- Definition of complex numbers: Complex numbers are of the form a + bi, where i is the square root of -1.
- Algebraic form: A complex number z is in the form z = a + bi, where a and b are real numbers.
- Conjugate and properties: The conjugate of a complex number changes the sign of its imaginary part; the real part of z is a, and the imaginary part is b.
- Equivalent forms: Complex numbers can also be expressed in exponential form, z = |z|(cos θ + i sin θ), where |z| is the module of the complex number and θ is its argument.
- Equation solving: To solve a quadratic complex equation az² + bz + c = 0, the quadratic formula is used: z = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a).
