Cheat Sheet g10mt02 Final

This document discusses key concepts relating to quadratic equations, including: 1) The discriminant of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c is b2 - 4ac, which determines the nature of the roots. 2) The cube roots of unity are 1, (-1 + √-3)/2, and (-1 - √-3)/2. The complex cube roots are ω and ω2. 3) Symmetric functions of the roots of a quadratic equation remain the same when the roots are interchanged.
