Section 14: Complex Numbers
Part 1: Complex Numbers
Imaginary Number: a number combined with the
value “
i
, defined as –
√ 1
i
=
When the square root to a negative number is to
be found, take the square root of the number and
then replace the negative sign with “
i
”
Ex

)
√81 ➔ √81i ➔ 9i
√60 ➔ √60i ➔ 2i√15
(Note: Usually the “ is used with the root, but
+
”
unless the number is the solution to an equation,
use the positive only
...
) 3 + 7i ➔ ‘3’: real ‘7i’: imaginary
Part 2: Combining Complex Numbers
A) Adding / Subtracting Complex Numbers
1) Add / Subtract the real numbers
2) Add / Subtract the imaginary numbers
3) Combine the two parts into a complex
number
(Note: Complex numbers are usually written with
parentheses, so any “–” outside the number must
be distributed

) (3 + 4i)(9 – 8i)
F: 3 × 9 = 27
O: 3 × (8i) = 24i
27–24i+36i+32
I: 4i × 9 = 36i
= 59
+12i
2
L: 4i × (8i) = 32i
= 32
C) Dividing Complex Numbers
1) Conjugate the denominator
2) Multiply both parts by the conjugate
3) Simplify the result
