Study Notes

Complex Numbers: Definition

  • A complex number combines a real part and an imaginary part
  • These numbers support addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

Complex Numbers: Form

  • Complex numbers adhere to the structure $a + bi$
  • $a$ = real part
  • $b$ = imaginary part
  • $i$ = imaginary unit, where $i = \sqrt{-1}$

Complex Numbers: Example

  • For the complex number $3 + 4i$
  • The real part is 3
  • The imaginary part is 4

Operations: Addition

  • Add the real parts and imaginary parts separately: $(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i$

  • Example

  • $(2 + 3i) + (4 + 5i) = (2 + 4) + (3 + 5)i = 6 + 8i$

Operations: Subtraction

  • Subtract real and imaginary parts separately: $(a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i$

  • Example

  • $(5 + 6i) - (1 + 2i) = (5 - 1) + (6 - 2)i = 4 + 4i$

Operations: Multiplication

  • Apply the distributive property, noting that $i^2 = -1$

  • $(a + bi)(c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i$

  • Example

  • $(2 + 3i)(4 + 5i) = -7 + 22i$

Operations: Division

  • Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

  • $\frac{a + bi}{c + di} = \frac{(ac + bd) + (bc - ad)i}{c^2 + d^2}$

  • Example

  • $\frac{2 + 3i}{4 + 5i} = \frac{23}{41} + \frac{2}{41}i$

Complex Conjugate

  • The complex conjugate of $a + bi$ is $a - bi$
  • Multiplying a complex number by its conjugate yields a real number: $(a + bi)(a - bi) = a^2 + b^2$

Complex Conjugate Example

  • The conjugate of $3 + 4i$ is $3 - 4i$
  • $(3 + 4i)(3 - 4i) = 25$

Absolute Value (Modulus)

  • The absolute value of $a + bi$ is the distance from the origin to $(a, b)$ in the complex plane
  • $|a + bi| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$

Absolute Value Example

  • $|3 + 4i| = 5$
