I don't know if your calculator would be able to add complex numbers together. However, complex number addition is defined as follows:

z=a+ib, w=c+id

z+w=(a+c) + i(b+d)

i.e. You add the real parts to the real and the complex to the complex.

Mode 3 (to enter complex number calculations)

54i /(9+6i)

=

2.769etc

2nd F <-,->

To enter i press the "a b/c" key
