Complex numbers basic

concepts
 Imaginary and complex numbers
 i= -1 Imaginary unit

i¹=i

i²=-1 Power of i

i³=i²·i=-i
4
i =i²·i²=1
 z=a+bi Imaginary part


 Real part of complex number

 a,bϵR
 Algebric version of complex number
 Graph version of complex number

z=a+bi
 Conjugate complex number

|z|= a²+b²

z=a+bi z=a-bi
Add and substract complex
numbers

(5+4i)+(-1+2i)=(5-1)+(4i+2i)=4+6i

Group the real and imaginary parts together

Simplify

(8+3i)-(6-5i)=8+3i-6+5i=2+8i
Distributive property
Simplify
 Multiply complex numbers
 (2-3i)·(4+5i)=8+10i-12i-15i²=
 =8-2i-15(-1)=8+15-2i=23-2i

i²=-1
Use complex conjugates
