Complex Numbers

Definition of pure imaginary numbers: Any positive real number b, where i is the imaginary unit and bi is called the pure imaginary number.

it is a symbol for a specific number Definition of pure imaginary numbers: i is not a variable it is a symbol for a specific number

Definition of Complex Numbers Any number in form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is imaginary unit.

Definition of Equal Complex Numbers Two complex numbers are equal if their real parts are equal and their imaginary parts are equal. If a + bi = c + di, then a = c and b = d

When adding or subtracting complex numbers, combine like terms.

The Habitat for humanity project utilizes volunteers to help build house for low – income families who might not be able to afford the purchase of a home. At a recent site, Habitat workers built a small storage shed attached to the house. The electrical blueprint for the shed called for two AC circuits connected in series with a total voltage of 220 volts. One of the circuits must have an impedance of 7-10j ohms, and the other needs to have an impedance of 9+5j ohms. According to the building codes, the impedance cannot exceed 20-5j ohms. Will the circuits, as designed, meet the code?
