Working with Complex Numbers

Adding:
(a+bi) + (c+di) = (a+c) + (b+d)i

Multiplying:
Use FOIL
(a+bi)(c+di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi2
OR
(a+bi)(c+di) = (ac-bd) + (ad+bc)i

Conjugate:
Change the sign of i term to its opposite
Where ,
Note:
(a + bi)(a - bi) = a2 + b2

Properties of conjugate:

if w is nonzero

if and only if z is real

for any integer n

if z is non-zero

Division:
Multiply top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator

Absolute Value aka Modulus:
