5-4 Operations with Complex Numbers SWBAT Perform operations with complex numbers. Holt Algebra 2
The imaginary unit i can be raised to higher powers. Notice the repeating pattern in each row of the table. The pattern allows you to express any power of i as one of four possible values: i, –1, –i, or 1. Helpful Hint
Evaluating Powers of i Simplify –6i14. –6i14 = –6(i2)7 = –6(–1)7 = –6(–1) = 6
Evaluating Powers of i Simplify i63. Simplify i42.
Conjugates: What is a conjugate? Factor x2 – 100. Find the conjugate of the following: 1. (4 + i) 2. (i – 3) 3. (4i) The complex conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a – bi. Helpful Hint
Dividing Complex Numbers Simplify.
