Common Core Math - HS Number and Quantity
Lesson Plan
Extend polynomial identities to complex numbers
Goals / Objectives
Factor expressions of the form a^2 + b^2 using complex numbers: a^2 + b^2 = (a + bi)(a - bi).
Write the factored form of any quadratic with real coefficients using its complex roots.
Verify polynomial factorizations by expanding the complex factors.
Recognize that every polynomial with real coefficients factors into linear factors over the complex numbers.
