One can think of them as an ordered pair of numbers. Complex numbers helped earlier mathematicians deal with the problem of taking the square root of a negative number. A complex number takes the form a + b*sqrt(-1), where a and b are real numbers.
Numbers that can be written in the for a + b, for example, 2.7 + 8.9i, where a and b are real numbers and i = .
Numbers composed of a real number part and an imaginary number part.
A number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is an imaginary number.
Numbers that have the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers and i is an imaginary number.
Numbers that have the form a + bi where a and b are real numbers and i satisfies the equation i2 = -1. Multiplication is denoted by ( a + bi )( c + di ) = ( ac - bd ) + ( ad + bc ) i , and addition is denoted by ( a + bi ) + ( c + di ) = ( a + c ) + ( b + d ) i .
