How are complex numbers represented on Argand diagrams?
z=x+iy = (x,y)
What do complex conjugate pairs look like on Argand diagrams?
Reflections of each other in the x-axis
What happens when two points are added together on an Argand diagram?
The resulting complex number forms a parallelogram with the two added complex numbers and (0,0)
What is the modulus of a complex number?
The magnitude of its corresponding vector
How is the modulus calculated?
|z| = ✔️(x^2 + y^2)
What is the argument of a complex number? (2)
The angle (θ) that the vector makes with the positive real axis Usually given in the range -π < θ ≤ π (principal argument)
What is the modulus-argument form of a complex number?
z = r(cos(θ) +i sin(θ)) where r is the modulus and theta is the argument
