Study Notes
- Complex numbers apply to business mathematics, useable in financial and economic models, notably in risk analysis, investment strategies, and market fluctuation contexts.
- A complex number is shown as z = a + bi.
- 'a' is the real part, representing measurable quantities like assets and profits.
- 'b' is the imaginary part, showing uncertain or fluctuating factors like market volatility and economic risks.
- 'i' is the imaginary unit, where i² = -1.
Basic Complex Number Operations
- Given z1 = a + bi and z2 = c + di:
- Addition is z1 + z2 = (a + c) + (b + d)i.
- Subtraction is z1 - z2 = (a - c) + (b - d)i.
- Multiplication presented as z1 × z2 = (a + bi)(c + di), equals (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i.
Division
- Division is shown as z1/z2 = (a + bi) / (c + di).
- Multiply the numerator/denominator by the conjugate of the denominator (c - di).
- Division result is: (ac + bd) + (bc - ad)i / (c² + d²).
Business Applications
- Complex numbers apply to investment and risk analysis.
- An investment return can be modeled as R = a + bi, where 'a' is the expected return and 'b' is the risk.
- Portfolio diversification is represented using complex number operations.
- In currency exchange and international trade, exchange rate fluctuations are complex numbers.
- The adjusted price of imported goods after exchange rate effects is calculated using complex number multiplication.
- Business valuation and growth projection applies complex number arithmetic.
- Company valuation includes tangible and intangible assets.
- Mergers, investments, and financial fluctuations are modeled with it.
- Loan repayment and interest rate calculations are modeled using complex numbers, especially when considering inflation and economic volatility.
- In electrical engineering within business, power supply systems analyze AC circuits using complex numbers to calculate power efficiency.
Conclusion
- Complex numbers provide a mathematical framework for analyzing financial models, assessing risk, and making business decisions.
- Understanding their operations helps businesses handle uncertainty and optimize financial strategies.
