Complex Number Definitions and Formulas

Complex numbers are written as a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit where i^2 = -1. The complex conjugate of a + bi is a - bi. Addition and subtraction of complex numbers follows the same rules as real numbers, where you add or subtract the real and imaginary parts separately. Multiplication of complex numbers is (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i, and division is the multiplication of the first number by the conjugate of the second over the magnitude squared.

Definitions:

A complex number is written as a+bi where a and b are real numbers an i, called the
imaginary unit, has the property that i2=1.
The complex numbers z=a+bi and z=abi are called complex conjugate of
each other.

Formulas:
Equality of complex numbers
a+bi=c+dia=c
and b=d
Addition of complex numbers
(a+bi)+
(c+di)=(a+c)+
(b+d)i
Subtraction of complex numbers
(a+bi)
(c+di)=(ac)+
(bd)i
Multiplication of complex numbers
(a+bi)(c+di)=(acbd
)+(ad+bc)i
Division of complex numbers
