1. How do I write a complex number if the real part is 0?
If the real part of a complex number is 0, the number is called a pure imaginary number.
e.g. 0 + 3i = 3i which is a pure imaginary number
2. How do I write a complex number if the imaginary part is 0?
If the imaginary part of a complex number is 0, the number will be a real number.
e.g. 3 + 0i = 3 which is a real number
3. How do I know if two complex numbers are EQUAL?
Two complex numbers are only equal if the real parts are the same and the imaginary parts are the same.
e.g. If 3 + yi = x + 4i then x = 3 and y = 4
