4 - 8 Complex Numbers

Kiran Satyavarapu
Algebra II
Coolidge High School

Objectives

To identify, graph and perform


operations with complex numbers.

Definition

Complex numbers are based on a


number whose square is -1
EX: 1 = i where i = Imaginary Number

The Imaginary Number i


1 i i 2 1

By definition

Consider powers if i
i2
i3
i4
i5

=
=
=
=

Example 1

Simplify using i

Example 2 ( Your Turn)

Simplify using i

Complex Numbers

A complex number has a real part & an


imaginary part.
Standard form is:

a bi

Real part
Example: 5+4i

Imaginary part

The Complex plane

Real Axis

Imaginary Axis

Graphing in the complex plane

2 5i
2 2i
4 3i

4 3i

Absolute Value of a Complex


Number

The distance the complex number is


from the origin on the complex
plane.
If you have a complex number (a bi )
the absolute value can be found
using: a 2 b 2
|a+bi| = a 2 b2

Example

What is the absolute value of the


complex number -5 +3i?

What is the absolute value of the


complex number 6i?

11

Book Work

On a separate sheet of paper, answer


problems from 8 17 on page 253

12

Addition and Subtraction

Write the Complex Number in its


standard form
Add/Subtract the Real Part and add
the imaginary part
Simplify

13

Adding and Subtracting Complex Numbers


Ex: (1 2i ) (3 3i)
(1 3) (2i 3i )
2 5i

Ex: (2 3i ) (3 7i )
(2 3) (3i 7i )
1 4i

Ex: 2i (3 i ) (2 3i )
(3 2) (2i i 3i )

1 2i

Your Turn

Add (7 -2i) + (-3 + i)

Subtract (8 + 6i) (8 6i)

15

Objective

To multiply and to divide complex


numbers

16

Multiplying Complex Numbers


Multiplication of Complex numbers follows FOIL number

Ex: i (3 i )
3i i 2

3i (1)

1 3i
Ex:2i(3+2i)

Ex: (2 3i )(6 2i )
12 4i 18i 6i 2
12 22i 6(1)

12 22i 6

6 22i

Some more examples

(3i)(-5+2i)

(-6+i)(-6-i)

18

(7i)(3i)

(2 3i)( 4 + 5i)

Your Turn

19

Objective

To divide two complex numbers using


conjugate

20

Conjugate of a complex number

Number pairs that are the form a + bi


and a bi are conjugate pairs
Ex: 4 + 5i and 4 5i

What is the conjugate of -3 2i?

21

Dividing Complex Numbers


Multiply

numerator and denominator by the


conjugate of the denominator

3i
3i 5 2i

5 2i
5 2i 5 2i
15i 6i 2

25 4i 2
6 15i
6 15

i

Divide

9 + 12i
3i

23

Dividing Complex Numbers

5 - 2i
3 + 4i

24

Your Turn

2 + 3i
1 4i

25

Your Turn

Turn to page 253 and answer the


problems 18 26 in your notebooks.
