Lesson 4.1: Introduction to Imaginary Numbers
Learning Goals:
1) What is a real number? A rational number? An irrational number? A
complex number?
2) How do we simplify radicals of negative numbers?
3) How do we simplify powers of 𝑖?
A real number is any number that is not imaginary; it includes rational or
irrational number.
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction 𝑎
𝑏; it
includes fractions, integers, certain decimals
An irrational number is any number that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
What irrationals do you know?

Getting ready for today’s lesson:
Solve each of the following for 𝑥:
a) 𝑥2 = 4 or 𝑥2 − 4 = 0
√𝑥2 = √4 (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 + 2) = 0
𝑥 = ±2 𝑥 = 2 & − 2
b) 𝑥2 − 3 = 0 c) 𝑥2 + 1 = 0
𝑥2 = 3 𝑥2 = −1
√𝑥2 = √3 √𝑥2 = √−1 error in calc
𝑥 = ±√3 𝑥 = ±√−1 = ±𝑖
Calculator must be in “𝑎 + 𝑏𝑖” mode in order to compute imaginary numbers
without error.
Imaginary numbers can only be found with even indexes!
√−64 = 8𝑖 vs. √−643
= −4
The imaginary unit is defined as 𝑖 = √−1.

Simplifying radicals with negative radicands
Let’s try some together!
Express each of the following in simplest radical form.
1. √−121 = √−1 ∙ √121 = 𝑖 ∙ 11 = 11𝑖
2. 5√−8 + √−72 You cannot add until you have like terms!
5√−1 ∙ √4 ∙ √2 + √−1 ∙ √36√2
5 ∙ 𝑖 ∙ 2 ∙ √2 + 𝑖 ∙ 6 ∙ √2
10𝑖√2 + 6𝑖√2
16𝑖√2 2nd → decimal = 𝑖
Now you try!
Express each of the following in simplest radical form.
3: −√−49 = −√−1 ∙ √49 = −𝑖 ∙ 7 = −7𝑖
4. 4√−18 − √−50 = 4 ∙ √−9 ∙ √2 − √−25 ∙ √2 = 12𝑖√2 − 5𝑖√2 = 7𝑖√2
5. −√−225 = −√−1 ∙ √225 = −𝑖 ∙ 15 = −15𝑖
Simplifying Powers of 𝒊
What happens when you raise 𝑖 to a power? The powers of 𝑖 repeat in a definite
pattern (1, 𝑖, −1, −𝑖)
𝑖0 = 1 𝑖3 = −𝑖 𝑖6 = −1
𝑖1 = 𝑖 𝑖4 = 1 𝑖7 = −3𝐸 − 13 − 𝑖
𝑖2 = −1 𝑖5 = 𝑖 𝑖8 = 1 − 2𝐸 − 13𝑖
4
To simplify powers of 𝒊:
By Hand: Divide exponent by 4 and use the remainder!
Clock: ÷ 4
With Calculator: 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑖 mode
look at first or last or do “ipart”
𝑖22 = −1 − 2𝐸−3
Math → NUM → 3: ipart(
𝑖part(𝑖22) = −1
Let’s try simplifying the following:
6. 𝑖27 = −𝑖 − 3𝐸 − 13 − 𝑖 27
4= 6.75 = −𝑖
Math → NUM → 3: ipart(𝑖27) = −𝑖
7. 2𝑖10 + 𝑖25 − 7𝑖21 = 2(−1) + (𝑖) − 7(𝑖) = −2 + 𝑖 − 7𝑖 = −2 − 6𝑖
Cannot just plug entire expression into calculator!
8. 𝑖32 ∙ 𝑖45 = (1)(𝑖) = 𝑖 𝑜𝑟 𝑖77 = 𝑖
9. 5𝑖101 + 2𝑖14 = 5𝑖 + 2(−1) = 5𝑖 − 2

Learning Goals:

2) How do you solve for missing variables in a complex number equation?
What are complex conjugates? Complex conjugates are two complex numbers
that have the form 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑖 and 𝑎 − 𝑏𝑖.
