Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-NUMBER-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \((2+3i)+(1-5i)\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(3-2i\)
Explanation
Add real parts (\(2+1=3\)) and imaginary parts (\(3-5=-2\)) separately.
Review the concept: Complex number
A complex number \(z\) is written with two reals, \(a\) and \(b\), and the imaginary unit \(i\), which satisfies \(i^2=-1\); \(a\) is its real part and \(b\) its imaginary part.
\[z=a+bi,\qquad a=\operatorname{Re}z,\ b=\operatorname{Im}z,\qquad i^2=-1\]
