1. a+bi: There is a real and an imaginary part to a complex number. A is the real part and i is the imaginary (complex number). Complex numbers are graphed on a complex coordinate plane. i^2=-1 Does that make sense??? If so, I will try to move on to question 2.

@ladiesman217 does this make sense?

OpenStudy (ladiesman217):

ya

2. basically, the complex number and its conjugate (when multiplied) equal a real number.

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

In other words, the product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number.

OpenStudy (ladiesman217):

ok

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

3. Once again, the complex number multiplied by the conjugate equals a real number. This helps to solve any equation that utilizes complex numbers. Hope this helps :)

OpenStudy (ladiesman217):
