Which of these is NOT a method to solve quadratic equations?

Answer: Long division only.

  • A Factorization
  • B Quadratic formula
  • C Completing the square
  • D Long division only

Correct answer: D. Long division only

Explanation: Standard methods: factorization, quadratic formula, completing the square, and graphical method.

Argand Plane: z = a + ibReImz = a+iba (real part)b (imaginary part)θ = arg(z)|z| = length of the vector OZ = √(a²+b²); θ = angle OZ makes with the positive real axis

A complex number z = a+ib is plotted as a point (or vector from the origin) on the Argand plane, with the real part along the horizontal axis and the imaginary part along the vertical; its modulus |z| is the vector's length, and its argument θ is the angle from the positive real axis.

Concept context

Complex numbers in a+ib form, modulus, argument, polar form, cube roots of unity, and quadratic equations with complex roots
