The square root of a negative real number is not a real number.
Thus, we introduce imaginary numbers by letting
i =
So i 2 = -1, i 3 = - i , and i 4 = +1.

Since i 2 = -1, i 3 = - i , and i 4 = +1,
a simplified answer should contain no exponent of i larger than 1.
Example: i 21 = i 20 i 1 = (+1)( i ) = i
Example: i 35 = i 32 i 3 = (+1)( - i ) = - i
NOTE: 21/4 = 5 with r = 1 and35/4 = 8 with r = 3.
Example: Simplifying i n

For real numbers a and b,the number
a + bi
is a complex number.
If a = 0 and b 0, the complex number bi is an imaginary number.
Definition of Complex Number
![Page 5: 1 Complex Numbers Real numbers + Imaginary numbers Dr. Claude S. Moore Danville Community College PRECALCULUS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5519cee5550346443e8b49af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Two complex numbers
a + bi and c + di,
written in standard form,
are equal to each other
a + bi = c + di
if and only if (iff) a = c and b = d.
Equality of Complex Numbers
![Page 6: 1 Complex Numbers Real numbers + Imaginary numbers Dr. Claude S. Moore Danville Community College PRECALCULUS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5519cee5550346443e8b49af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
If (a + 7) + bi = 9 i, find a and b.
Since a + bi = c + di
if and only if (iff) a = c and b = d,
a + 7 = 9 and b = -8.
Thus, a = 2 and b = -8.
Example: Equality
![Page 7: 1 Complex Numbers Real numbers + Imaginary numbers Dr. Claude S. Moore Danville Community College PRECALCULUS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5519cee5550346443e8b49af/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Two complex numbers
a + bi and c + di
are added (or subtracted) by adding (or subtracting) real number parts and
imaginary coefficients, respectively.
(a + bi ) + (c + di ) = (a + c) + (b + d )i
(a + bi ) (c + di ) = (a c) + (b d )i

= (3 + -7) + (2 + -5 )I
= -4 - 3i
(-6 + 9i ) - (4 - 3i )

Each complex number of the form
a + bi
has a conjugate of the form
a bi .NOTE: The product of a complex number
and its conjugate is a real number.
(a bi )(a bi ) = a2 + b2.

The conjugate of -5 + 6i is -5 - 6i
The conjugate of 4 + 3i is 4 - 3iRecall: The product of a complex number
and its conjugate is a real number.
(a bi )(a bi ) = a2 + b2.
(-5 + 6i )(-5 - 6i ) = (-5)2 + (6)2
= 25 + 36 = 41

GUIDELINES FOR GRAPHING
1. Find f(0) for y-intercept.
2. Solve p(x) = 0 to find x-intercepts.
3. Solve q(x) = 0 to find vertical asymptotes.
4. Find horizontal or slant asymptotes.
5. Plot one or more points between and beyond x-intercepts and vertical asymptote.
6. Draw smooth curves where appropriate.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Graph will not cross vertical asymptote.f(x) = 2x / (x - 2)When q(x) = 0, f(x) is undefined.
2. Graph may cross horizontal asymptote.f(x) = 5x / (x2 + 1)
3. Graph may cross slant asymptote.f(x) = x3 / (x2 + 2)
![Page 26: 1 Complex Numbers Real numbers + Imaginary numbers Dr. Claude S. Moore Danville Community College PRECALCULUS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5519cee5550346443e8b49af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
EXAMPLE 1
1. Graph will not cross vertical asymptote.f(x) = 2x / (x - 2)When q(x) = 0, f(x) is undefined.
If q(x) = 0, x = a is VERTICAL asymptote.
q(x) = x - 2 = 0 yields x = 2 V.A.

EXAMPLE 2 continuedSolving Basic Equation
To solve the basic equation:Let x = 1 and solve for B.
Let x = 0 and use B = -1 from above to solve for A = 2.
2x - 3 = A(x - 1) + B
