Study Notes

Complex Numbers Simplification and Operations

  • Simplify complex numbers of the form (a + bi) involving multiplication, addition, subtraction, and powers.
  • Example: 3(1 - 2i) - (-4 - 5i) + (-8 + 3i) = -9 + 4i
  • Example: (2+3i)(4-5i) = 23 - 7i

Complex Number Representation

  • Express complex numbers in different forms (rectangular, polar, exponential).
  • Express complex numbers in the form a + bi where a and b are real numbers.
  • Example (4 - 3i)³ can be expressed in a + bi form.

Conjugates

  • Find the complex conjugate of a complex number.
  • The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi.
  • Example: Conjugate of (-3 + √−1) = (-3 - i)
  • Example: Conjugate of i³ is -i

Modulus of a Complex Number

  • Calculate the modulus (absolute value) of a complex number.
  • |z| = √(x² + y²) where z = x + yi.
  • Example: | √2 + i√3 | = √5
  • Calculate the modulus of (1 + i) / (1 - i) = √2, which is the magnitude of the complex number.

Operations with Complex Numbers

  • Calculate the real and imaginary parts of a complex number.
  • Re(√2 - √-3) = √2, Im(√2 - √-3) = - √3
  • Find the sum and difference of complex numbers.
  • Find the product and quotient of complex numbers.
  • Example: If z₁ = 1 - i and z₂ = -2 + 4i, find Im(z₁z₂/z₁) = 1
  • Calculate (z₁z₂)/z₁

Solving for Integer Values

  • Determine the least positive integer value of m that satisfies equation for a complex number.
  • Example: Find m if (1 + i)^(m) / (1 − i)^(m) = 1
  • Answer for this example is m = 4

Real Parts and Imaginary Parts

  • Determine values of x and y using equations involving complex numbers.
  • Example: if 2 + (x + yi) = 3 - i, then x = 1 and y = -1
  • Example equations: x + 4iy = ix + y + 3

Real Numbers from Complex Number Operations

  • Determine complex number expressions which simplify to real numbers.
  • Show expressions such as (√7 + i√3) / (√7 − i√3) + (√7 − i√3) / (√7 + i√3) that are real.

Prove Equality of Expressions

  • Prove an algebraic equality involving complex values such as (x² + y²) = 1
  • if (x + iy) = (a + i b)/(a - i b).

Complex Numbers and Modulus

  • If | w | = 1 and w = (1 - iz) / (z - i), show that z is purely real.
