 COMPLEX NUMBER
✗A complex number can be written in the
form a + b where a and b are real number
a is called the real part and the number b is
called the imaginary part.
✗ The following are examples of complex numbers
in standard form a + b

✗ 3+4 7-3 4.5 - 2

If a=0, then the complex number is purely an

imaginary number, such as

If b = 0, then the complex number is a real number
