5.7 Complex Numbers Goal: Understand and use complex numbers.
Warm-up Simplify: Solve the equation:
It is unfortunate that it is called imaginary because it is used in everything from electricity to economics. Simplify:
A complex number is a number that can be written in a + bi form (standard form). a and b are real numbers. Complex Number System Real Numbers (b = 0) Imaginary Numbers (b ≠ 0) Pure Imaginary (a = 0)
To add complex numbers, add their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. Example: Add or subtract. Write your answer in standard form.
To multiply complex numbers, use the distributive property or FOIL. Remember: Example: Multiply. Write your answer in standard form.
Since it cannot appear in the denominator of a fraction. To remove it, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator. The complex conjugate of a + bi is a – bi. Write each expression in standard form:
