Solve by using the best method ever!!!

2: Strategic Factors
Topics: Factor Theorem Rational Zeros Theorem

Polynomial Division Repeated zeros/factors

3: A Complex Solution
Students explore the properties of complex numbers and relate them to the real number system
Why do you think this investigation was included in this lesson? What connections do you see between complex numbers and the use of polynomials to imitate the sine function?

M.O.R.E
Modeling Organizing Reflecting Extending

Lesson 4 Purpose(s) of the lesson Investigate the geometry of complex numbers Explore the trigonometric form of complex numbers Explorations Complex Numbers and Vectors DeMoivres Theorem A Complex Solution

1. Complex Numbers and Vectors


= + = ( + )

2. DeMoivres Theorem
= ( + )
Can be used to solve 3 = 1
3 = 1 = 3 3 + 3 Since 1 = 0 + 0 = 2 + 2 = 4 + 4 = 6 + 6 Then r=1 and 3 = 0,2, 4, 6,

2. DeMoivres Theorem
= ( + )

Cube roots of unity

REACTION TO THE VIGNETTE

Teacher: Does not know Not very clear about her answer Offered little insight Shut Down the students

REACTION TO THE VIGNETTE

Suggestions: Exploration: In-class or at home Continued discussion Ask questions that would make them think Elaborate more show an example Show using graphs Show them how to use it and when they might see it.
