Review of Complex Number

Defination

   Imaginary number comes to use when people want to refer to a number which could not be represented by any real number, 

such as the square root of a negative number. When we combine a real number and an imaginary number together, we get a complex number.

   We use i to represent $ sqrt(-1) $.
