Document Summary
Complex numbers: a system of numbers that allows us to solve equations that have no real number solutions with imaginary numbers. A complex number is of the form a+bi (a=real and b=imaginary). If x is a real number then need to find an imaginary number that satisfies it. Since x=i is a solution to think of i as. Important: complex numbers form a plane unlike real numbers who make a line. which means x can"t be a solution for this equation and you you can. Operations: you can do all the operations possible with real numbers as well as conjugation and modulus. Important: you can either use the formula derive using. Complex conjugate: if z= a+bi then the complex conjugate of z is conjugate means to flip a point across the horizontal access on the complex plane. Modulus: the length of the line from 0 to z in the complex plane. Complex division: for every non-zero, the complex number z.
