Chapter 4: Complex Numbers: Z Z y y X

1. A complex number z is represented as z = a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. 2. Basic operations on complex numbers include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, powers, and conjugates. 3. To rationalize the denominator of a complex fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. 4. Solving equations involving complex numbers may require setting the real and imaginary parts equal to solve for variables.
