Complex Numbers

The square root of negative one, which we now call the imaginary unit, was once thought to be an absurd notion. However, through the diligent studies of open-minded mathematicians, it was shown that the real numbers were actually just one part of a larger set of numbers known as the complex numbers, the other part being the imaginary numbers. Please direct all questions about these surprisingly useful and applicable numbers into this category.

What mathematician introduced complex numbers?

Gerolamo Cardano is an Italian mathematician who introduced complex numbers. Complex numbers are those that can be expressed in the form of a+bi where a and b represent real numbers.

What is the answer of the missing operations in 9 9 9 9 equals 9?

Well, there is doubtlessly more than one way to get from 9999 to 9, but the most direct way would be, 9999 - 9990 = 9.

How do you find the tangent of an imaginary number?

The answer is relatively simple if you know hyperbolic functions.

Suppose x is real so that ix is an imaginary number.

Then tanh x = -i*tan(ix)

So tan(ix) = (tanh x )/-i = i*tanh x

= i * sinh x/csh x = i*(ex - e-x)/(ex + e-x) = i*(1 - e-2x)/(1 + e-2x)

What is the conjagate of 6-2i?

It is 6+2i. But -6-2i will also serve.

Why can't we add complex number in polar form?

You can, but the process is slightly complicated, because addition in the Complex field is like vector addition.

If z1 = (r1, a1), and If z2 = (r2, a2)

Then, if z = (r, a)

r = sqrt(r12 + r22)

and

a = arctan[(r1sina1 + r2sina2)/(r1cosa1 + r2cosa2)]

What are pure imaginary numbers?

complex numbers with no real part
if any complex number z can be written a + i b
then pure imaginary numbers have a=0 and b not equal to 0

Is the square root of -24 rational?

No. The square root of -24 isn't even real, let alone rational because the square root of any negative number is going to be an imaginary number.

What does 360 million written in number terms look like?

It is: 360,000,000 or as 3.6*108 in scientific notation

Is every complex nberan imaginary number?

No. A complex number consists of a real part and a imaginary part. If the real part equals zero, there is only the imaginary left and you could therefor argue that it is an imaginary number (or else it would still be a complex number -with a real part=0)

What is 3000000 in number?

It is three million or 3.0*106 in scientific notation

What number is the additive identity in the set of real numbers?

Zero is the additive identity in the set of real numbers; when you add zero to any number, the number does not change its identity.

How do you simplify 4i 3i?

Assume we have the product of these terms. Multiply these terms altogether to get 12i². Make note that i = √-1, i² = -1, i³ = -i and i⁴ = 1. Then, 12i² = 12(-1) = -12.

That is the answer to the question.

What complex number lies below the real axis and to the right of the imaginary axis?

Complex numbers whose polar representation is (r, theta) where 3*pi/2 < theta < 2*pi.

How do you express a number in scientific notation's and scientific notation's to decimal notation's?

Assuming x is your number, x * 10^n = x moved n decimal places.

When n is positive, move the decimal point n places to the right.

When n is negative, move the decimal point n places to the left.

When n is 0, do nothing.

What is complex solution?

How many rotation symmetry does a diamond have?

A diamond has two rotation symmetry. It is possible to have a diamond that does have four of rotation symmetry.

Can you divide an imaginary number by a real number?

an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks
