  Quadratic Equations




  The first three sections of Chapter 10 discuss quadratic equations in detail: the Principle of Square Roots, completing the square, and the Quadratic Formula. The final section explains how graphs of quadratic equations work. Complex numbers are discussed as solutions of quadratic equations. A real world application utilizes a stunt from a high tower in Toronto to illustrate the measurement of freefall.
