Identify the subgroup of Complex numbers a number belongs to.
Now, watch the video below to review the different sets of Complex numbers. You
can print out these notes to follow along and keep notes to organize your
thoughts.
First, try to define the following subgroups of the Complex Numbers. You should
include examples for each (you may even want to take a sneak peak at the
problems at the bottom of the page and use some of these as examples!)
and descriptions of how to tell what the smallest set the number belongs
to.
Nonreal Complex:
Pure Imaginary:
Not a Complex Number:
The Real Numbers are just a part of the Complex Numbers, so we still have the
subgroups from Objective 1. Now we will look at how all of these subgroups are
related. Like before, try to classify the following numbers based on these
definitions.
Choose all of the following numbers that are Pure Imaginary numbers.
Think about what it could mean to be Pure Imaginary as opposed to Complex.
Choose all of the following numbers that are Nonreal Complex numbers.
Think about what it could mean to be ”nonreal” and still be Complex.
Choose all of the following numbers that are Complex numbers.
What does it mean to be a Complex number? What numbers are not Complex?
Choose all of the following numbers that are Not a Complex numbers.
What does it mean to be a Complex number? What numbers are not Complex?
Like Objective 1, remember to reduce first, then decide the smallest
subgroup the number belongs to!
Note: This part of the homework will change each time you click
“Another”. You can keep clicking “Another” to practice seeing these more
difficult numbers to classify.
Which of the following is the smallest set of Complex numbers that belongs
to?
To work around current Xronos issues, input the corresponding number for the correct
set. Rational - 0 Irrational - 1 Nonreal Complex - 2 Pure Imaginary - 3 Not a Complex Number - 4
Remember that the only way (we know) to not be Complex is to divide be 0.
Otherwise, all other numbers are Complex.
