How do I write that a number is imaginary? Dumb, I know, but I forgot.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

i

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just write i for example 6i, or 7i, etc.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

yeaa!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All right, thanks. So now if I need to add it to something, say my number is5 and I need to add three, does it become 8i, or is it 5i + 3?

OpenStudy (hba):

Lets see some \[\omega,\omega^2,i\] complex and imaginary numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Eh?

OpenStudy (hba):

Now lets talk about then \[w=\frac{ -1+ i \sqrt{3} }{ 2 }\] \[w^2=\frac{ -1- i \sqrt{3} }{ 2 }\] and \[i=\sqrt{-1}\]

OpenStudy (hba):

Let's see how we get into this imaginary world \[\sqrt{4}=2\] but \[\sqrt{-4}=2i\]

OpenStudy (hba):

Lets talk about adding \[5i+3\neq8\] So your'e wrong. They will stay as they are You cannot add Real and imaginary number.

Perfect, the last bit more or less makes sense.
