Complex Numbers and Imaginary Numbers
The set of all numbers in the forma+b
with real numbers a and b, and i, the imaginary unit,
is called the set of complex numbers. The real number
a is called the r
i
eal part and the real number b is called
the imaginary part of the complex number a+b . If b 0,
then the complex number is called an imaginary number.
An imaginary number in the form b is called a p

Adding and Subtracting Complex Numbers
1. a+b d = a+c b+d
This says that you add complex numbers by adding their real
parts, adding their imaginary parts, and expressing the sum as
a complex number.
2
i c i i
. a+b c+d a-c -dThis says that you subtract complex numbers by subtracting
their real parts, subtracting their imaginary parts, and
expressing the difference as a complex number.

Multiplication of complex numbers is
performed the same way as multiplicationof polynomials, using the distributive
property and the FOIL method.

Conjugate of a Complex Number
The complex conjugate of the number a+bi is a-bi,
and the complex conjugate of - is . The
multiplication of complex conjugates gives a real
number.

Because the product rule for radicals only
applies to real numbers, multiplying radicands
is incorrect. When performing operations
with square roots of negative numbers, begin
by expressing all square roots in terms of i.
Then perform the indicated operation.
Principal Square Root of a Negative Number
For any positive real number b, the principal square
root of the negative number -b is defined by
-b i b
