Definition of a Complex Number

• If a and b are real numbers, the number a bi is
  a complex number, and it is said to be written in
  standard form.
• If b 0 then the number a bi a is a real
  number.
• If b ? 0, then the number a bi is called an
  imaginary number.
• A number of the form bi, where b ? 0 is called a
  pure imaginary number.
