Complex Number (Standard Form)A number written in the form z = a + bi, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers and 'i' is the imaginary unit.z = 4512 + 7890i is a complex number with large integer components.
Real Part (Re(z))The component of a complex number that does not have the imaginary unit 'i' attached. In z = a + bi, the real part is 'a'.For the complex number z = 9876 - 1234i, the real part is Re(z) = 9876.
Imaginary Part (Im(z))The real number coefficient of the imaginary unit 'i'. In z = a + bi, the imaginary part is 'b'.For the complex number z = 9876 - 1234i, the imaginary part is Im(z) = -1234.
Imaginary Unit (i)The number whose square is -1. It is defined as i = √(-1).i² = -1

Core Formulas
Complex Number Addition
Let z₁ = a + bi and z₂ = c + di. Then, z₁ + z₂ = (a + c) + (b + d)i
This is the fundamental rule for adding any two complex numbers. To find the sum, add the real parts (a and c) to get the new real part, and add the imaginary parts (b and d) to get the new imaginary part.
Commutative Property of Complex Addition
z₁ + z₂ = z₂ + z₁
The order in which you add two complex numbers does not change the result. This is useful for rearranging terms to simplify calculations.
