REVIEW OF COMPLEX NUMBERS:


Introduction :

- Mathematician L.Euler named a number 'i' as Iota whose square is -1 ie i=√-1 .This Iota or i is defined as imaginery unit.

- It is because of i ,we can interpret the square root of a negative number as a product of a real number with i. example. √-9 =3i


Defination :

Any number that can be written in the form of a+ bi where a,b are real numbers and i=√-1 is called a complex number.

Operations and Examples :

- Addition:(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i. for example

( 3 + 4i ) + (5 + 6i ) = ( 3+5) + (4 +6) i = 8 + 10i

- Subtraction:(a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d).for example

( 3 + 4i ) - (5 + 6i ) = ( 3-5) + (4 -6) i = -2 - 2i

- Multiplication:(a + bi) (c + di) = ac + bci + adi + bd i^2 = (ac - bd) + (bc + ad).for example

 (3+ 4i) (5 + 6i) = 15 + 20i +18i + 24 i^2 = -9 + 38i
