Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their
real parts are equal and their imaginary parts are
equal.
 1. Example : Equating Two Complex Numbers
Find the values of x and y that make the equation
4x + 10i = 2 – (4y)i true .

2. Find the conjugate
The solutions and are related.
These solutions are a complex conjugate pair.
Their real parts are equal and their imaginary
parts are opposites. The complex conjugate of
any complex number a + bi is the complex
number a – bi.
If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has
nonreal roots, those roots are complex conjugates.

Helpful Hint
When given one complex root, you can always
find the other by finding its conjugate.

Complex Numbers Day 1
You can see in the graph of f(x) = x2 + 1 below
that f has no real zeros. If you solve the
corresponding equation 0 = x2 + 1, you find
that x = ,which has no real solutions.

However, you can find solutions if you

define the square root of negative
numbers, which is why imaginary
numbers were invented. The
imaginary unit i is defined
as . You can use the imaginary
unit to write the square root of
any negative number.
A complex number is a
number that can be written
in the form a + bi, where a
and b are real numbers and
i= . The set of real
numbers is a subset of the
set of complex numbers C.

Every complex number has a real part a and an

imaginary part b.

Adding and subtracting complex numbers is
similar to adding and subtracting variable
expressions with like terms. Simply combine the
real parts, and combine the imaginary parts.
The set of complex numbers has all the
properties of the set of real numbers. So you
can use the Commutative, Associative, and
Distributive Properties to simplify complex
number expressions.
 Example 3A: Adding and Subtracting Complex
Numbers
Add or subtract. Write the result in the form
a + bi.

(4 + 2i) + (–6 – 7i)

(4 – 6) + (2i – 7i) Add real parts and imaginary

parts.
–2 – 5i
Example 3B: Adding and Subtracting Complex
Numbers
Add or subtract. Write the result in the form
a + bi.

(5 –2i) – (–2 –3i)

(5 – 2i) + 2 + 3i Distribute.

(5 + 2) + (–2i + 3i) Add real parts and imaginary

parts.
7+i
You can multiply complex numbers by using
the Distributive Property and treating the
imaginary parts as like terms. Simplify by
using the fact i2 = –1.
 Example 5A: Multiplying Complex Numbers

Multiply. Write the result in the form a + bi.

–2i(2 – 4i)

–4i + 8i2 Distribute.

–4i + 8(–1) Use i2 = –1.

–8 – 4i Write in a + bi form.
 Example 5B: Multiplying Complex Numbers

Multiply. Write the result in the form a + bi.

(3 + 6i)(4 – i)

12 + 24i – 3i – 6i2 Multiply.

12 + 21i – 6(–1) Use i2 = –1.

18 + 21i Write in a + bi form.

The imaginary unit i can be raised to higher powers
as shown below.

Helpful Hint
Notice the repeating pattern in each row of the
table. The pattern allows you to express any
power of i as one of four possible values: i, –1,
–i, or 1.
 Example 6B: Evaluating Powers of i

− b  b 2 − 4ac
Solve using the quadratic formula x =
2a

Find the value of the discriminant and determine the number of real-number solutions for each quadratic equation. The
discriminant is the expression under the radical sign.

Therefore, the discriminant is b 2 − 4ac and is used to determine the nature of the quadratic equation.

1. If the discriminant is positive then the quadratic equation will have 2 real solutions.

2. If the discriminant is zero, then the quadratic equation will have 1 real solution

3. If the discriminant is negative, then the quadratic equation will have 2 imaginary solutions.

Find the value of the discriminant and determine the nature of the solutions. Then solve.

25. Farmer Curtis is going to build a rectangular pen in his pasture as a holding lot for his cows. He has 1000
feet of fencing and plans to use the river as one side of the pen. What dimensions will give Mr. Curtis the
greatest area? What is that area?

26. (bonus) An open box is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard by removing a square from
each corner with a side of 8 inches and then turning up the edges. The resulting box is to have a
volume of 500 cubic inches. Find the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard.

27. Mrs. Zhong is planting a rectangular garden in her backyard. She bought 200 feet of fencing to use to
block off the garden. She plans to use the house as one side of the garden. Find the dimensions that would
maximize the area. What is the maximum area?

14. (bonus)The human cannonball is an act where a performer is launched through the air.
The height of the performer can be modeled by h(x) = -0.007x2 + x + 20, where h is the
height in feet and x is the horizontal distance traveled in feet. The circus act is considering a
flight path directly over the main tent.

a. If the performer wants at least 5 ft of vertical height

clearance, how tall can the tent be?

b. How far from the central pole should the “cannon” be

placed?
