To better see the big picture of the kinds of solutions to a quadratic equation, see
"I Got Your Number". To learn of the evolution of numbers, read
"Imaginary Numbers Are Not Imaginary."
-
COMPLEX NUMBER  
-- solves all ax² + bx + c = 0, but, there are different kinds of answers (easily identified by the
discriminant). The kinds of answers are:
- a + bi, where a is not 0, b is not 0, where i² = -1
- a + bi, where a is 0, b is not 0, where i² = -1 -- These are pure
IMAGINARY
- a + bi, where a is not 0, b is 0, where i² = -1 -- These are pure
REAL NUMBER
-- solves x² - 4 = 0. There are two kinds of real numbers:
-
IRRATIONAL
-- solves x² = 3, NON-FRACTIONS, a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal number
-
RATIONAL
-- solves x² = 4, FRACTIONS, a repeating, terminating decimal number. There are two kinds of rational numbers:
- MIXED NUMBER - a rational number in which the
denominator DOES NOT evenly divides the
numerator
-
INTEGER
-- solves x + 4 = 3, a number in which the denominatore DOES evenly divide the numerator, a whole number or the opposite of a whole number.
-
WHOLE NUMBER
-- solves x + 4 = 4. The NATURAL NUMBERS and also ZERO.
-
NATURAL NUMBER -- the COUNTING NUMBERS, solves x + 4 = 6
More Extra Stuff
-
table -- build and edit a table of data
-
pyth3.xls
- Examine Pythagorean Triangles -- triangles with "nice" sides, generated because:
If p > q,
then p and q may be used to generate the right triangle with
leg a = p2 - q2,
leg b = 2pq, and hypotenuse c = p2 + q2.
Includes Heronian Triangles
Pythagorean Triples
-
Heronian Triangles -- 2 right triangles butted up together and sharing a common side.
for all x, generate triples
for all even x, generate triples Heronian triangles are a pair of right triangles with a "shared side."
