Complex Numbers Lesson 1.3 day1 Notes
Complex Numbers Learning Target: Students will be able to… Identify imaginary numbers and their place in the number system Rewrite negative radicals as complex numbers Simplify products and quotients involving radicals of negative numbers
It's any number you can imagine The Imaginary Number i By definition Consider powers if i
Using i Now we can handle quantities that occasionally show up in mathematical solutions What about
Complex Numbers Combine real numbers with imaginary numbers Examples a + bi Examples Real part Imaginary part
The set of Complex Numbers
VENN DIAGRAM Representation Since all number belong to the Complex number field, C, all number can be classified as complex. The Real number field, R, and the imaginary numbers, i, are subsets of this field as illustrated below. Complex Numbers a + bi Real Numbers a + 0i Imaginary Numbers 0 + bi
Try It Out Write these complex numbers in standard form a + bi
Complex Numbers on the Calculator Possible result Reset mode Complex format to Rectangular Now calculator does desired result
Complex Numbers on the Calculator Operations with complex on calculator Make sure to use the correct character for i. Use 2nd-i
Warning Consider It is tempting to combine them The multiplicative property of radicals only works for positive values under the radical sign Instead use imaginary numbers
Try It Out Use the correct principles to simplify the following:
