Real numbers + Imaginary numbers

PRECALCULUS I

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.

Definition of 1

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

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

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

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

Addition & Subtraction: Complex Numbers

(3 + 2i ) + (-7 - 5i )

= (3 + -7) + (2 + -5 )I

= -4 - 3i

(-6 + 9i ) - (4 - 3i )

= (-6 - 4) + (9 + 3 )i

= -10 + 12i

Example: Addition & Subtraction

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.

Complex Conjugates

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

Example: Complex Conjugates

If a is a positive number, the principal square root of the

negative number -a is defined as

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Dr. Claude S. MooreDanville Community

PRECALCULUS I

If f (x) is a polynomial of

degree n, where n > 0,

then f has at least one root (zero)

in the complex number system.

The Fundamental Theorem

If f (x) is a polynomial of degree n

where n > 0, then f has precisely n linear factors in the complex

number system.

Linear Factorization Theorem

Let f(x) be a polynomial function with real number coefficients.

If a + bi, where b 0,

is a root of the f(x),

the conjugate a - bi

is also a root of f(x).

Complex Roots in Conjugate Pairs

Every polynomial of degree n > 0 with real coefficients can be

written as the product of linear and quadratic factors with real coefficients where the quadratic

factors have no real roots.

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)

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 1: Graph

1. Graph will not cross vertical asymptote.

VERTICAL asymptote:

q(x) = x - 2 = 0 yields x = 2 V.A.

EXAMPLE 2

2. Graph may cross horizontal asymptote.f(x) = 5x / (x2 + 1)

If n < m, y = 0 is HORIZONTAL asymptote.

Since n = 1 is less than m = 2, the graph of f(x) has y = 0 as H.A.

3. Graph may cross slant asymptote.f(x) = x3 / (x2 + 2)

Since n = 3 is one more than m = 2, the graph of f(x) has a slant asymptote.

Long division yields y = x as S.A.
