1. Simplify Imaginary Numbers 2. Write Complex Numbers in the Form a + bi 3. Perform Operations on Complex Numbers
Write Complex Numbers in the Form a + bi Given real numbers a and b, a number written in the form a + bi is called a complex number. a is the real part b is the imaginary part
Examples 11 – 13: Simplify and write the result in standard form a + bi. 11. –5 12. 17i 13.
Examples 14, 15: Simplify and write the result in standard form a + bi. 14. 15.
1. Simplify Imaginary Numbers 2. Write Complex Numbers in the Form a + bi 3. Perform Operations on Complex Numbers
Perform Operations on Complex Numbers Powers of i : Every fourth power of iequals 1.
Perform Operations on Complex Numbers To simplify a power of i, write the expression as i to a power of 4 multiplied by .
Examples 16 – 18: Simplify: 16. 18. 17.
Perform Operations on Complex Numbers To add or subtract complex numbers, add or subtract their real parts, and add or subtract their imaginary parts.
Examples 19, 20: 19. 20.
Perform Operations on Complex Numbers Multiply complex numbers as you would multiply polynomials. Remember .
Perform Operations on Complex Numbers The expressions a + bi and a – bi are called complex conjugates. The product of complex conjugates is a real number.
Perform Operations on Complex Numbers To divide complex numbers, make the denominator a real number so the quotient can be written in the form a + bi.
Example 25: Divide and write the result in the form a + bi.
Example 26: Divide and write the result in the form a + bi.
Example 27: Divide and write the result in the form a + bi.
Example 28: Divide and write the result in the form a + bi.
