Complex Numbers

The square of an imaginary number is a real number.
The sum and product of two complex numbers are complex numbers
The conjugate of the sum of two complex numbers is the sum of the conjugates of the two complex numbers.
The conjugate of the product of two complex numbers is the product of the conjugates of the two complex numbers.

Complex Number Representation

Complex numbers can be represented in the form a + bi where a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary unit.
The real part of a + bi is a and the imaginary part of a + bi is b.
The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi.
The absolute value of a + bi is √(a² + b²).

Imaginary Unit Properties

i² = -1
The powers of i cycle through the values: i, -1, -i, 1
Any power of i can be simplified by dividing the exponent by 4 and using the remainder

Exercise 1

The imaginary unit i is defined as the square root of -1.
The additive inverse of a complex number is the number that, when added to the original number, results in zero.
The multiplicative inverse of a complex number is the number that, when multiplied by the original number, results in one.
The conjugate of a complex number is formed by changing the sign of the imaginary part.
The product of a complex number and its conjugate is always a real number.
The solution of a quadratic equation with a negative discriminant (b² - 4ac < 0) are complex numbers.
When multiplying complex numbers, distribute the terms as you would with any binomial multiplication.
To divide complex numbers, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.
