What is a complex number?

Back

A complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary unit, defined as the square root of -1.

How do you add complex numbers?

Back

To add complex numbers, combine their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. For example, (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i.

Front

How do you subtract complex numbers?

Back

To subtract complex numbers, subtract their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. For example, (a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i.

Front

What is the product of two complex numbers?

Back

To multiply complex numbers (a + bi) and (c + di), use the distributive property: (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi^2. Remember that i^2 = -1.

Front

What is the conjugate of a complex number?

Back

The conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a - bi. It is used to simplify division of complex numbers.

Front

How do you divide complex numbers?

Back

To divide complex numbers, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. For example, to divide (a + bi) by (c + di), multiply by (c - di)/(c - di).

Front

What is the standard form of a complex number?

Back

The standard form of a complex number is a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.
