Remember: Imaginary Number (i) • Defined as: • Powers of i
Simplifying Monomials • Simplify a Power of i • Steps • Separate i into a power of 2 or 4 taken to another power • Use power of i rules to simplify i into -1 or 1 • Take -1 or 1 to the power indicated • Recombine any leftover parts
Operations • Simplify a Power of i Simplify
Simplifying Monomials Example • Square Roots of Negative Numbers Simplify
Addition & Subtraction • Add and Subtract Complex Numbers • Treat i like a variable Simplify
Addition & Subtraction Examples Ex: Ex: Ex:
Multiplying Complex Numbers • Multiply Pure Imaginary Numbers • Steps • Multiply real parts • Multiply imaginary parts • Use rules of i to simplify imaginary parts
Monomial Multiplication Example • Multiply Pure Imaginary Numbers Simplify
Multiplication Example • Multiply Complex Numbers Simplify
Solving ax2+b=0 • Equation With Imaginary Solutions Solve Note: ± is placed in the answer because both 4 and -4 squared equal 16
