How do you combine complex numbers

The video tutorial explains the basic steps for combining complex numbers, focusing on addition and subtraction. It introduces complex numbers in the form of a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. The tutorial demonstrates how to combine real and imaginary parts separately, similar to combining like terms in algebra. Examples are provided to illustrate the process of adding and subtracting complex numbers, emphasizing the importance of handling negative signs carefully during subtraction.

What is the standard form of a complex number?

• a * bi

• a / bi

• a - bi

• a + bi

How do you combine the imaginary parts of complex numbers?

• By adding the coefficients

• By subtracting the coefficients

• By dividing the coefficients

• By multiplying the coefficients

When adding 5 + 6i and 2 + 3i, what is the result?

• 7 + 9i

• 3 + 3i

• 7 + 3i

• 5 + 9i

What should you be careful about when subtracting complex numbers?

• The order of addition

• The placement of the imaginary unit

• The negative sign

• The multiplication of coefficients

What is the result of subtracting 2 + 3i from 5 + 6i?

• 3 + 9i

• 7 + 3i

• 7 + 9i

• 3 + 3i
