INTRODUCTION
In this section we are going to use some elementary properties of complex numbers. Suppose z = a + ib denotes a complex number, where a and b are real and the symbol i is defined by i2 = −1. If
= a − ib is the conjugate of z, then the equality z =
or a + ib = a − ib implies that b = 0. In other words, if z =
, then z is a real number. In addition, it is easily verified that the product of a complex number
