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.

Front

What is the imaginary unit 'i'?

Back

The imaginary unit 'i' is defined as i = √(-1). It is used to extend the real number system to include solutions to equations that do not have real solutions.

Front

What is the conjugate of a complex number a + bi?

Back

The conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a - bi.

Front

How do you add two complex numbers?

Back

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

Front

How do you subtract two complex numbers?

Back

To subtract two 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 (a + bi)(c + di)?

Back

The product is given by (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i.
