options: Know there is a complex number i such that i^(2) = –1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.

Find the conjugate of a complex number; use conjugates to find moduli and quotients of complex numbers.

Use the relation i^(2) = –1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
