The complex number system 3 by i and call it the imaginary unit. To specify a direction, we give the angle q, measured counterclockwise up from the xaxis to the line segment containing the origin and the complex number. Notice that the absolute value of a real number gives the distance of the number from \0\, while the absolute value of a complex number gives the distance of the number from the origin, \0, 0\. Well use the product formula we developed in the section on multiplication. The complex conjugate of z, which is written as z, is found by changing the sign of every iin z.
