Understanding Complex Numbers

Form

Complex numbers are written as a + bi where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.

Imaginary Unit

The imaginary unit i satisfies i² = -1, which allows us to work with square roots of negative numbers.

Conjugate

The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi. It's useful for division and finding magnitudes.

Magnitude

The magnitude (modulus) of a + bi is √(a² + b²), representing the distance from the origin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complex number?

A complex number is a number in the form a + bi, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers and 'i' is the imaginary unit (i² = -1).

How do I add complex numbers?

To add complex numbers, add the real parts and imaginary parts separately: (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i

What is the conjugate of a complex number?

The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi. It's useful for division and finding the magnitude of complex numbers.
