Lets see............
(a+ib)(a-ib) = a^2+iab-iab+b^2
= a^2 + b^2
a and b can be any values and a^2+b^2 will be real.

What are the similarities between vectors and complex numbers?
If you add two complex numbers, the resulting complex number is equivalent to the vector resulting from adding the two vectors. If you multiply two complex numbers, the resulting complex number is equivalent to the vector resulting from the cross product of the two vectors.
The sum of two complex numbers is always a complex number?
A "complex number" is a number of the form a+bi, where a and b are both real numbers and i is the principal square root of -1. Since b can be equal to 0, you see that the real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. Similarly, since a can be zero, the imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. So let's take two complex numbers: a+bi and c+di (where a, b, c, and d are real). We add them together and we get: (a+c) + (b+d)i The sum of two real numbers is always real, so a+c is a real number and b+d is a real number, so the sum of two complex numbers is a complex number. What you may really be wondering is whether the sum of two non-real complex numbers can ever be a real number. The answer is yes: (3+2i) + (5-2i) = 8. In fact, the complex numbers form an algebraic field. The sum, difference, product, and quotient of any two complex numbers (except division by 0) is a complex number (keeping in mind the special case that both real and imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers).
How do conjugate arrive at complex number?
Complex numbers form: a + bi where a and b are real numbers. The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi If you multiply a complex number by its conjugate, the product will be a real number, such as (a + bi)(a - bi) = a2 - (bi)2 = a2 - b2i2 = a2 - b2(-1) = a2 + b2
Sets of numbers which has the property that the product of any two numbers in the set is also a number in the set?
Complex numbers, Real numbers, Rational numbers, Integers, Natural Numbers, Multiples of an integer.
Is the product of two natural numbers always a natural number?
Yes. Natural numbers, or counting numbers, cannot produce non-natural numbers, or complex numbers, through methods of multiplication or addition. However 5 divided by 3 creates the complex number 1.666666.... So division of two naturals can produce a complex. Also 6 minus 10 creates -4 which is not a natural number.
Is -7 a complex number?
Yes, all real numbers are complex numbers.
What are considered complex numbers?
A complex number is any number that can be represented in the form of a+bi, the real numbers are a and b, the imaginary number is i. Complex numbers are used in scientific and engineering fields.
What is the product of a number and its inverse is 1?
That is the identity property of multiplication for all rational numbers, or all real numbers or all complex numbers except (in each case) for 0.
Is pi a complex number?
The set of real numbers are a subset of the set of complex numbers: imagine the complex plane with real numbers existing on the horizontal number line, and pure imaginary existing on the vertical axis. The entire plane (which includes both axes) is the set of complex numbers. So any real number (such as pi) will also be a complex number. But many people think of complex numbers as something that is "not a real number".
What is the difference between a complex number and a non real complex number?
Think of the complex numbers as points on a coordinate system. Instead of the usual x-axis you have the real numbers, instead of the y-axis, you have the imaginary numbers.The real numbers are on the horizontal axis.The imaginary numbers are on the vertical axis.The complex numbers are any number on the plane.The non-real complex are, of course, any complex numbers that are not on the real number axis - not on the horizontal axis.Think of the complex numbers as points on a coordinate system.

Rational and irrational numbers are complex numbers?
Rational and irrational numbers are real numbers. A complex number is represented by a+bi where a and b are real numbers. Zero is a real number therefore any real number is also complex whenever b=0
Is the product of two imaginary numbers always an imaginary number?
If you are talking about pure imaginary numbers (a complex number with no real part) then no. Example: bi times ci where b and c are real numbers equals b*c*i² = b*c*(-1) = -b*c, which is a real number, because b & c & -1 are all real numbers. If you're talking about multiplying two complex numbers (a + bi)*(c + di), then the product will be complex, but it could be real or imaginary, depending on the values of a, b, c, & d.
