What is a real number?

A real number can be any number that you can find on the number line. It includes all the rational numbers, which are fractions and decimals, as well as integers and whole numbers.

What are imaginary numbers?

Imaginary numbers are numbers that do not exist in the real number system. They're represented using the symbol 'i', which stands for the square root of -1. Imaginary numbers are crucial in solving certain types of equations that don't have solutions in the real number system.

What does 'i' represent?

The imaginary unit, represented by the symbol 'i', is equal to the square root of -1. It is the foundation of the imaginary number system.

What is the general form of a complex number?

A complex number combines a real part ('a') and an imaginary part ('bi'). It is written in the form a + bi. The 'a' represents a regular real number, and the 'bi' represents the imaginary component.

What does 'a' represent in a + bi?

The 'a' in a + bi represents the real part of the complex number. It is a regular number that you can find on the number line.

What does 'bi' represent in a + bi?

The 'bi' in a + bi represents the imaginary part of the complex number, where 'b' is a real number and 'i' is the imaginary unit. This part contributes to the imaginary aspect of the complex number.

How do you find i raised to a power?

To find i raised to any power (like i^350), divide the power by 4 and find the remainder. The remainder will tell you what the simplified form of i^350 is, as i raised to the power of 0, 1, 2, or 3 will cycle through the values 1, i, -1, and -i.

What is the square root of -81?

The square root of -81 is equal to 9i. Since the square root of 81 is 9, we simply add the 'i' to represent the square root of -1.

How do you add complex numbers?

Adding complex numbers involves adding their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i.

What happens when distributing an imaginary number?

When distributing an imaginary number, you treat it like a variable until the end of the calculation. After simplifying the expression, substitute 'i' with the square root of -1.

How do you multiply complex numbers?

Multiplying complex numbers requires using the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last), just like with binomial expressions. Combine like terms after multiplying to get the final result.

What is the simplified form of √-36?

The simplified form of the square root of -36 is 6i. Since the square root of 36 is 6, we add 'i' to represent the imaginary part.

What is the result of (6i)(-2i)?

Multiplying 6i by -2i results in 12. i * i is equal to -1, so 6 * -2 * -1 equals 12.

What is the simplified form of (3-5i)(4+6i)?

The simplified form of (3 - 5i)(4 + 6i) is 42 - 2i. This is found by applying the FOIL method and simplifying.

What is the result of (8+6i) - (2+3i)?

Subtracting complex numbers involves subtracting their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. (8+6i) - (2+3i) = (8-2) + (6-3)i = 6 + 3i

What is i^38?

i raised to the power of 38 simplifies to -1. The cycle repeats every 4 powers (i^0 = 1, i^1= i, i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i).

What is 3i(1-2i) - 2i(2-3i)?

3i(1-2i) - 2i(2-3i) simplifies to -i. Multiply, combine like terms, and substitute i^2 with -1.

What is (3+2i)+(1-5i)?

Adding (3+2i) + (1-5i) results in 4 - 3i. Add the real parts and the imaginary parts separately.

Study Notes

Real and Imaginary Numbers

  • Real numbers include rational numbers (integers, whole, and natural numbers) and irrational numbers (e.g., π, √2).
  • Imaginary numbers are defined as numbers that cannot be physically computed, represented as "i".

Definition of i

  • The symbol "i" represents the square root of -1, foundational to understanding imaginary numbers.

Powers of i

  • The powers of i cycle every four:
    • i¹ = i
    • i² = -1
    • i³ = -i
    • i⁴ = 1

Complex Numbers

  • The general form of a complex number is a + bi, where:
    • "a" is the real number part.
    • "bi" is the imaginary component.

Operations with Complex Numbers

  • To find i raised to a power (e.g., i^350):
    • Divide the exponent by 4 to find the remainder.
  • Adding complex numbers:
    • Add the real parts and the imaginary parts separately: (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i.
  • Subtracting complex numbers follows a similar process: subtract real parts and imaginary parts.

Simplifying Complex Expressions

  • When distributing an imaginary number:
    • Treat it as a variable until the final step, then replace "i" with √-1.
  • Multiplying complex numbers:
    • Use the FOIL method: multiply each part and combine like terms, noting that i² = -1.

Example Simplifications

  • √-36 simplifies to 6i.
  • (6i)(-2i) simplifies to 12.
  • (3 - 5i)(4 + 6i) simplifies to 42 - 2i.
  • (8 + 6i) - (2 + 3i) simplifies to 6 + 3i.
  • i^38 simplifies to -1.
  • 3i(1 - 2i) - 2i(2 - 3i) simplifies to -i.
  • (3 + 2i) + (1 - 5i) simplifies to 4 - 3i.
