This video tutorial teaches how to solve quadratic equations with complex solutions using the quadratic formula. It covers the importance of the order of operations in squaring numbers, demonstrates the application of the quadratic formula, and verifies solutions by substituting them back into the original equation. Additionally, it explains how to handle equations not in standard form.

What is a common mistake when squaring a negative number?

• Not using parentheses

• Ignoring the exponent

• Adding instead of multiplying

• Forgetting to multiply by negative one

What are the values of a, b, and c in the equation x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0?

• a = 2, b = -4, c = 5

• a = 1, b = -4, c = 5

• a = 1, b = -5, c = 4

• a = 1, b = 4, c = -5

How do you verify that a complex number is a solution to a quadratic equation?

• By substituting it back into the equation

• By solving another equation

• By using a calculator

• By graphing the equation

What is the value of i squared?

• i

• 0

• -1

• 1

What is the first step in using the quadratic formula for the equation 3x^2 = 4x - 6?

• Divide both sides by 3

• Subtract 4x and add 6 to both sides

• Add 4x to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

What is the simplified form of the square root of negative 56?

• 4i

• 2i

• 2√14i

• √56i

What are the complex solutions for the equation 3x^2 - 4x + 6 = 0?

• x = 2/3 ± 2√14i/3

• x = 1 ± √14i

• x = 2 ± i

• x = 2/3 ± √14i/3
