Solving Equations with Complex Exponents

Show your class that not all equations are linear. The lesson asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using square and cube roots. Problems include equations with no solutions. 

While there are many types of equations to solve, the main focus here is on quadratics. Starting with a quick review of the different methods, learners are guided through the solving process and are challenged to solve higher level...

When guess and check gets old, it's time to start graphing! An instructive lesson explains how to solve a system of linear equations using graphing. Equations are in both slope-intercepts and standard form. 

Challenge your mathematicians to simplify and solve a variety of different equations. This worksheet focuses on multi-step problems that begin with combining like terms and advance toward solving equations with variables on both sides. A...

Multiple-step problems don't have to equal tough problems. This worksheet provides a list of steps needed to go through multi-step equations that include combining like terms and distributing. With ten problems total, your learners will...

This video involves both positive and negative numbers. Sal explains the definition and function of exponents. This video offers several examples, ranging from simple to more complex, which are especially helpful for those who multiply...

Sal solves a complex determinant problem from the 2010 IIT entrance test. Knowledge of determinants, the exponential form of complex numbers, trigonometric ratios, and algebraic thinking are all utilized here.

The instructor demonstrates how to use the distributive property to eliminate fractions in an equation. Remember to have learners plug their answers into the original equation to check their work.

Completing the square is an effective way to solve a quadratic equation. Introduce your class to this technique and use this video to complement your lesson. This resource takes viewers through the process of completing the square,...

Polynomials are full of solutions! Learners understand that the degree determines the number of solutions. Examples show quadratic equations solved by factoring and by using the quadratic formula. A cubic equation is even mixed in for...
