So for problem number 56, we're looking at two situations addition of complex numbers.
00:10
And they're keeping this in their abstract forms.
00:14
So no concrete values.
00:18
And we're looking at the sum of complex numbers a plus bi and a minus bi compared with the graph of the difference.
00:34
Of these two complex numbers.
00:39
And hopefully we recognize that when we've got these opposite signs here, that these are called complex conjugates.
00:57
Complex conjugates, when you change the sign of the imaginary part.
01:03
So let's think back to when we are adding and subtracting.
01:11
Complex numbers.
01:14
It's almost like vectors here.
01:16
So if i plot the point a plus bi, right? that means i have maybe a positive real number.
01:25
And we're graphing this in the complex plane and a positive imaginary.
01:32
So maybe here is where that point a -b is for that a -plus b.
01:40
What's going to change is if we have the imaginary part negative is that's going to be the same distance a in the real direction but now we're going to be reflected across that real axis and we're going to be here okay so let's think about this in terms of maybe some vectors the modulus of each value there each complex number from the origin out to that point.

Now, if i have two vectors like this and i want to add them together, remember i would have to place these head to tail...
