1. 2.1 Complex Numbers

2. The Imaginary Unit

3. Complex Numbers the set of all numbers in the form with real numbers a and b; and i, (the imaginary unit), is called the set of complex numbers. The real number a is called the real part and the real number b, is called the imaginary part, of the complex number If, then the complex number is called an imaginary number. An imaginary number in the form bi is called a pure imaginary number.

4. Examples 3

5. Equality of Complex Numbers if a = c and b = d.

6. Addition and Subtraction =

7. Multiplying Foil and remember i*i = -1

8. Your Turn A:-12-28iB:-4-28iC:-4-24iD:-8-20i

9. Complex Conjugates The complex conjugate of the number a + bi is a - bi, and the complex conjugate of a - bi is a + bi. The multiplication of complex conjugates gives a real number.

10. Division Use complex conjugates for division

11. Principal Square Root
