1. Definition
A number z=a+bi is complex, with real part a, imaginary part b and i²=−1; it corresponds to the point (a,b).
3. Properties & Laws
- b=0 real;
- b≠0 imaginary;
- a=0,b≠0 pure imaginary;
- Point in the complex plane.
4. Steps
- Enter a,b;
- Click "OK";
- Or click "Load Example".
5. Worked Examples
Example: a=3,b=4: z=3+4i (imaginary).
6. Common Pitfalls
Pure needs real part 0;
Imaginary part is b, not bi;
i²=−1.
