Split-complex numbers, also known as hyperbolic numbers or null numbers, are a type of number that extends the real numbers similarly to how complex numbers extend them. They are defined as numbers of the form: \[ z = x + yj \] where \( x \) and \( y \) are real numbers, and \( j \) is a unit with the property that \( j^2 = 1 \).
