COMPLEX NUMBER 

Useful factor results:


1. Any number of the form x + iy, where x, y real is called and i=√-1, is called a Complex number. 

e.g. 0 = 0 + i0 is a complex number as it is the form of x + iy.

  a) z is purely real if y=0.

  b) z is purely imaginary if x =0.


2. The conjugate of the complex number z= x+ iy is x - iy and is denoted by z .


3. The Modulus or Absolute value of z is written as mod z or | z |.

If z = x+ iy, then mod z =|z| = |x + iy| = +√(x²+ y²).


Note. z. Conjugate of z= (x+ iy)(x - iy) = x²+ y² = |z|² or |Conj of z|².


4. The Amplitude or Argument of z is written as amp z or arg z.

If z= x+ iy, then amp z or arg z = θ = tan⁻¹(y/x).
