Q & A

What is the significance of the imaginary unit 'i' in solving quadratic equations with negative discriminants?

The imaginary unit 'i' is used when the discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative. It allows for the computation of the square root of negative numbers. Specifically, √(-1) is defined as 'i', which is crucial in solving equations that would otherwise have no real solutions.

How can we express the square root of negative numbers like √(-4)?

The square root of a negative number like √(-4) can be written as √(4) * √(-1). Since √(4) = 2 and √(-1) = 'i', the result is 2i.

What is the result of raising 'i' to the power of 2?

'i' raised to the power of 2 equals -1. This is a fundamental property of the imaginary unit: i² = -1.

How do we calculate higher powers of 'i', such as i³ or i⁵?

To calculate powers of 'i', we use the fact that i² = -1. For i³, we calculate i² * i, which equals -i. For i⁵, we use i² * i² * i, which equals -i.

What is the standard form of a complex number?

A complex number is typically expressed in the form Z = a + bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'b' is the imaginary part of the complex number.

How do you identify the real and imaginary parts of a complex number?

In a complex number Z = a + bi, 'a' represents the real part and 'b' represents the imaginary part. For example, in Z = 2 + 3i, the real part is 2, and the imaginary part is 3.

What condition must a complex number satisfy to be classified as a pure imaginary number?

A complex number is pure imaginary if its real part is zero. This means the number is of the form Z = bi, where 'b' is a non-zero real number.

How are complex numbers represented on the Argand plane?

Complex numbers are represented on the Argand plane, with the real part plotted on the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the imaginary part plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis). For example, the complex number 2 + 3i would be plotted at the point (2, 3).

What is the conjugate of a complex number, and how is it represented?

The conjugate of a complex number Z = a + bi is denoted as Z* = a - bi. The conjugate is formed by keeping the real part the same and changing the sign of the imaginary part.

What happens when two complex numbers are equal?

When two complex numbers Z1 = Z2, it means their real parts and imaginary parts are equal. For example, if Z1 = a + bi and Z2 = c + di, then a = c and b = d.
