Express in a%2Bbi%29 form:
%285%2F3+%2B+i%29 Multiply this expression by 3%2F3 to clear the fraction.
%283%2F3%29%285%2F3+%2B+i%29+=+%285%2B3i%29%2F3 or %281%2F3%29%285%2B3i%29

a+bi,,,,,,is an expression of a complex number
.
Real part (a) ,,,,complex part (b)
.
(5/3) + (1) i,,,,,,,shows (a) = (5/3) ,,,,,(b) =(1)
.
.
it is really a +/- bi,,,,,so just recognize real and complex in the
.
same way for a-bi as we did above for a+bi
.
.
Usually this is plotted on an x - y axis graph,
.
with x as the real part(a) and y as the imaginary part (b)
