5-6 Complex Numbers Algebra 2 Prentice Hall, 2007
Content Learning Objectives You will… • Learn what a complex number is. • Write complex numbers in a+bi form. • Simplify expressions containing complex numbers. • Graph complex numbers on a coordinate plane. • Find the absolute value of a complex number.
What is it? • The set of Complex Numbers consists of Real and Imaginary Numbers • The imaginary number, i, is equal to
What does it mean? • Now, you CAN simplify radicals with negative signs under the symbol! Ex. 1 Ex. 2
What does it mean? • Complex numbers should be written in the form Ex. 3
What else can you do? • The imaginary number, i, ACTS like a variable and all properties for +,-,x,/ apply! Ex. 4 Ex. 5 Ex. 6
You can even graph it! • The complex number plane is used to represent a complex number geometrically. • Graph the Real part on the x-axis. • Graph the Imaginary part on the y-axis. Ex. 7
What about Absolute Value? • The absolute value of a complex number is its distance from the origin on the complex coordinate plane. • Think Pythagorean Theorem… Ex. 7
