Math II Complex Zeros?

<p>For anyone who has taken the real SAT Math II, has anyone come across a problem where they had to find complex (imaginary) zeros? such as 3+2i?</p>

<p>I don't recall there being anything that complicated... maybe review it if you've done it in class, but don't worry about it if you haven't.</p>

<p>Hrm. They have a problem involving that in a practice problem in my review book.</p>

<p>Yes, they have it in Barrons, but has anyone actually seen it on a College Board made test?</p>

<p>I had one question involving imaginary numbers on the May test but it wasn't about finding zeroes. You should generally know that "i" equals the root of -1 and "i" squared equals -1.</p>

<p>^^^ yea, everyone knows that (I hope) :)</p>

<p>I have found in the sparknotes test 3 a question that sounds like that: if z is a complex root of the equation (ax2+bx+c, I don't remember the coefficients, but it didn't have any real roots), then what is the magnitude of z? So I guess we should be able to solve that kind of equation. It's not at all hard after all, just an extra formula together with the thousand others we need.</p>

<p>What about Latus Rectum? Anyone remember actually solving for that on the SAT II Math II test?</p>

<p>I doubt they would have a Latus Rectum question, and if anything, it would only be one. I've never heard of that concept on the test before, so I think your fine. Also, they do throw is an occasional imaginary number question, but it's mostly just opperations with them, not finding zeros. (you might have to find the magnitude)</p>
