Introduction to Complex Numbers

A complex number is a number that can be written in the form:

z=a+bi

Where:

  • a is the real part,
  • b is the imaginary part, and
  • i is the imaginary unit, defined as i2=1.

Complex numbers extend the idea of real numbers and are used to solve equations that do not have real solutions. For example, the equation x2+1=0 has no real solution, but in the system of complex numbers, we can express the solution as x=i and x=i.


Example 1: Adding Complex Numbers

Given two complex numbers z1=3+4i and z2=12i, find their sum.

Solution:

Step 1: Add the real parts:
3+1=4

Step 2: Add the imaginary parts:
4i+(2i)=2i

Thus, the sum is:
z1+z2=4+2i


Example 2: Subtracting Complex Numbers

Given two complex numbers z1=5+7i and z2=23i, find their difference.

Solution:

Step 1: Subtract the real parts:

Step 2: Simplify each term:
2(4)=8
2(i)=2i
3i(4)=12i
3i(i)=3i2

Step 3: Recall that i2=1, so:
3i2=3
