Introduction To Complex Numbers

Complex numbers are written in the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. To add complex numbers, add the real parts and imaginary parts separately. To multiply complex numbers, use the FOIL method. To divide complex numbers, multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator. The document provides examples of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers.

Introduction to Complex Numbers

Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying And Dividing Complex Numbers


SPI 3103.2.1 Describe any number in the complex number system.

Complex Numbers (a + bi)

Natural (Counting) Numbers

Imaginary #s

Complex Numbers are written in the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.

a + bi
real part
imaginary part

When adding complex numbers, add the real parts together and add the imaginary parts together.
imaginary part

(3 + 7i) + (8 + 11i)
real part

11 + 18i

When subtracting complex numbers, be sure to distribute the subtraction sign; then add like parts.

(5 + 10i) (15 2i) 5 + 10i 15 + 2i 10 + 12i

When multiplying complex numbers, use the FOIL method.

(3 8i)(5 + 7i)
15 + 21i 40i 15 19i + 56
2 56i
Remember, i2 = 1

71 19i

To divide complex numbers, multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the complex number in the denominator of the fraction.

7 + 2i 3 5i

The complex conjugate of 3 5i is 3 + 5i.

7 + 2i (3 + 5i) 3 5i (3 + 5i)
21 + 35i + 6i + 10i 2 9 + 15i 15i 25i 21 + 41i 10 9 + 25
2

11 + 41i 34

Try These.
1. (3 + 5i) (11 9i) 2. (5 6i)(2 + 7i)

3. 2 3i 5 + 8i
4. (19 i) + (4 + 15i)

Try These.
1. (3 + 5i) (11 9i) 2. (5 6i)(2 + 7i) -8 + 14i 52 + 23i

3. 2 3i 5 + 8i
4. (19 i) + (4 + 15i)

14 31i 89
23 + 14i
