\n" ); document.write( "\"Standard form\" for complex numbers is \"a%2Bbi\" where \"a\" and \"b\" are \"real\" numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "If \"a\" or \"b\" is \"0\", you omit that part. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For example, if \"b=0\" you write \"a%2B0i\" as just \"a\", and if \"a=0\" \"0%2Bbi\" as just \"bi\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you are given \"-3%28i%2F2%29\" which is same as \"%28-3i%2F2%29\" or \"%28-3%2F2%29i\", so in your case \"a=0\" and standard form is \"%28-3%2F2%29i\"
\n" ); document.write( "
