| z | Re(z) | Im(z) |
|---|---|---|
Compare your reasoning
Write each value as , with real x and y. Then and . In particular, , and . The Teacher note emphasizes that the imaginary part is the real coefficient y, so it does not contain i: , not .
How did this question go?
Common mistakes
The imaginary part is the coefficient of i, not the whole imaginary term.
