Identify the numbers below as rational or irrational numbers Rational Rational Irrational Rational Rational
Complex numbers Any number of the form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit is called a complex number. a is the called the real part and b is called the imaginary part. If b≠0, the number is called an imaginary number.
Numbers Complex numbers a + bi Real numbers Imaginary numbers
The Number System Insert at least two examples for each level.
Imaginary unit The imaginary unit is i which has the following properties: Now try these
Square root of negative numbers: =6i = =
Add: (2+3i)+(4+5i) Multiply (2+3i)(4+5i)= Examples
Method: rationalize the denominator Process: multiply numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of 4+3i. Dividing; express in form of a+bi.
Reminder: Reminder: write final answer in form
= simplify
Peruse the ch.1 summary, vocabulary list, and chapter test , starting on page 48. Homework
