1.3 Complex Number System
Complex NumbersNumbers of the form a + bi,
where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary
unit.
Add / Subtract Complex Numbers
1. Change (– ) to (+) of the opposite
2. Apply the Distributive Property3. Combine all like terms4. Write your answer in the form
of a + bi
Simplify each expression in standard form
Multiplying Complex Numbers
1. FOIL Method for multiplying binomials
2. Distributive Property for all other polynomials
3. Follow your rules of exponents4. Combine all like terms5. Write your answer in the form
of a + bi
Simplify each expression in standard form
Conjugate
The conjugate of the conjugate of a complex number is the complex number
itself.
The conjugate of the sum of two complex numbers equals the sum of their
conjugates.
The conjugate of the product of two complex numbers equals the product of
their conjugates.
