Complex Numbers n Understand complex numbers n Simplify complex number expressions
2
Imaginary Numbers n What is the square root of 9? n What is the square root of -9?
3
Imaginary Numbers n There is no real number that when multiplied by itself gives a negative number. n A new type of number was defined for this purpose. It is called an Imaginary Number. Imaginary numbers are NOT in the Real Set.
4
Imaginary Numbers n The constant, i, is defined as the square root of negative 1: n Multiples of i are called Imaginary Numbers
5
Imaginary Numbers n The square root of -9 is an imaginary number... n When we simplify a radical with a negative coefficient inside the radical, we write it as an imaginary number.
6
Imaginary Numbers n Simplify these radicals:
7
Multiples of i n Consider multiplying two imaginary numbers: n So...
8
Multiples of i n Powers of i:
9
Multiples of i n This pattern repeats:
10
Multiples of i n We can find higher powers of i using this repeating pattern: i, -1, -i, 1 What is the highest number less than or equal to 85 that is divisible by 4? 84 + ? = 85 1 84 So the answer is:

15
Complex Numbers n When we add a real number and an imaginary number we get a Complex Number. n Since the real and imaginary numbers are not like terms, we write complex numbers in the form a + bi n Examples: 3 - 7i, -2 + 8i, -4i, 5 + 2i
16
Complex Numbers: A/S n To add or subtract two complex numbers, combine like terms (the real & imaginary parts). n Example: (3 + 4i) + (-5 - 2i) = -2 + 2i
17
Practice Add these Complex Numbers: n (4 + 7i) - (2 - 3i) n (3 - i) + (7i) n (-3 + 2i) - (-3 + i) = 2 +10i = 3 + 6i = i
18
Complex Numbers: M n To multiply two complex numbers, FOIL them: n Replace i 2 with -1:
19
Practice Multiply: n 5i(3 - 4i) n (1 - 3i)(2 - i) n (7 - 4i)(7 + 4i) = 20 + 15i = -1 - 7i = 65
20
Complex Numbers: D n We leave complex quotients in fraction (rational) form: n But since i represents a square root, we cannot leave an i term in the denominator...
21
Complex Numbers: D n We must rationalize any fraction with i in the denominator. Binomial Denominator: Monomial Denominator:
22
Complex #: Rationalize n If the denominator is a monomial, multiply the top & bottom by i.
23
Complex #: Rationalize n If the denominator is a binomial multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator...
24
Complex #: Rationalize n When you multiply conjugate complex numbers, the imaginary part drops out:
25
