You can see in the graph of f(x) = x2 + 1 below
that f has no real zeros. If you solve the
corresponding equation 0 = x2 + 1, you find
that x =
,which has no real solutions.
However, you can find solutions if you
define the square root of negative
numbers, which is why imaginary
numbers were invented. The
imaginary unit i is defined
as
. You can use the imaginary
unit to write the square root of
any negative number.

A complex number is a
number that can be written
in the form a + bi, where a
and b are real numbers and
i=
. The set of real
numbers is a subset of the
set of complex numbers C.
Every complex number has a real part a and an
imaginary part b.
Holt McDougal Algebra 2

Complex Numbers and Roots
Real numbers are complex numbers where b = 0.
Imaginary numbers are complex numbers where
a = 0 and b ≠ 0. These are sometimes called
pure imaginary numbers.
Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their
real parts are equal and their imaginary parts are
equal.

Complex Numbers and Roots
The solutions
and
are related.
These solutions are a complex conjugate pair.
Their real parts are equal and their imaginary
parts are opposites. The complex conjugate of
any complex number a + bi is the complex
number a – bi.
If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has
nonreal roots, those roots are complex conjugates.
Helpful Hint
When given one complex root, you can always
find the other by finding its conjugate.
