In this Section, we shall develop the algebra of complex numbers.
Addition of two complex numbers
Let and be any two complex numbers.Then the sum is defined as follows:
which is also a complex number.
Example: Let and . Hence
The addition of complex numbers satisfy the following properties:
Closure law
The sum of two complex numbers is a complex number. is a complex number for all complex numbers and .
Commutative law
For any two complex numbers and ,
Associative law
For any three complex numbers ,
Existence of additive identity
There exists the complex number (denoted as ) called the additive identity or the zero complex number, such that for every complex number ,
Existence of additive inverse
To every complex number , we have the complex number called the additive inverse or negative of . We observe that (the additive identity).
Difference of two complex numbers
Given any two complex numbers the difference is defined as follows
Example:
