Operations of complex numbers
1) Addition of complex numbers
( a bi ) ( c di ) ( a c) (b d )i
example : (2 3i ) ( 5 7i ) 3 4i
2) Multiplication of complex numbers
( a bi )( c di ) ( ac adi bci bdi 2 )
( a bi )( c di ) ac ( ad bc)i bd ( 1)
( a bi )( c di ) ( ac bd ) (bc ad )i
example :
( 2 3i ) (1 5i ) 2(1) 3( 5) 3(1) ( 2)( 5) i
( 2 3i ) (1 5i ) 13 13i
3) Division of complex numbers
The division of complex number is performed
by multiplying the numerator and denominator
by the conjugate of the denominator.
( a bi ) ( a bi ) c di
( c di ) ( c di ) c di
