Enter. In input bar, type b5 plus c5 comma 0 in parentheses and press Enter.

This should plot the root corresponding to ratio of minus b minus square root of discriminant to 2a.
