imaginary numbers
How many pairs of integers (b,c) satisfy the equation
I see you have graph paper.
You must be plotting something

Re: imaginary numbers
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: imaginary numbers
Hi bobbym
Those numbers you posted aren't imaginary either...

Why not? What did I do wrong?

Re: imaginary numbers
Those are not imaginary numbers. They are complex!

Compute |5-12i|+|3-4i|.
I see you have graph paper.

Re: imaginary numbers
a) Suppose we graph every point z in the complex plane such that |z| = 4. What shape results?
b) What is the graph of the equation |z-2i| = 3

Re: imaginary numbers
Hi cooljackiec;
|5-12i|+|3-4i| = 13 + 5 = 18
