1) x squared - 4x + 5 = 0
x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0
use ax^2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = -4, c = 5
check: (2+i)^2 - 4(2+i) + 5 = 0
4 + 4i - 1 - 8 - 4i + 5 = 0
4 - 1 - 8 + 5 + 4i - 4i = 0
3 - 8 + 5 = 0
- 5 + 5 = 0
0 = 0
(2-i)^2 - 4(2-i) + 5 = 0
4 - 4i - 1 - 8 + 4i + 5 = 0
4 - 1 - 8 + 5 = 0
3 - 8 + 5 = 0
- 5 + 5 = 0
0 = 0
2) C squared + 6c + 8 = 0
c^2 + 6c + 8 = 0
(c+2)(c+4) = 0 (using foil this does come out to the above)
c = -2 or c = -4
3) a squared - 2a = -1
a^2 - 2a = -1
a^2 -2a + 1 = 0
(a-1)(a-1) = 0
one answer a=1
4) n squared - 7n = -10
n^2 - 7n = -10
n^2 - 7n + 10 = 0
(n - 2)(n - 5) = 0
n = 2 or n = 5
