A complex number written in standard form is a number
a  bi where a and b are real numbers.
a is the real part and bi is the imaginary part.

To add/subtract complex numbers, add/subtract their real parts and their imaginary parts
separately.
To multiply complex numbers, use the distributive property or FOIL as normal.

Voltage Applications.
Voltage= I* Z, where I – is the current and Z- total impedance
Find the total impedance and voltage for each problem is the circuit has a current of 3-2i.
a) Z=
