Unit XII I Math and the Mind's Eye Activities

Modeling Real & Complex Numbers Heximals & Fractions The relationship between heximals and fractions is investigated wid; the help of base six pieces.

Decimals & Fractions The relationship between decimals and fracdons is investigated.

Fraction Sums & Differences Procedures are developed for finding the sums and di ffcrenccs of algebraic fractions, based on area properties of rectangles.

Fraction Products & Quotients Procedures are developed for finding the products and quotients of algebraic fractions, based on area properties of rectangles.

Squares & Square Roots Methods of constructing squares of integral area are introduced. Properties of squares and square roms, including the Pythagorean Theorem, arc dcvdopcd.

Complex Numbers Green and yellow bicolored counting pieces are used to imroduce complex numbers and their arithmetical operations.

ath and the Mind's Eye materials

are intended for use in grades 4-9.

Unit XII • Activity 1 Heximals & Fractions

Actions

1. Distribute base six pieces to each student or group of stu­dents. Refer to the pieces, from largest to smallest, by letters A through E as shown below. If piece A has value 1, ask the students to find the values of the other pieces.

1 Unit XII • Activity 1

Prerequisite Activity Unit IV, Activity 6, Introduction to Deci­mals.

Materials Base six number pieces (see Comment 1).

Comments

1. Cardstock base six pieces can be made using attached Masters I, 2 and 3. One copy of each master is sufficient for each student or group of students.

If the value of piece A is I, the values of the other pieces are:

B 1J6

C 1J62 or If36

D lJ63 or Y2I6

E If64 or Ifi296

2. One way to find the value of the col­ection is to add up the values of the indi­vidual pieces. The value of the 2 B pieces is 2f6 and the value of the 3 C pieces is 3/36.

Hence, the value of the collection is 2f6 + 3f36.

Another way is to convert the B pieces to C pieces (see below) resulting in a collection of I5 C pieces, each of value If36. Hence, the value of the collection is I5f36.

3. Ask the students to form a collection whose value is 3f2. Then have them write 3J2 in heximal form. Repeat this action for 3J4. Discuss the methods the students use.

2 Unit XII • Activity 1

2. Continued. Another method for deter­mining the value of the collection is to de­termine what fraction of a unit piece A the collection covers. If an A piece is sub­divided into regions congruent to a C piece, the collection covers 15 of these regions as shown in the figure on the left. Hence, the value of the collection is 15/36 of the value of an A piece, that is, the collection's value is 1Sf36 of 1 or, simply, 1Sf36.

Alternatively, one can divide a unit piece A into 12 regions, each congruent to 3 C re­gions. The collection covers 5 of these re­gions. Hence, its value is S/12.

As is done in Unit IV, Activity 6, Introduc­tion to Decimals, a dot or point is used to locate the position of the units place when writing numerals involving fractional base pieces. The point is placed after the number of units. Thus, the numeral for the collec­tion under discussion which consists of 0 unit pieces, 2 one-sixth pieces and 3 one­thirty-sixth pieces is (0.23)six· A base six numeral involving a point is called a heximal rather than a decimal. The prefix, hexi-, means a sixth part. The prefix, deci-, means a tenth part.

3. A collection consisting of an A piece and 3 B pieces has value 3f2.

A B B B

Value= 1+3(-il=%

Hence, 3f2 = (1.3)six·

4. Ask the students to write heximals for the following frac­tions: 112, If3, 1f4, 1Js, 1f6, 1/7, 1js and If9.

f = (0.13)six

3. Continued. The students may find the heximal for 3f4 in a number of different ways. One way is to note that 3f4 is half of 3J2. By trading pieces, the above collection for 3J2 can be divided in half to obtain a collection of 4 B pieces and 3 C pieces. Hence, 3f4 = (0.43)six·

Another method is to observe that a collec­tion of 3 B pieces and 9 C pieces covers three-fourths of a unit piece A. Trading 6 C pieces for 1 B piece results in a minimal collection of 4 B pieces and 3 C pieces.

4. The value of 3 B pieces is 112 and the value of 2 B pieces is If3, hence 112 = (0.3)six and 1/3 = (0.2)six·

One-fourth of a unit piece A can be covered by a collection 9 C pieces. Trading pieces provides a minimal collection of 1 B piece and 3 C pieces whose value is 1/4. Hence, lf4= (0.13)six·

Alternatively, one can obtain a collection which is V4 of a unit by beginning with an A piece and making trades as necessary: Trade the A piece for 6 B pieces. A fourth of 6 B pieces is 1 B piece with 2 B pieces left over. Trade the 2 B pieces for 12 C pieces. A fourth of 12 C pieces is 3 C pieces. Hence, a fourth of the A piece is equivalent to 1 B piece and 3 C pieces.

4. Continued. The process just described, to find a collection whose value is IJ4, can be used to find a collection whose value is Ifs. The process, in this case, goes on indefi­nitely. To start with, a unit piece A is traded for 6 B pieces. A fifth of these pieces is 1 piece with a remainder of 1 piece. This is traded for 6 C pieces and the process re­peats. At each stage, a remainder of one piece is left which is traded for 6 of the next smaller piece. A fifth of these pieces is again 1 piece with a remainder of I piece.

4. Continued. Thus, a minimal collection for lf6 consists of 1 B piece, 1 C piece, 1 D piece, and so on indefinitely, that is, Ifs = (0.1111 ... )six· The set of three dots, called an ellipsis, indicates the established pattern continues indefinitely. A heximal which ends with a collection of digits which re­peats indefinitely is called a repeating heximal.

Since a collection of 1 B piece has value 1/6,

1/6 = (0.1 )six·

The heximal for lf7 is repeating: Begin with an A piece and trade it for 6 B pieces. A seventh of these is 0 B pieces with a re­mainder of 6. Trading these produces 36 C pieces. A seventh of these is 5 C pieces with 1 piece left, and so forth, as indicated in the sketch.

4. Continued. Starting with a unit piece A and trading as necessary, one finds that a minimal collection for ljg is 4 C pieces and 3 D pieces and a minimal collection for IJ9 is 4 C pieces. Hence, 1/s = (0.043)six and 1/9

= (0.4\ix-

5. The heximal (0.32)six represents a collec­tion of 3 B pieces and 2 C pieces. The value of this collection can be determined in a number of ways (see Comment 2). One way is to convert the collection to 20 C pieces and note that 20 C pieces constitute 5!9 of a unit piece A, as shown below. Hence (0.32)six = 519

of a unit square.

6. Have the students form the collection of base pieces whose hexima1 is (0.111 ... )six· Ask them how many copies of this collection can be obtained from 1 unit piece A. Dis­cuss.

7 Unit XII • Activity 1

5. Continued. (f) If a unit piece A is traded for 6 B pieces, one of the B pieces is then traded for 6 C pieces, one of the C pieces is then traded for 6 D pieces, and so on indefinitely; A has been converted to a collection of 5 B pieces, 5 C pieces, 5 D pieces, and so forth. Thus, 1 = (0.555 ... )six·

Alternately, one knows from Action 4 that 1/s = (0.111 ... )six• that is, the value of a col­lection which consists of 1 B piece, 1 C piece, 1 D piece, and so on, has value IJs. Hence, 5 copies of this collection will have value 5 x IJs or 1.

6. A sketch of the collection appears below. The students may recall from Action 4 that (0.111 ... )six is the heximal for Vs. Hence, 5 copies have the value 1, and so are equiva­lent to 1 A piece.

B C D E F

Alternately, one can convert an A piece to 5 copies of the collection as described in the first paragraph of Comment 5(f). Since 5 copies of the collection have value 1, each copy has value IJs, verifying that (0.111. .. \ix = IJs.

7. The heximals for Collections I and II are (0.101010 ... )5ix and (0.010101...\ix• re­spectively.

The value of Collection I is 6 times the value of Collection II. The value of the combined collections is 1};_ Hence, the value of Collection I is 6f7 x 1fs, or 6f35, and the value of Collection II is V7 x Vs, or V3s.

Alternately, an A piece can be converted into 35 copies of Collection II by trading the A piece for 36 C pieces, then trading one of the C pieces for 36 E pieces, then trading one of the E pieces for 36 copies of the next smaller piece in Collection II, and so forth. Hence, the value of Collection II is 1!35 of the value, 1, of an A piece. The value of Collection I can then be found by either subtracting 1f35 from 1fs or by noting that Collection I is 6 copies of Collection II.

Summarizing, (0.101010 ... )six= 6f35 and (0.010101.. .)six= V3s.

8. The heximals for Collections III, IV and V are (0.100100100 ... )six• (0.010010010 ... )six and (0.001001001...)8ix• respectively.

The value of Collection IV is 6 times the value of Collection V and the value of Collection III is 36 times the value of Col­lection V, so the combined value of the col­lections is 43 times the value of Collection V. The value of the combined collections is lfs. Thus, the value of Collection V is 1/43 x lfs or lf215, the value of Collection IV is 6/43 x lfs or 6f2I5 and the value of Collec­tion III is 36f43 x lfs or 36f2Is.

Alternately, one can convert an A piece into 215 copies of Collection V by trading the A piece for 216 D pieces, then trading one D piece for 216 copies of the next smaller piece in Collection V, then trading one of these pieces for 216 of the next smaller piece and so forth. Hence, the value of Collection Vis If215. The values of the other two collections can then be found by noting that Collection IV is 6 copies of Col­lection V and Collection III is 36 copies of Collection V.

Summarizing, (0.1 00100100 ... )six = 36f215, (0.010010010 ... )six = 6j215 and (0.00100100l...)six = lfm.

9. (a) Combining 3 copies of Collection II of Action 7 produces a collection whose heximal is (0.030303 ... )six· The value of Collection II is 1/35. Hence, (0.030303 ... )six = 3 X 1/35 = 3f35.

(d) A collection with heximal (0.412412412 ... \ix is obtained if, in Action 8, 4 copies of Collection III, 1 copy of Col­lection IV and 2 copies of Collection V are combined. Hence,

to form a collection which is 1f32nd of a collection of 15 A pieces, making trades as necessary: Trade the 15 A pieces for 90 B pieces; lf32nd of 90 B pieces is 2 B pieces with 26 remaining. Trade these for 156 C pieces; 1f32nd of 156 C pieces is 4 C pieces with 28 remaining. Trade these for 168 D pieces; 1f32nd of 168 D pieces is 5 D pieces with 8 remaining. Trade these for 48 E pieces; lf32nd of 48 E pieces is 1 E piece with 16 remaining. Trade these for 96 F pieces; lf32nd of 96 F pieces is 3 F pieces with none remaining. Thus, a collection of 0 A pieces, 2 B pieces, 4 C pieces, 5 D pieces, 1 E piece and 3 F pieces has a value of 15f32. Hence, 15/32 = (0.24513)six·

Since columns B and L are identical, the columns subsequent to B and L will be identical. Thus, columns B through K repeat indefinitely. Thus, S!JI = (0.2421031342),ix·

II. Using the techniques of Action 10, ev­ery fraction can be written as a heximal. If at some point, there are no remaining pieces, the process terminates. Otherwise, at some point, the number of remaining pieces in a column of a table will be the same as the number in some previous col­umn and the subsequent columns will be identical. Hence, the digits in the heximal will begin to repeat. Thus, every fraction can be represented by a heximal which ei­ther terminates or eventually repeats.

Conversely, using techniques developed in Actions 5 and 9, every terminating or repeating heximal can be written as a frac­tion. Hence, the set of all fractions repre­sents the same set of values as the set of all heximals which terminate or repeat.

2. Distribute a decimal grid to each student. Tell them the area of the large square is 1. Ask the students to shade in parts of the square so that the total amount shaded has area 1/s. Then ask them to write the amount of area shaded in decimal form.

i= 0.125

2 Unit XII • Activity 2

2. A master for decimal grids (Master 2) is attached.

Shown below are some ways of shading in parts of the square so the amount shaded has area 1/s. In the last two figures the shaded parts are not connected. In these two figures, the square is divided into re­gions and 1/s of the area of each of these regions is shaded and, thus, 1/s of the area of the entire square is shaded. Since the area of the square is I, the total area of the shaded amount is Vs.

In the last figure, the tenths are combined into as many groups of 8 tenths as possible (in this case, only one group is possible) and I tenth in each group is shaded. Then the remaining hundredths are combined into as many groups of 8 as possible and I hundredth in each group is shaded. Finally, the remaining thousandths are formed into groups of 8 and I thousandth in each of these groups is shaded. Since I tenth, 2 hundredths and 5 thousandths are shaded, the area of the shaded portion is 0.125.

3. Point out to the students that, in Action 2, they deter­mined that the decimal equivalent of the fraction 1/s is 0.125. Discuss how decimal grids can be used to illustrate the decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/s and 1/3.

3. For each fraction, a volunteer can be asked to illustrate its decimal equivalent on a decimal grid. Shown below are decimal grid sketches similar to the last sketch shown for 1/s in Comment 2.

Note that, in the sketch for 1/3, after succes­sively forming tenths, hundredths, thou­sandths and ten-thousandths into groups of 3, a ten-thousandth is left over. This can be divided into 10 one-hundred-thousandths which can be formed into 3 groups of 3 with 1 remaining. This remaining one­hundred-thousandth can in turn be divided into 10 parts which, again, can be formed into 3 groups of 3 with one remaining, and so on indefinitely. Thus, the decimal equivalent of 1/3 is 0.33333 ... where the string of 3's never terminates.

t leftover region

4. All of the decimal equivalents of these fractions are non-terminating.

In the illustration of the decimal expansion of 1/6, the leftover region of 4 ten-thou­sandths, when magnified, is identical to the region of 4 hundredths in the lower right­hand comer of the grid. Thus, as successive subdivisions are made, the pattern of ob­taining 6 groups of 6 will continue without termination.

In the sketch for 117, 1 group of 7 tenths is formed leaving a remainder group of 3 tenths. This remainder is then divided into 4 groups of 7 hundredths with a remainder group of 2 hundredths, and so forth. This process of dividing remainders into groups of 7 continues until a remainder group is reached which has the same number of elements as a previous remainder group (the original square is considered a remain­der group of 1). When this happens, the number of groups of 7 will begin to repeat.

In the sketch for 117, one of the remainder groups is enlarged in order to continue the process until repetition occurs. The final remainder group, shown in the sketch, is a single square. When magnified, it is identi­cal to the original square. Thus, the pattern of subdivision of the original square re­peats.

There are 9 of these with I hundredth remaining which, when magnified, is identical to the original square. Thus the pattern of subdi­vision repeats.

Comments

5. (a). Doubling the shaded area in the picture on page 3 for 1/3, shows that 0.666 ... = 2/3. Alternately, shading in 6 of each of the groups of 9 in the earlier picture for 1/9 shows that 0.666 ... = o/9.

(b) 0.555 ... = 5!9.

(c) Shading in all 9 in each of the groups of 9 in the picture for 1/9 shades the entire square. Hence, 0.999 ... = I.

(d) 0.010101... is 1/9 of0.090909 ... , that is, 1;9 of 1/11 or 1/99. Alternately, shading in 0.01010 ... on a decimal grid shades in 1/99

of the unit square as shown to the left. Note also that 0.010101... is V99 of0.999 .... , that is, 1199 of 1.

(e) 0.373737 ... is 37(0.010101.. .) or 37/99.

(f) 0.5424242 ... = 0.3 + 0.242424 ... = 3fw + 2%9 = 537/990. Alternatively, 0.5424242 ... = I!Jo(5.424242 ... ) = 1!Jo(5 + 42/99)= 1/w(537/99)) = 537/990.

6. Since 999(0.0010010001.. .) = 0.999999999 ... = I, it follows that 0.00100010001... = Y999.

0.235 = 235(0.001001001...) = 235!999.

0.27465 = 0.27465465465 ... =

7. One way to find the decimal equivalent of 31!6 is to multiply the decimal equivalent of 1/16 by 3. From a decimal grid sketch, one sees that 1/16 = 0.0625. Hence, 3/16 = 0.1875.

Alternately, a decimal grid sketch of 3!J6

can be made directly. In the sketch shown here, smaller shaded parts must be com­bined into larger parts to obtain the decimal equivalent. For example, 10 of the ten­thousandth squares must be combined into a thousandth strip.

7. Continued. In this sketch, 3f16 is thought of as 11!6 of 3 unit squares (as opposed to 3/16

of 1 unit square). Notice in this sketch that regrouping is not necessary.

In the second sketch (on page 8), 31!6 is thought of as 1/16 of 3 unit squares (as op­posed to 31!6 of 1 unit square). Notice in this sketch that regrouping is not neces­sary. The second sketch suggests the following process for finding the decimal equivalent for 3/16: Change 3 into 30 tenths. Form these tenths into as many groups of 16 tenths as possible-in this case, 1 group with 14 tenths left over. Change the left­over tenths into 140 hundredths. Form these hundredths into as many groups of 16 as possible-in this case, 8 groups with 12 hundredths left over. Change the leftover tenths into 120 thousandths. Form these into as many groups of 16 as possible-in this case, 7 groups with 4 thousandths leftover-and continue the process. In the sketch, one element of each group of 16 is shaded. Hence, the number of groups of tenths is the tenths digit of the decimal equivalent, the number of groups of hun­dredths is the hundredths digit, etc.

This information can be put into tabular form as shown to the left.

The digits ofthe decimal appear in the left­hand column.

The decimal equivalent of 3/16 can also be obtained by dividing 3 by 16 on a calculator.

Comments

8. (a) There are a variety of ways to deter­mine the decimal equivalent of 7132. One way is to find the decimal equivalent of 1/32

and multiply this by 7. Since 1132 is half of 1116 and, from Comment 8, 1116 = 0.0625, 1/32

= 0.03125. (This can also be deduced from a decimal grid sketch of 1132). Thus, 1f3z = 7(0.03125)= 0.21875.

One can also carry out the process summa­rized in tabular form in Action 7. To the left is a table for 7/32. It begins by convert­ing 7 to tenths.

(b) The students may recognize that 1/J 25 = ~so= o/Jooo. Thus, 1/125 = 0.008. (An alter­native is to draw a decimal grid sketch such as the one shown.). Hence, 641!25 = 64(0.008) = 0.512.

(c) 17/64 = 0.265625

(d) To the left is a table for 1913o.

As the table continues, the remainder at each step will be the same as that at the previous step. Hence, the column of 3's will continue indefinitely. Thus, 19/.lo= 0.6333 ....

(e) Shown to the left is the beginning of a table for 37/m. The names of the elements have been omitted. It is understood that the first elements are tenths, the next hun­dredths, and so forth.

The next step is to determine how many groups of 135 there are in 1000. However, this determination was made earlier in the table and found to be 7. Hence, 7 will be the next entry in the left column and, as before, this will be followed by 4 and then 0, leading to another 7, and so forth. Thus, the cycle 7, 4, 0 will repeat indefinitely. Hence, 37/135 = 0.2740.

If 37 is divided by 135 on a standard four function calculator, one gets 0.274074 and it is not clear that the actual decimal repre­sentation of 37/135 is a repeating decimal.

(f) The beginning of a table for 29/52 is shown to the left. The next step is deter­mining the number of groups of 52 in 400. This was encountered earlier in the table, so the decimal will repeat from this point on. Thus, 29/52 = 0. 55769230.

9. Discuss the relationship between decimals and rational numbers.

11 Unit XII • Activity 2

Comments

9. A rational number is an integer or a common fraction, that is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are integers.

Every terminating decimal can be written as a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 and hence represents a rational num­ber. Also, using techniques similar to those in Actions 5 and 6, every repeating decimal can be written as a common fraction (see the footnote at the end of this comment). Hence every terminating or repeating deci­mal represents a rational number.

Conversely, using the techniques of Actions 7 and 8, every common fraction can be written as a decimal. For a fraction %, this process entails forming elements into as many groups of b as possible. If, at any stage, the number of leftover elements is 0, the decimal terminates. If, at any two stages, the number of leftover elements is the same, the decimal repeats [see Com­ments 8(e) and 8(f)]. Since the number of leftover elements is one of the b numbers 0, I, 2, ... b - I, after b + I stages, the process has either terminated, that is, the number of leftover elements is 0, or there have been two stages for which the number of leftover elements is the same. Hence, the decimal either terminates or repeats.

Thus, the set of rational numbers and the set of numbers whose decimals repeat or terminate are identical. Hence, such num­bers as -fi and 1t, which are known to be irrational, have non-repeating, non-termi­nating decimal expansions.

Footnote: Since 0.99999 ... =I, one has O.III... = 1/9,

O.OI010I... = V99,

O.OOI001001... = 1/999,

0.000100010001... = 1/9999,

and so forth.

Every repeating decimal can be written in the form a + be where a and b are rational and c is one of the above repeating deci­mals and, hence, represents a rational num­ber. For example,

0.2463425 = 0.246 + 0.000 3425 = 0.246 + 0.000342534253425 ... = 0.246 + 1/1000(0.342534253425 ... ) = 246/10oo + 3425f10oo(0.0001000IOOOI...) = 246/1000+ 3425/1000( 1/9999)

Comments

1. You may have to emphasize that the en­tries in the blanks are not to involve b. Some students may, for example, write 12b as the area of rectangle B. However, one can determine a numerical value for the area of B: since it has the same base as rect­angle A and a height twice that of A, the area of B will be twice the area of A, or 40.

Some students may compute the value of b and use that to find the requested entries. This can be avoided by comparing the rela­tive sizes of the rectangles. Note, for ex­ample, that rectangles C, D and E all have the same base as A. However, their heights are, respectively, 11/3, 112 and x times the height of A. Hence, their areas will be, re­spectively, 1 1/3, 1/2 and x times the area of A.

I. Continued. The height of rectangle F is the same as that of A, however its base is twice as long. Thus, its area is twice that of A.

Rectangle G has the same base as F, but half the height, hence it has half the area of F. Alternately, G has half the height and twice the base of A. Since halving one di-mension of a rectangle and doubling the other leaves its area unchanged, G has the same area as A.

The area of H can be found by comparing it either to B or A: since H has the same height as B but 3 times the base, its area is 3 times that of B; or, noting that its height is 2 times the height of A and its base is 3 times the base of A, its area is 2 x 3, or 6, times the area of A.

Rectangle I has the same base as D but half D's area. Hence, its height is half that of D. Rectangle J has the same base as I but its area is 2y times that of I. Thus, its height is 2y times that of I.

The base of K is 4 times that of A, so is its area. Thus, K has the same height as A.

One way to find the height of L is to note that if the base of A were increased by a factor of 5, its area would be 100; however, the area of L is only 3J4 of 100, so its height is% that of A. Alternately, if the height of L is kept unchanged and its area is dimin­ished by a factor of 5, the result is a rect­angle of baseband area 15. This is% the area of A, so the height of the diminished rectangle and, hence, the height of L is 3J4 that of A.

1. Continued. Some properties of rectangles illustrated by this activity:

• If one dimension of a rectangle is kept fixed and the other dimension is changed by a factor of k, the area is changed by the same factor.

• Similarly, if one dimension of a rectangle is kept fixed and the area is changed by a factor of k, the other dimension is changed by the same factor.

• If one dimension of a rectangle is changed by a factor of k and the other di­mension is changed by a factor of m, then the area is changed by the product, km, of these factors. In particular, if one dimen­sion is multiplied by a factor and the other dimension is divided by the same factor, the area is unchanged.

The students are likely to accept these prop­erties without further proof. However, if the students are interested, or it is thought to be instructive, proofs can be constructed based on the proposition that the area of a rect­angle is the product of its dimensions. For example, the first property can be estab­lished by noting that if a rectangle has di­mensions h and b and area A, then A = hb. If one of these dimensions, say h, is multi­plied by k and a new rectangle is formed whose dimensions are kh and b, this new rectangle has area (kh)b = k(hb) = kA. Thus, the new rectangle has an area which is k times the original area.

If the students question the equality of the products kh(b) and k(hb), it may be appro­priate to carry out the Action in the appen­dix, Arithmetical Properties, found at the end of this activity.

3. Ask the students to sketch the pair of adjacent rectangles obtained by expanding the height of the first rectangle in Ac­tion 2 by a factor of 3 and the second by a factor of 2, while leaving the bases unchanged. Note that the resulting pair of rectangles can be combined into a single rectangle. Ask the students to determine the area and dimensions of this rect­angle. Discuss the methods they use and any observations they make.

2. A transparency of the rectangles can be made from Master 1, found at the end of this activity.

Two rectangles are adjacent if their bases are co11inear and adjoining. Adjacent rect­angles look like side-by-side buildings.

Since the first rectangle has area 5 and one dimension 2, its other dimension is 5 + 2 or 5/z. The length of the base of the second rectangle is 'Y3.

5 4 2 3

3. It is not critical that the students' sketches are drawn to scale; rough sketches wi11 do.

Since the height of the first rectangle has been tripled, its area has been tripled. Since the height of the second rectangle has been doubled, its area has been doubled. The

6 15 8 6 23 6

area of the combined rectangle is 23. Its height is 6. Hence, the length of its base is 23 + 6 or 2%. (A transparency of the ex­panded rectangles can be made from Mas­ter 2. The left side of the master shows the expanded rectangles. The right side shows the combined rectangles )

Note that the length of the base of the com­bined rectangle is the sum of the lengths of the bases of the original rectangles. Thus, 5jz +% = 23f6.

Some students may find the length of the base of the combined rectangle by adding the lengths of the bases of the original rect­angles, using previous methods they have learned for adding fractions. Note, how­ever, that the base of the combined rect­angle can be found without any knowledge of algorithms for adding fractions.

4. Ask the students to sketch adjacent rectangles, with inte­gral areas and heights, whose bases have lengths 5/4 and 713, respectively. Then ask them to expand the heights of these rectangles to form a single rectangle from which they can determine the sum 5f4 + 713.

5. Ask the students to us the method of Action 4 to deter­mine the sum 11/8 + 7/5. Tell the students that their sketches need not be drawn to scale.

4. In the sketches shown here, a rectangle of area 5 and height 4 is drawn adjacent to a rectangle of area 7 and height 3. The height of the first rectangle is expanded by a factor of 3 and the height of the second rectangle is expanded by a factor of 4. Combined, the expanded rectangles form a rectangle of height 12 and area 43. Hence, 5/4 + 7/3 = 43/!2.

6. Shown below, on the left, are adjacent rectangles whose bases have lengths 11/s and 7/6, respectively. Expanding the height of the first rectangle by a factor of 3 and that of the second by a factor of 4 results in adjacent rectangles with a common height of 24. Note that 24 is the least common fac­tor of 8 and 6 or, to put it another way, 24 is the smallest height which is an integral multiple of both 8 and 6.

Some students may obtain adjacent rect­angles of common height by expanding the height of the first rectangle by a factor of 6 and the height of the second by a factor of 8. These students are likely to arrive at an equivalent form of the sum, namely, 122/<ls.

7. Discuss with the students how determining the sum of fractions by finding the sum of the bases of adjacent rect­angles can be adapted to determine the difference of frac­tions, such as 3/2- 113.

Then turn over left edge to get this:

7. The method can be adapted to subtrac­tion of fractions by considering the values of rectangular regions and their edges, rather than areas and lengths. It is also help­ful to know that the opposite of a fraction %, namely,-(%), is equal to (-aY'b, as indi­cated in the sequence of sketches.

The sketch on the left represents a rectan­gular region with edges. The region and edges have values as shown. Edges are "turned over" as in the black/red counting piece model. (See Unit VI, Modeling Inte­gers.) Recall that "turning over" changes a value to that of its opposite and if an edge is turned over, the region must also be turned over. Since the value of the bottom edge is also the value of the region divided by the value of the left edge, the last two sketches show, respectively, that-(%)= (-a~ and-(%)= o/<-b).

Since the difference x - y has the same value as the sum of x and the opposite of y, the value of 3/2 - V3 is the same as the sum of 312 and the opposite of 113. As indicated above, the opposite of 1/3 is equal to -V3.

Hence, 3/2- V3 = 312 + -V3. This sum can be determined with the aid of the following sketch. The numerals in the sketch repre­sent values.

Expanding the height of the first rectangle by a factor of 3 and that of the second by a factor of 4, results in a pair of adjacent rectangles which combine to form a rectangular region whose value is -5 and has a height whose value is 12. Thus, the value of the combined bases is _5/12.

Since the value of the base of the rectangle on the right is - 1/3, or -%, the value of the base of the rectangle on the left is 1;6 + 1/3,

or 1/z. The value, x, of the left rectangle is the product of the values of its edges. Hence, x = 4(112) or 2.

Alternately, the height of the left rectangle can be expanded by a factor of 3 and that of the right by a factor of 4. The result is two adjacent rectangles that combine to form a single rectangular region whose value is 3x - 4 and has edges whose values are 12 and V6. Hence, 3x- 4 = 12(116) = 2. In which case 3x must be 6 and, thus, xis 2.

Comments

The volume of the solid on the left is the product of 2, 5 and 8. The order in which these numbers are multiplied is immaterial. For example, the volume can be found by first multiplying 2 and 5 to determine the area of the front face of the solid and then multiplying by 8, that is, by computing (2 x 5) X 8 where it is understood the product in the parentheses is computed first. Or the volume could be found by multiplying the height, 2, by the area of its base, 5 x 8; that is, by computing 2 x (5 x 8). There are other orders in which the multiplications can be made, e.g., (8 X 5) x 2 and (2 x 8) x 5.

The volume of the solid on the right can be found by finding the product of a, b and c in any order. Two possible orders are (ax b) x c and ax (b x c) Thus, (ax b) x c =ax (b x c). This relationship is called the associative law for multiplication.

The associative law for multiplication can also be viewed as follows. Sketch a rect­angle whose dimensions are a and c. Change both dimensions by a factor of b to obtain a new rectangle which is placed cor­ner to comer with the original rectangle as shown.

Since one rectangle is an enlargement of the other, their diagonals are collinear. The combined diagonals form the diagonal of a larger rectangle. This diagonal divides the larger rectangle into two triangles of equal area, one composed of regions I, II and III; the other composed of regions I', II' and III'. Since regions I and I' and II and II' have the same areas, so will regions III and III'. The area of region III is (ab)c and the area of region III' is a(bc). Thus, (ab)c = a( be).

The sheet, Picturing Properties, (Master 3) attached to this activity, depicts the com­mon arithmetical properties. On this sheet, a + b is pictured as the length of a line seg­ment composed of a line segment of length a followed by a segment of length b; ab is pictured as the area of a rectangle of height a and base b.

Comments

1. A master of the activity sheet is attached.

The completed activity sheet is shown on the left. The multiples of A can be deter­mined by using the properties of rectangles discussed in Comment 1 of Unit VII, Activ­ity 3, Fraction Sums and Differences. For example, the height of rectangle II is the same as that of rectangle I while its base is 6 times that of I, hence its area is 6 x A. (This argument requires that one recognizes 5 is 6 times 5/6. One way to see this is to think of% as 5 divided into 6 parts. Then 6 of these parts is 5.)

2

I 6 I 5

6x.§.=5 6

The multiples of A for the remaining rect­angles can be obtained by comparing its di­mensions with those of a preceding rectangle. For example, the height of V is 1/3 that of IV and its base is the same, hence its area is 1/3 that of IV; the height of VI is 1/3 that of V and its base is 3 times that of V, hence its area is the same as that ofV.

Since the area of rectangle VII is A and its dimensions are 1 and 15h, it follows that A is 15h. The value of A can also be deter­mined in other ways. For example, rect­angle IV shows that 24 X A = 45; hence, A = 45/24. Since from rectangle I, A =% x %, it follows that% x 5f6 = 15h = 45fz4.

Students who know how to multiply frac­tions may have found the value of A di­rectly from rectangle I.

The third rectangle is obtained from the second by multiplying its height and area by x, providing a rectangle whose base and area can be divided by x2 to obtain a rectangle-the fourth-which has a dimension of 1. The height and area of this rectangle is divided by 2 to get the fifth rectangle.

1. Of the integers 1 through 25, there are 13 for which a square exists that satisfies the conditions of Action 1. Master 1 attached at the end of this activity shows all possibili­ties.

One way to obtain a square that fits the conditions is to pick two intersection points as successive vertices. In the instance shown below, one can get from point P to point Q by going 3 units in one direction and 1 in the other. Repeating this 3,1 pat­tern, as shown, results in a square.

Square generated by a 3,1 pattern.

The area of this square can be found by subtracting the area of the shaded regions from the area of the circumscribed square (see the figure). Note that regions A and C combine to form a rectangle of area 3 as do rectangles Band D. Thus, the area of the in­scribed square is 16 - 6, or 10. Since the area of the square is 10, the length of its side is ...flO. By definition, if n is non-nega­tive, the square root of n, written -.[,;,, is the length of the side of a square of area n.

2 Unit XII • Activity 5

I. Continued. Shown to the left are 2 other squares, one of area 5 generated by a 2,1 pattern and the other of area 20 generated by a 4,2 pattern. Note that the side of the square of area 20 is twice as long as that of the square of area 5. Hence, -fiO = 2{5.

2. One way to see there are only 13 differ­ent areas is to note that if a square is to have area no greater than 25, then the dis­tance between successive vertices must be less than or equal to 5. Thus, if P and Q are successive vertices, Q must lie on or within a circle of radius 5 whose center is at P. In the sketch, the 13 intersections marked with an x are possibilities for Q that lead to 13 differently sized squares. Any other choice for Q leads to a square the same size as one ofthese 13.

3. As pointed out in Action 2, not all squares of integral area can be formed us­ing the method of Action I. For example, a square of area 21 cannot be constructed by this method. Two methods for constructing squares of this and other areas are devel­oped in the following Actions.

The first method involves constructing a rectangle of the desired area and then dis­secting and reassembling it to obtain a square. The development of this method be­gins in the next Action in which students are asked, as a prelude to forming a square, to dissect a rectangle and reassemble it to form another rectangle of a given dimension.

4. Distribute scissors and a copy of Master 2 to each student. Ask them to cut off the bottom portion of the page and set it aside for use in a later Action (Action 6). Then have them cut out one of the rectangles from the top portion of the page and carry out the following instructions:

a) Label one vertex of the rectangle A, label the adjacent ver­tex along the shorter side B and the adjacent vertex along the longer side D. Label the remaining vertex C.

b) Pick a point along edge AD that is closer to D than A and label this point E. Let d be the distance from A to E.

c) Cut the rectangle along line BE. Then make a second cut so that the resulting pieces can be rearranged to form a rect­angle which has a side of length d and an area equal to that of the original rectangle.

3. Continued. The second method involves constructing a square from 2 other squares. To use this method to construct a square of area 21, say, one starts with 2 squares whose area totals 21, squares of area 16 and 5, both of which can be constructed by the method of Action 1. This method, dis­cussed in Actions 10 through 13, leads to the Pythagorean Theorem. Students already familiar with this theorem may suggest methods for constructing squares which de­pend on it.

6. Discuss with the students how to choose the point E of Action 5 so that the dissection described in Comment 4 re­sults in a square. Then, on the rectangle on the bottom half of Master 2, ask the students to locate point E and dissection lines so that when the rectangle is cut on these lines, it can be reassembled into a square with edge AE.

5. The sides of the rectangle constructed in Action 4 can be compared by moving the top piece of the rectangle to the position shown below. In this case a more "square­like" rectangle can be obtained by length­ening distance AE a bit.

Notice that the sum of the two angles at the top of the figure is a right angle and seg­ments AB and CD have the same length, since they were originally opposite sides of a rectangle. These observations point to the following procedure, illustrated below, for choosing E so the dissection results in a square:

I. Extend side BC of rectangle ABCD and locate point P on the extended side so CP is the same length as AB. Also extend side CD. (See Figure I). 2. Lay a piece of paper with a square cor­ner on Figure I so the square corner lies on extended side CD and the sides of the corner go through vertices B and P (see Figure 2). Choose E to be the point where the side of the square corner intersects AD.

With this choice of E, the procedure de­scribed in Comment 4 results in a square.

7. Using the procedure described in Com­ment 6, a 3 x 7 rectangle can be dissected and reassembled as shown below to obtain a square of area 21. Note that the dimension of the square is the distance between vertex C of the rectangle and square comer S. Hence, the distance CS is ...f21.

1. Place a square corner on a side of the square so the sides of the corner pass through adjacent vertices of the square. Mark where these vertices strike the sides of the corner and trace around that part of the corner that lies in the square.

Comments

10. In Actions 10 through 13, the second method for constructing a square, men­tioned in Comment 3, is developed.

Placing the 2 congruent right triangles in the positions shown below transforms the "tilted" square into 2 squares. Note that the dimensions of the 2 squares are the lengths of the legs of the congruent right triangles.

11. If the students cut a square out of grid paper, they may find it easier to turn their squares over so that the grid lines don't show.

The dissection in Action 10 can be repli­cated as shown:

2. Move the corner to an adjacent side of the square so the marks on the sides of the corner coincide with the vertices of the square. Trace around that part of the corner that lies in the interior of the square.

Comments

14. Note that the right triangle has a hypot­enuse of length c and the square has area c2•

Thus, the hypotenuse and the side of the square have the same length.

The dissection can be accomplished as shown in steps 3 and 4 of Comment 11. The cut lines in step 3 can be determined by cutting out the triangle, laying it on the square so the hypotenuse of the triangle co­incides with a side of the square and then tracing along the legs of the triangle.

c

This dissection shows that a square whose edge is the hypotenuse, c, of a right tri­angle, can be dissected and rearranged into 2 squares whose edges are the legs, a and b, of the right triangle. Hence, c2 = a2 + b2.

15. In this and the next action, the square root of sums, products and quotients is in­vestigated.

For positive S and T, {S + {T > .V S + T, that is, the sum of the square roots of posi­tive numbers is greater than the square root of their sum. The students may arrive at this conclusion by comparing the values of {S + {T and .V S + T for specific values of S and T, for example, when S = 4 an T = 9, JS+-fi =Sand .VS+T = {13, which is less than 4.

You can urge the students to provide a gen­eral argument for their conclusion. One ar­gument, based on the sketches shown below, begins by noting that {S + {T is the combined length of the edges of squares of areas Sand T respectively. If the square of area Tis enlarged to a square of area S + T, the edge of the enlarged square would be less than the combined length of the edges of the original squares, as shown in the sketch.

16. The students may reach the conclusion that the square root of the product of two numbers equals the product of their square roots by comparing the values of {Sf and {S {f for specific values of S and T.

A general argument can be given by noting that if the length, {S, of the side of a square of area S is changed by a factor of ,JT, its area, S, is changed by a factor of {f x ,JT, or T. (See Comment 1, in Activ­ity 3, Fraction Sums and Differences.) The result is a square of area ST whose side has length {S -fi. On the other hand, the length of the side of a square is the square root of its area, in this case, {Sf. Thus, ffl= {S,JT.

In the above argument, given squares of area S and T, a new square has been con­structed, the length of whose side is the product of the lengths of the sides of the two original squares. Making a scale draw­ing of this new square requires constructing a line segment whose length ST is the prod­uct of the lengths Sand T of two given line segments. For those interested, a method for carrying out this construction is given in the appendix at the end of this activity.

The situation for quotients is similar to that of products. If a new square is obtained from a square whose area is S by dividing the length of its side, {S, by {f, the area of the new square is the areaS of the origi­nal square divided by T, i.e., SfT. Hence,

{Vr = -ry{f, that is, the square root of the

quotient of two numbers is the quotient of their square roots.

The appendix also includes a method for constructing a line segment whose length is the quotients of the lengths of two given line segments.

The results of this Action are sometimes used to "simplify radicals." For example, -145 = ~(9)(5) = {9{5 = 3{5;

JYs = .J% = FYm = Fsfs.

18. If a and b are the lengths of the sides of a rectangle, the geometric mean of a and b is the length of the side of a square which has the same area as the rectangle; the arithmetic mean is the length of the side of a square which has the same perimeter as the rectangle. That is, the geometric mean of a and b is {Gb; the arithmetic mean of a and b is a+h!z. Since square S, above, is smaller than square T (see below), the geo­metric mean of two positive numbers is less than their arithmetic mean.

The reason Tis larger than S is that the area of S is the same as the area of rectangle R while the area of Tis larger than the area of R. To see this, cut rectangle R into 2 pieces as indicated in Figure I. Form shape L with these 2 pieces as shown in Figure 2. Note L and R have the same area and the longer side of L is the same length as the side of T. Thus L is T with a corner removed. Hence, T's area is greater than L's.

1. Distribute Activity Sheet XII-5-A. The sheet contains two sketches, each of which is a set of line segments perpendicu­lar to a number line. In each sketch, the length of one of the perpendicular segments is given: in the first sketch, the length of the first segment is a and, in the second sketch, the length of the last segment is c. Ask the students to find the lengths of the remaining segments. Discuss the methods they use.

If it doesn't arise in the students' dis­cussions, point out that if the length of the side of a triangle is changed by a certain factor while the shape of the triangle is re­tained, then the length of the other sides also change by that factor. For example, ex­panding the base of the triangle by a factor of 3, while retaining the triangle's shape, also expands the height and the hypotenuse by a factor of 3. Reducing the base of a tri­angle to 113 its original length, while retain­ing the shape of the triangle, also reduces its height and hypotenuse to 113 of their original lengths; or, to put it another way, if the length of the base of a triangle is di­vided by 3, while retaining the shape of the triangle, then the lengths of the height and hypotenuse are also divided by 3.

14 Unit XII • Activity 5

Comments

2. The students can draw the perpendiculars by eye or, if they desire greater precision, they can use the corner of a sheet of paper or a notecard to draw the perpendiculars.

There are several ways to determine the lengths of the segments. One might observe that the lengths of the perpendicular seg­ments grow uniformly as one moves to the right on the number line and, thus, since 3.5 is halfway between 3 and 4, the length of the perpendicular at 3.5 will be halfway be­tween the length of the segment at 3 and that at 4. In the top sketch, the segment at 3 has length 3a and that at 4 has length 4a, so that the segment at 3.5 has length 3.5a. In the bottom sketch, the length of the desired segment is halfway between 1/ 2c and 2/3c or, converting to twelfths, halfway between 6/ 12 c and 8/12c. Thus, the length of the seg­ment is 7/ 12 c.

Alternatively, one might observe that the large triangle shown in each of the sketches on the left, is obtained by extending the base of the small triangle by a factor of 3.5 while retaining its shape. Hence, the height of the small triangle is extended by a factor of 3.5 to obtain the height of the large tri­angle. This means, in the first instance, the height is extended from a to 3.5a and, in the second instance, from 1/ 6c to 3.5(1/6c), or 7/12c.

3. The edge of a paper or notecard can be used to mark off lengths and one of its cor­ners can be used to draw perpendiculars.

One way of doing the first construction: (1) draw a perpendicular of height x at the end of the segment of length 1, (2) extend the segment oflength 1 to lengthy, (3) draw a perpendicular at the end of the extended segment, (4) extend the hypotenuse of the triangle with base 1 and height x to meet this perpendicular. The result is two tri­angles of the same shape (see the figure). The base of the larger triangle is the base of the smaller triangle multiplied by y. Thus, the height of the larger triangle is the height, x, of the smaller triangle multiplied by y.

The second construction can be done as fol­lows: (1) construct a right triangle with base y and height x, (2) locate a point on the base 1 unit from the hypotenuse, (3) draw the perpendicular segment from this point to the hypotenuse. The result is two tri­angles of the same shape. The base of the smaller triangle is the base of the larger tri­angle divided by y. Thus, the height of the smaller triangle is the height, x, of the larger triangle divided by y.

Actions

1. Distribute black and red counting and edge pieces to the students. Ask them to construct a square array, with edge pieces, whose value is -9. Discuss the existence of a square root of -9.

2. Distribute green and yellow counting pieces to the stu­dents. Tell the students the purpose of these pieces is to provide square roots for negative numbers. In particular, if adjacent edges of an array are green, the array will be red. Illustrate.

Prerequisite Activity Unit VI, Modeling Integers.

Materials Black and red bicolored counting and edge pieces, green and yellow bicolored count­ing and edge pieces. Black, red, green and yellow overhead pieces. Masters, as needed.

Comments

I. A red array will always have one black edge and one red edge:

Using only black and red pieces, a red square can not have edges with identical values, that is to say, -9 does not have a square root.

2. Cardstock tile with different colored sides can be printed using Master A, found at the end of this activity. Printing Master I in black on red cardstock provides black/ red tile. Printing it in green on yellow card­stock provides green/yellow tile. If colored printing is not available, printing Master 2 on yellow cardstock provides tile which can be distinguished from solid black tile-and which can be referred to as green tile, if you like. Red, green and yellow tile for the overhead can be cut from colored transpar­ency film.

In this write-up, colored tile will be repre­sented as follows:

3. Discuss the net values of collections of counting pieces involving green/yellow and black/red pieces. Introduce the standard notation and terminology for these values.

3. Green and yellow are opposites. Thus, the net value of the following collection is 3 yellow.

The net value of the following collection is 2 black plus 3 green.

In order to distinguish between net values in the black/red system and net values in the green/yellow system, the letter i will be used to indicate net values in the green/ yellow system. Thus, a collection of 4 black tile has net value 4 while a collection of 4 green tile has net value 4i. A collection of 4 red tile has net value -4 while a collection of 4 yellow tile has net value -4i.

Numbers of the form a + bi are called com­plex numbers. If a and b are integers, a + bi is called a complex or Gaussian integer. An imaginary number is a complex number for which b -:1: 0. A real number is a complex number for which b = 0, a pure imaginary number is an imaginary number for which a=O.

4. The sum (3 + 2i) + (4- 5i) can be found by combining a collection whose value is 3 + 2i with a collection whose value is 4-5i and then finding the value of the com­bined collection.

(3 + 2i) + (4- 5i) = 7- 3i

The difference (3 + 2i)- (4- 5i) can be found by combining a collection whose value is 3 + 2i with a collection whose value is the opposite of 4 - 5i and then finding the value of the combined collec­tion.

Alternatively, the difference can be found by forming a collection with net value 3 + 2i from which a collection with value 4 - 5i can be removed:

(3+2i)-(4-5i)=-1 +7i

5. Ask the students to form a counting piece array for which one edge has value 1 + 2i and the other edge has value 2 + 3i. Discuss. Then ask the students to use their array to find the product (1 + 2i)(2 + 3i).

5. An array whose edges have the given values has four sections as indicated below.

IV III 2 .1 'I I i-----------lf---------1

I II

-----2 3i

The tile in section I are black since both edges of this section are black. The tile in section III are red since both edges are green.

Sections II and IV both have one black and one green edge. The students may question what color tile to place in these sections. Note that section II represents the product I x 3i. If, in the complex numbers, multipli­cation by 1 is to leave a number unchanged, just as it does in the real numbers, then the value of section II is 3i, in which case it contains green tile. To maintain consis­tency, the tile in section IV, which also has one black and one green edge, must also be green.

The completed array appears below. Its value is -4 + 7i.

I I I -----

(2 + 3i)(1 + 2i) = -4 + 7i

6. Have the students use the array with edge pieces formed in Action 5 to find (1 + 2i)(2- 3i). Repeat for (1- 2i)(2-3i).

7. Ask the students to summarize what they have discovered about the relationship of the color of a tile in an array to the colors of its edge pieces. Discuss.

6. Tum over the last 3 columns of the array to obtain the following:

I I I --===

(1 + 2i)(2- 3i) = 8 + i

Then, turn over the top 2 rows:

--=== (1 -2i)(2-3i) =-4-7i

7. If both the row and column that a tile is in have black edges, the tile is black. If they both have green edges, the tile is red. If one has a black edge and the other a green edge, the tile is green. These 3 situations are illustrated below.

I I I - - -The situation for other combinations of edges can be determined by turning over pieces in one of the above situations. For example, turning over the row in the situa­tion on the left, we see that if one edge is red and the other black, the tile is red:

• If both edges are black or red, the tile is black.

• If both edges are green or yellow, the tile is red.

• If one edge is black, the tile has the same color as the other edge.

• If one edge is red, the tile has the opposite color of the other edge.

• If one edge is green and the other yellow, the tile is black.

8. Continued. (g) If an array whose value is 5i is con­structed so one edge has value I + 2i, the value of the other edge is the desired quo­tient. Since the real part of 5i is 0, the array must have an equal number of black and red pieces.

The array shown here has value 5i. Its left edge has value 1 + 2i. The value of the other edge is 2 + i. Hence, 5i + (1 + 2i) = 2 + i.

(h) The students will devise various strate­gies for constructing an array whose value is 16 + 2i and has an edge whose value is 2- 3i.

- -

One way to proceed is to Jay out an edge of 2 black and 3 yellow and then consider which of black or red and which of green or yellow must be in the other edge. Since the resulting array must contain at least 16 black tile, colors should be chosen that produce both black and green tile, with more of the former. As shown on the left, a selection of black leads to a column of 2 black and 3 yellow and a selection of green leads to a column of 2 green and 3 black. Two of the former and 4 of the latter will produce an array whose net value is 16 + 2i, as shown below.

9. (Optional.) Ask the students to use counting pieces to find a square root of 2i. Then ask them how they might use counting pieces, along with a scissors, to find a square root of i. Discuss.

9 Unit XII • Activity 6

The square shown here has area 2. Its edges are diagonals of unit squares.

9. The following array, with two adjacent edges of the same value, shows that 1 + i is a square root of 2i.

I I --

By cutting tile in half, one obtains a square whose value is i:

If the tile are cut in half again, one can rear­range the above square into a square with two adjacent edges of equal value:

The length of each edge piece is half the diagonal of a unit square, or --I?{ (see the sketch). Thus, --I?{+ --I?{ i is a square root of i. Since each edge could consist of a red and a yellow edge piece, rather than a black and a green, ---I?{ ---I?{ i is also a square root of i.

Note that no new colors-only scissors-are necessary to obtain square roots fori, that is, no new colors are needed to solve the equa­tion x2 = i. This is an illustration of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: Every polynomial equation with complex numbers as coefficients has solutions which are com­plex numbers.
