What you should learn• How to use the imaginary unit i to write
complex numbers• How to add, subtract, and multiply complex
numbers• How to use complex conjugates to write the
quotient of two complex numbers in standard form
• How to use the Quadratic Formula to find complex solutions to quadratic equations.

Definition of Square Root
If a2 = n then a is a square root of n.42 = (4)(4) = 16
4 is a square root of 16(-4)2 = (-4)(-4) = 16
-4 is a square root of 16
What is the square root of -16?
Whatever it is it is not on the real number line.

Definition of a Complex Number• If a and b are real numbers, the number a + bi
is a complex number, and it is said to be written in standard form.
• If b = 0 then the number a + bi = a is a real number.
• If b ≠ 0, then the number a + bi is called an imaginary number.
• A number of the form bi, where b ≠ 0 is called a pure imaginary number.

Equality of Complex numbers
If a + bi = c + di, then a = c and b = d.
