Addition and Subtraction of Complex Numbers
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the addition and subtraction of complex numbers. Through vector translation and addition, the geometric meaning of complex number addition and subtraction is intuitively shown. The Vector and Translate commands are used to construct the addition and subtraction of complex numbers. Suitable for students at junior high school level and above to learn basic operations of complex numbers.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a coordinate plane with two complex numbers represented as vectors from the origin. Add a third complex number whose vector is the sum of the first two, and a fourth whose vector is the difference. Show addition by translating the first vector so its tail starts at the head of the second vector. Show subtraction by translating the second vector so its tail starts at the head of the first vector, then reversing its direction. Label all points and vectors clearly.
