Lesson 's Glossary: Complex
Number: Number of the form a + bi, where the real part is
a and the imaginary part is bi; both a and b
are real numbers and i is the square root of -1.
Complex number plane: A plane with
perpendicular number lines, where the horizontal is the real part of
a complex number and the vertical one is the imaginary part.
Conjugates: Binomials in the form a√(b)
+c√(d) and a√(b) +c√(d) for which a, b, c, and d are rational
numbers.
i It is the imaginary unit. The
one to indicate the imaginary part of a complex number. i is
the square root of -1.
Imaginary Number: A number in the form
of bi, where i2 = -1 and thus i is
the square root of -1.
Real number: Any number rational
or irrational, with exception of the imaginary numbers all numbers
are real numbers.
