Unit1: complex number system (HonAlg)
Mrs STROLE・2 minutes read
The text discusses the real number system, including rational and irrational numbers, as well as the introduction of the imaginary number "i" leading to complex numbers. Higher-level math courses explore the complex number system, combining real and imaginary components to form examples like 2 + 7i and 4 - 3i.
Insights
- The real number system consists of rational and irrational numbers, with rational numbers further divided into integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers.
- The introduction of imaginary numbers, represented by "i" as the square root of -1, leads to the formation of complex numbers when combined with real numbers, expressed as a + bi, where "a" is the real component and "b" is the imaginary component.

Understanding Number Systems: Real, Imaginary, Complex
- The real number system comprises irrational numbers, which cannot be expressed as fractions, and rational numbers, which can be written as fractions. Rational numbers are further categorized into integers (whole numbers and their negatives), whole numbers (excluding negatives), and natural numbers (positive integers).
- The introduction of the imaginary number system allows for the inclusion of the number "i," representing the square root of -1. When real numbers are combined with imaginary numbers, they form complex numbers, such as a + bi, where "a" represents the real number and "b" the imaginary number.
- In algebra 1, the focus is on the real number system, but higher-level math courses explore different number systems, including the complex number system.
- The complex number system includes examples like 2 + 7i, 3 - √2i, and 4 - 3i, where the real number and imaginary number components form a complex number.
- Simplifying expressions like √64 (8), √121 (11), √-81 (9i), cube root of -1 (-1), and √225 (15) helps classify numbers as rational, real, imaginary, and complex within the number system framework.
