Study Notes

Complex Numbers

A complex number (C.N.) is a number of the form a + ib, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers and 'i' is the imaginary unit, defined as i² = -1.
Imaginary numbers have the form bi, where b is a real number and b ≠ 0. Examples include -25i, 5i, 2i, i, -11i.
Complex numbers can be represented geometrically on a complex plane.
Complex numbers have polar and exponential forms.
De Moivre's Theorem applies to complex numbers.

Algebra of Complex Numbers

Multiplication: z₁z₂ = (a + ib)(c + id) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i, where z₁ = a + ib and z₂ = c + id.
Subtraction: z₁ - z₂ = (a - c) + i(b - d)
Examples: Calculations involving multiplication and subtraction of complex numbers are demonstrated.
Properties: Multiplication is commutative (z₁z₂ = z₂z₁) and associative ((z₁z₂)z₃ = z₁(z₂z₃)). Multiplication by 1 is the identity (1 * z = z).

Complex Equation Solution

A quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 has complex roots when the discriminant (b² - 4ac) is negative (D < 0).
Complex roots always appear in conjugate pairs (if p + iq is a root, then p - iq is also a root).
Complex roots of a given quadratic equation:
- Formula for solutions x: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a
Example showcasing a quadratic solution with complex roots
- b² - 4ac (discriminant) = 3(1 - 4√3i).
- Roots are complex because the discriminant (D) is negative.
- Calculation of the roots is demonstrated (x = (-b ±√D)/2a).
- The calculated roots are complex numbers.
