Property of the square root of negative numbers • If r is a positive real number, then Examples:
*For larger exponents, divide the exponent by 4, then use the remainder as your exponent instead. Example:
Complex Numbers • A complex number has a real part & an imaginary part. • Standard form is: Real part Imaginary part Example: 5+4i
The Complex plane Real Axis Imaginary Axis
Adding and Subtracting(add or subtract the real parts, then add or subtract the imaginary parts) Ex: Ex: Ex:
MultiplyingTreat the i’s like variables, then change any that are not to the first power Ex: Ex:
Partner Showdown • You will complete the problem on their own, and reveal the answer to one-another at the same time. • If your group all has the same answer, you may move on. • If you do not, you must discuss any errors and work together to clear-up any misunderstandings before moving on.
