Example :
x2 + 9 = 0
x2 = –9 x= ±√–9 x1= 3i
x2= -3i
Complex Numbers
a Complex Numbers is a combination of a real number
and an imaginary number in the form a + bi.
The real part is a, and
b is called the imaginary part.
If b = 0, the complex number is reduced to a real
number as a + 0i = a.
If a = 0, the complex number is reduced to bi, and it is
said that it is a pure imaginary number.
BASIC OPERATIONS
The four basic mathematical operations
are:
Addition (+)
Subtraction (–)
Multiplication (x)
Division (÷)
Addition
Addition is Adding two or more numbers
means to find their sum (total). The
symbol used for addition is '+'.
Example:
Find the sum of 9 and 8.
Solution:
9 + 8 = 17
Subtraction
Subtraction is Subtracting one number
from another number to find the
difference between them. The symbol
used for subtraction is '–'.
Example:
Subtract 9 from 16.
Solution:
16 – 9 = 7
Multiplication
Multiplication means times or repeated
addition. The symbol used for
multiplication is '×'. A product is the
result of the multiplication of two or
more numbers.
Example:
Calculate 765 × 9.
Solution:
Division
Division 'undoes' multiplication and
involves a number called the dividend
being 'divided' by another number called
the divisor. The symbol used for division
is '÷'.
Example:
Calculate 48÷6
Solution:
Powers
Index form
The notation 32 and 23 is known as index form. The small digit is
called the index number or power.
The index number tells you how many times to multiply the
numbers together.
When the index number is two, the number has been 'squared'.
When the index number is three, the number has been 'cubed'.
When the index number is greater than three you say that it is has
been multiplied 'to the power of'.
For example:
72 is 'seven squared‘,
33 is 'three cubed‘,
37 is 'three to the power of seven‘,
45 is 'four to the power of five'.
Square root and cube root
Square root
The opposite of squaring a number is called finding the square
root.
The symbol '√ ‘ (radical) means square root.
Example
The square root of 16 is 4 (because 42 = 4 × 4 = 16)
The square root of 25 is 5 (because 52 = 5 × 5 = 25)
The square root of 100 is 10 (because 102 = 10 × 10 = 100)
Cube root
The opposite of cubing a number is called finding the cube root.
Example
The cube root of 27 is 3 (because 3 × 3 × 3 = 27)
The cube root of 1000 is 10 (because 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000)
