Complex and Imaginary Numbers

Simplifying Complex and imaginary Numbers

SWBAT: Define and use imaginary and complex numbers. Solve quadratic equations with complex roots.

Complex and imaginary Numbers: Simplifying

• An imaginary number is a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i, which is defined by its property i² = −1

​Multiplying Complex Numbers

​When Multiplying Complex Numbers, use the same procedures used when multiplying Polynomials.

​

​You may need to use the Distributive Property or Foil.

​

​

​Remember that i² = -1
