Study Notes
Complex Numbers
- The imaginary unit is denoted as i, where i = √(-1).
- A complex number can be expressed in standard form as a + bi, where a is the real part and bi is the imaginary part.
Polynomial Equations
- The quadratic equation x^2 + 1 = 0 has no real solution, but it has nonreal complex solutions.
Complex Number Properties
- The real part of the complex number a + bi is a.
Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
- According to the fundamental theorem of algebra, every non-constant polynomial equation with real or complex coefficients has at least one complex root (or solution).
