Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc. All rights reserved. 7 Definition: Complex Number The letter i represents the numbers whose square is –1. i = Imaginary unit If a is a positive real number, then the principal square root of negative a is the imaginary number i. = i Examples: = i= 2i = i= 6i The number a is the real part of a + bi, and b is the imaginary part. A complex number is a number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i =. i 2 = –1

Simplify: = i = 3i 1. = i= 8i 2. + 3.

Add or subtract the real parts of the complex numbers. 3. Add or subtract the imaginary parts of the complex numbers.

Use the FOIL method to find the product. 2. Replace i 2 by – 1. 3. Write the answer in standard form: a + bi. (a + bi)(c + di )

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 Product of Conjugates The complex numbers a + bi and a - bi are called complex conjugates. Example: (5 + 2i)(5 – 2i) = (5 2 – 4i 2 ) = 25 – 4 (–1) = 29 The product of complex conjugates is the real number a 2 + b 2. (a + bi)(a – bi)= a 2 – b 2 i 2 = a 2 – b 2 (– 1) = a 2 + b 2

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 Replace i 2 by –1 and simplify. Dividing Complex Numbers A rational expression, containing one or more complex numbers, is in simplest form when there are no imaginary numbers remaining in the denominator. Multiply the expression by. Write the answer in the form a + bi. Example: –1
18
Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc. All rights reserved. 18 Example: (5 +3i)/(2+i) Replace i 2 by –1 and simplify. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of 2 + i. Write the answer in the form a + bi. In 2 + i, a = 2 and b = 1. a 2 + b 2 = 2 2 + 1 2 Simplify: –1–1

Complex Numbers Engineers use imaginary numbers to study stresses on beams and to study resonance. Complex numbers help us study the flow of fluid around objects, such as water around a pipe. They are used in electric circuits, and help in transmitting radio waves. So, if it weren’t for i, we might not be able to talk on cell phones, or listen to the radio! Imaginary numbers also help in studying infinite series. Lastly, every polynomial equation has a solution if complex numbers are used. Clearly, it is good that i was created. http://rossroessler.tripod.com/ Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc. All rights reserved. 21
