Complex Number System

This document introduces complex numbers and their arithmetic operations. Complex numbers are written in the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. To add complex numbers, add the real parts and imaginary parts separately. To multiply complex numbers, use the distributive property and simplify. To divide complex numbers, multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator. The document provides examples of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers.

Introduction to Complex Numbers

Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying


And Dividing Complex Numbers
SPI 3103.2.1 Describe any number in the complex number system.
Complex Numbers (a + bi)

Natural (Counting) Numbers

Imaginary #’s
Complex Numbers are written in
the form a + bi, where a is the real
part and b is the imaginary part.

a + bi

imaginary part
When adding complex numbers,
add the real parts together and
add the imaginary parts together.

(3 + 7i) + (8 + 11i)
real part

11 + 18i
When subtracting complex numbers,
be sure to distribute the subtraction
sign; then add like parts.

(5 + 10i) – (15 – 2i)


5 + 10i – 15 + 2i
–10 + 12i
When multiplying complex numbers,
use the distributive property and
simplify.
(3 – 8i)(5 + 7i)
15 + 21i – 40i – 56i 2

15 – 19i + 56 Remember,
i2 = –1

71 – 19i
To divide complex numbers, multiply
the numerator and denominator by
the complex conjugate of the
complex number in the denominator
of the fraction.

7 + 2i The complex conjugate of


3 – 5i 3 – 5i is 3 + 5i.

Try These.

4. (19 – i) + (4 + 15i)
Try These.
1. (3 + 5i) – (11 – 9i) -8 + 14i
2. (5 – 6i)(2 + 7i) 52 + 23i
3. 2 – 3i –14 – 31i
