What is imaginary number?
● A real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i
● The square roots of negative one
● √-1
● Symbol: i
Graphing Imaginary Numbers
● The vertical axis is the R (real number) while the horizontal axis is the i
(imaginary number)
Simplify imaginary number expression
● Complex number
○ the numbers that are expressed in the form of a+bi
■ 2+3i
● Additive inverse
○ changing the sign of the number and adding it to the original number to
get an answer equal to 0
■ -2-3i
● Complex conjugate
○ another complex number which has the same real part as the original
complex number and the imaginary part has the same magnitude but
opposite sign
■ 2-3i
● Absolute value
■ 2+3i
