6.4. The Quadratic Formula 339<br />

(b) 3x 2 + x + 3 = 0<br />

(c) x 2 − 6x + 13 = 0<br />

(d) x 2 + 4x + 9 = 0<br />

(e) 4x 2 + 4x + 5 = 0<br />

Exercise 6.4.3 Give the solutions to the follow<strong>in</strong>g quadratic equations hav<strong>in</strong>g complex coefficients.<br />

(a) x 2 + 2x + 1 + i = 0<br />

(b) 4x 2 + 4ix − 5 = 0<br />

(c) 4x 2 +(4 + 4i)x + 1 + 2i = 0<br />

(d) x 2 − 4ix − 5 = 0<br />

(e) 3x 2 +(1 − i)x + 3i = 0<br />

Exercise 6.4.4 Prove the fundamental theorem of algebra for quadratic polynomials hav<strong>in</strong>g coefficients<br />

<strong>in</strong> C. That is, show that an equation of the form<br />

ax 2 + bx + c = 0 where a,b,c are complex numbers, a ≠ 0 has a complex solution. H<strong>in</strong>t: Consider the<br />

fact, noted earlier that the expressions given from the quadratic formula do <strong>in</strong> fact serve as solutions.
