Part A — Concept Questions
What is i²?
EasyIn z = a + bi, what is "b" called?
EasyPart B — Formula & Application
Compute (6−3i) + (−2+5i).
MediumFind |z| for z = 5+12i.
MediumPart C — Problem Solving
Multiply (3+2i)(3−2i). (The result is purely real — enter just that number.)
MediumDivide (2+6i) by (2+i).
MediumPart D — Real-Life Application
Electrical engineers represent AC circuit impedance as a complex number. Which form makes it easiest to multiply two impedances (by simply multiplying magnitudes and adding angles)?
MediumA signal-processing engineer needs to compute a complex number raised to the 10th power quickly. Which tool makes this direct, rather than tediously multiplying it out 10 times?
MediumPart E — Challenge
Why are the nth roots of a complex number always evenly spaced around a circle?
HardSimplify i¹⁰⁰ using the 4-cycle pattern of powers of i, and give the result as a real number.
