Investigation: Complex Arithmetic
Investigation: Applying Complex Numbers
When working with complex numbers, the rules are similar to those you use when working with real numbers.
Part 1: Add these complex numbers. (Hint: it’s just like adding like terms)
a. (2 – 4i) + (3 + 5i) b. (7 + 2i) + (-2 + i)
c. (2 – 4i) – (3 + 4i) d. (4 -4i) – (1 – 3i)
Part 2: Now multiply these binomials. Express your products in the form a + bi. (Hint: Use FOIL, use the fact that i2 = -1, and then combine like terms)
a. (2 – 4i)(3 + 5i) b. (7 + 2i)(-2 + i)
c. (2 – 4i)2 d. (4 – 4i)(1 -3i)
Part 3: The conjugate of a + bi is a – bi. Let’s see what happens when we add or subtract them together.
a. (2 – 4i) + (2 + 4i) b. (7 + 2i) + (7 – 2i)
c. (2 – 4i)(2 + 4i) d. (-4 + 4i)(-4 – 4i)
State what happens when we multiply (or add) with conjugates: ______________________________
Part 4: Recall rationalizing the denominator with radicals
[pic]
We will use a similar technique to change the complex denominator to a real number by using conjugates. Once you have a real number in the denominator, divide to get an answer in the form a + bi. (Hint: Multiply the conjugate of the denominator to the top and bottom part of the fraction. FOIL the top and bottom and simplify. Then simplify the fraction itself.)
a. [pic] b. [pic]
c. [pic] d. [pic]
