Complex Numbers:Multiplying, Dividing, Graphing and Absolute Value Notes 16 - Section 4.6 b
Essential Learnings • Students will understand and be able to perform basic operations with complex numbers. • Students will understand and be able to graph complex numbers and find the absolute value.
Summary of Complex Numbers Complex numbers: numbers that have areal part and animaginary part. Imaginary number (i) is defined as:
Multiplying Complex Numbers Same as with variables except Example 1:
Example 2 Simplify the complex number.
Example 3 Simplify the complex number.
Example 4 Simplify the complex number.
Example 5 Simplify the complex number.
Class Problems Simplify the complex numbers.
No imaginary numbers in the denominator! Use conjugates to get a real number in the denominator. Dividing Complex Numbers
Complex Conjugates • Two complex numbers of the form: • The product of complex conjugates is always a real number.
Example 6 - Dividing Write the expression in standard form.
Example 7 - Dividing Write the expression in standard form.
Class Problems Write the expression in standard form.
Graphing Complex Numbers Real Number Complex Number Coordinate Plane Coordinate Plane
Absolute Value of a Complex Number Absolute value is the distance from a number to zero on a number line. Absolute value of a complex is the distance from the complex number to the origin in the complex plane.
Absolute Value of The absolute value of a complex number is denoted z.
Example 8 Find the absolute value of the complex number.
Example 9 Find the absolute value of the complex number.
Example 10 Find the absolute value of the complex number.
Class Problems Find the absolute value of the complex numbers.
