III. Solve the following. Express your answers in simplest form.

For numbers 1 – 5 For numbers 6 – 8
Perform the necessary operation. Use the discriminant to determine the number of roots.
1. ( 9 + 5i ) + ( 8 + 9i ) 6. 16x2 – 8x + 1 = 0
2. ( 6 + 3i ) – ( 2 + 3i ) 7. 2x2 + 2x – 13 = 0
3. ( 4 + 2i ) ( 7 – 4i ) 8. 2x2 – 3x = 4
4. ( 6 + i ) ( 2 – i )
5. ( 3 + 2i ) ( 3 – 2i )
