How do you add two complex numbers?

Back

To add two complex numbers, add their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. For example, (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i.

How do you subtract two complex numbers?

Back

To subtract two complex numbers, subtract their real parts and their imaginary parts separately. For example, (a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i.

What is the product of two complex numbers?

Back

The product of two complex numbers (a + bi)(c + di) is given by ac + adi + bci + bdi^2, which simplifies to (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i.
