- (a) The complex conjugate of 3+4i is 3+4i = ______________. (b) (3+4i)(3+4i) = ________________.arrow_forwardFractals Complex numbers are fundamental in the creation of the intricate geometric shape shown below, called a fractal. The process of creating this image is based on the following sequence of steps, which begins by picking any complex number, which we will call z. 1. Square z, and then add that result to z. 2. Square the result from step1, and then add it to z. 3. Square the result from step2, and then add it to z. If we begin with the complex number i, what is the result after performing steps 1, 2 and 3?arrow_forwardAs was mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, Jerome Cardan (Girolamo Cardano) was unable to solve certain equations because he did not know how to interpret the square root of a negative number. His work set the stage for thc arrival of complex numbers Research the history of complex numbers. How were the works of Rafael Bombelli, Jean Robert Argand, Lconhard Euler, and Abraham de Moivre significant in the development of complex numbers? Write a paragraph or to about your findings.arrow_forward
