4.5 Complex NumbersObjectives:1. Write complex numbers in standard form.2. Perform arithmetic operations on complex numbers.3. Find the conjugate of a complex number.4. Simplify square roots of negative numbers.5. Find all solutions of polynomial equations.
Imaginary & Complex NumbersThe imaginary unit is defined as Imaginary numbers can be written in the
form bi where b is a real number.A complex number is a sum of a real and
imaginary number written in the form a + bi.Any real number can be written as a complex
number:
Example: 2 = 2 + 0i , −3 = −3 + 0i

iii Since these groups are the same but with opposite signs they are conjugates of each other. The middle terms always cancel with conjugates.

Powers of i
This pattern of {i, −1, −i, 1} will continue for even higher patterns.A shortcut to evaluating higher powers requires you to memorize this pattern, but it is not necessary to evaluate them.

Method 1:
1. If the exponent is odd, first “break off” an i from the original term.
2. Rewrite the even exponent as a power of i2 (divide it by 2).
3. Replace the i2 with −1.
4. Evaluate the power on −1. Even exponents make it positive and odd exponents keep it negative.
5. Multiply what is left back together.
Example #4Powers of iFind the following:A. i73
Method 2:
1. Use long division and divide the exponent by 4. Always use 4 which is the four possible values of the pattern {i, −1, −i, 1}.
2. The remainder represents the term number in the sequence.

For this problem the remainder is 1 which means the answer is the first term in the sequence {i, −1, −i, 1} which is i.

i
This time it isn’t necessary to “break off” any i because the exponent is already even.

If the remainder is 0 this indicates that the value is the 4th term in the sequence {i, −1, −i, 1} since you can’t have a remainder of 4 when dividing by 4.
Therefore, the answer is 1.

This time it is necessary to “break off” an i because the exponent is odd.

If the remainder is 3 this indicates that the value is the 3rd term in the sequence {i, −1, −i, 1}.
Therefore, the answer is −i.

If the remainder is 2 this indicates that the value is the 2nd term in the sequence {i, −1, −i, 1}.
Therefore, the answer is −1.

Multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator, FOIL, and simplify.
Write your final answer as a complex number of the form a + bi.
