Introduction to Complex Numbers

A complex number consists of a real part and an imaginary part, expressed in the form a + bi, where i is the imaginary unit defined as √−1. The document covers basic operations involving complex numbers, including multiplication, division, and the concept of complex conjugates, which are used to rationalize complex numbers. Additionally, it mentions the representation of complex numbers on an Argand diagram as position vectors.

Complex Number (Introduction)

A complex number is a number in the form

It consist of 2 parts, real number and imaginary number.

𝑎 + 𝑏𝑖
Imaginary Number
Imaginary number is introduced to solve the problem involve

These numbers were devised using an imaginary unit named .

𝑖=√ − 1
First 4 power of establish an important pattern.
Basic Operation of Complex Number

𝑧 1 =5+ 4 𝑖 𝑧 2=− 3 +6 𝑖 𝑧 3 =− 2 𝑖

Solve the following


Multiplication of Complex Number

𝑧 1 =5 + 4 𝑖𝑧 2 =− 3𝑧 𝑖=− 2 𝑖
+3

Solve the following


Complex Conjugate
Complex conjugate – change the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number.

Complex conjugate is denoted by or

𝑧 =5 + 4𝑧𝑖∗ = 5 − 4 𝑖

Complex conjugate is used to rationalise a complex number. The product of conjugate pairs will result in real
number.
Division of Complex Number
When a number is divided by a complex number, we have to rationalise the denominator by using complex conjugate.

𝑧 1 =5 + 4 𝑖𝑧 2 =− 3 + 𝑖

Solve the following


𝑧 1
𝑧 2
Argand diagram
Complex number can be illustrated as a position vector on Argand Diagram.
