• m + ni

What happens when you square a complex number x + iy?

• You get x^2 - y^2 - 2xyi

• You get x^2 + y^2 + 2xyi

• You get x^2 - y^2 + 2xyi

• You get x^2 + y^2

What are the equations formed from the real and imaginary parts of a complex number?

• x^2 + y^2 = 3, 2xy = 4

• x^2 - y^2 = 3, 2xy = 4

• x^2 - y^2 = 4, 2xy = 3

• x^2 + y^2 = 4, 2xy = 3

Why is it important to identify solutions as real when solving for x and y?

• To ensure the solutions are integers

• To avoid complex solutions

• To guarantee the existence of solutions

• To simplify the equations

What is the geometric representation of complex numbers on a diagram?

• As circles

• As vectors

• As points

• As lines

How are the arguments of complex numbers related when they are multiplied?

• They remain unchanged

What is the modulus of a complex number 2 + i?

• 5

• √5

• √3

• 3

What is the modulus of the original complex number 3 + 4i?

• 3

• √5

• 5

• 4

What is the relationship between the arguments of the roots and the original complex number?

• The argument of the root is double the original

• The argument of the root is half the original

• The argument of the root is unrelated to the original

• The argument of the root is the same as the original
