Complex quantities are points on a coordinate system; the horizontal axis is called the real numbers, the vertical axis, the imaginary numbers.
The point that represents a complex number can be expressed:
a) In rectangular coordinates, by specifying both coordinates, for example, 5 + 3i
b) In polar coordinates, you specify a distance from the origin, and an angle, for example, 10 (angle symbol) 30 degrees.
It turns out that addition and subtraction are easier with rectangular coordinates, whereas multiplication, division, and therefore also powers and roots, are easier with polar coordinates.
