You can find solutions to the equation in all cases by extending the number___
system to include √ − 1 .
Since there is no real number that squares to produce −1, the number √ − 1 is called an imaginary
number, and is represented using the letter i. Complex numbers have a real part and an imaginary
part, for example 3 + 2i.

•• Re(z) = a is the real part
■ A complex number is written in •• Im(z) = b is the imaginary part
the form a + bi, where a, b ∈ ℝ.
In a complex number, the real part and the imaginary part cannot be combined to form a single term.
■ Complex numbers can be added or subtracted by adding or subtracting
their real parts and adding or subtracting their imaginary parts.

conjugate pairs.
So (z − (3 + i))(z − (3 − i)) is a factor
of 2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50 If α and β are roots of f(z) = 0,
(z − (3 + i))(z − (3 − i)) = z2 − z(3 − i) − z(3 + i) + (3 + i)(3 − i) then (z − α)(z − β ) is a factor
= z2 − 6z + 10 of f(z).
So z2 − 6z + 10 is a factor of 2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50.
SA
(z2 − 6z + 10)(az2 + bz + c) = 2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50 You can work this out quickly by
Consider 2z4: noting that
The only z4 term in the expansion is z2 × az2, so a = 2. [z − (a + bi)][ z − (a − bi)]
(z2 − 6z + 10)(2z2 + bz + c) = 2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50 = z2 − 2az + a2 + b2
Consider −3z3:
Problem-solving
The z3 terms in the expansion are z2 × bz and −6z × 2z2,
so bz3 − 12z3 = −3z3 It is possible to factorise a
b − 12 = −3 polynomial without using a
b=9 formal algebraic method. Here,
so (z2 − 6z + 10)(2z2 + 9z + c) = 2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50 the polynomial is factorised
by ‘inspection’ (i.e. looking
carefully). By considering each
term of the quartic separately,
it is possible to work out the
missing coefficients.
Consider −50:
The only constant term in the expansion is 10 × c, so c = −5.
2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50 = (z2 − 6z + 10)(2z2 + 9z − 5)
Solving 2z2 + 9z − 5 = 0:
(2z − 1)(z + 5) = 0
_1
z = 2 , z = −5 You can check this by
So the roots of 2z4 − 3z3 − 39z2 + 120z − 50 = 0 are: considering the z and z2 terms
_21 , −5, 3 + i and 3 − i in the expansion.
