The set of all numbers in the form a + bi with real numbers a and b, and i, the imaginary unit, is called the set of complex numbers. The standard form of a complex number is a + bi.

To add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers, we use the same methods that we use for binomial Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 3 Example: Adding and Subtracting Complex Numbers Perform the indicated operations, writing the result in standard form: a. (5 −2i) +(3 +3i) (5 =+3)i +(−2 +3)i 8 =+i b. (2 +6i) −(12 −i) 2 =+6i −12 +i (2 =−12) +(6 +1)i =−10+7i Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 4 Example: Multiplying Complex Numbers Find the product: a. 7i(2 −9i) b.
