About Operations with Complex Numbers:
A complex number is of the form: a + bi. In our lesson, we learned about adding complex numbers, subtracting complex numbers, multiplying complex numbers, and dividing complex numbers. We also learned how to rationalize a complex binomial denominator using complex conjugates.
Test Objectives
- Demonstrate the ability to add and subtract complex numbers
- Demonstrate the ability to multiply complex numbers
- Demonstrate the ability to divide complex numbers
- Demonstrate the ability to rationalize a complex binomial denominator
