Complex Numbers Flashcards
How do you add complex numbers
If z = a + bj and w = c + dj
z + w = (a+c) + j(b+d)
Multiplication of complex numbers:
If z = a + bj and w = c + dj
z.w = ac - bd + j(ad + cb)
Division of complex numbers:
If z = a + bj and w = c + dj
a + jb c - jd
——— x ———
c + jd c - jd
Find the complex conjugate of z = a + bj
z̄ = a - bj
(cos(x) + j sin(x))^n = …
cos(nx) + j sin(nx)
z.w = r(cos θ + j sin θ).s(cos γ + j sin γ)
= rs (cos (θ+ γ) + j sin (θ+ γ))
express in z = a + jb polar form and exponential form
= r (cos θ +j sin θ) = re^jθ
When expressing the complex number in polar form what do I change
cos x = cos (x + 2kπ)
How many forms do you inspect
As many as the power of z is raised to ie z^3 = 3, always starting from k=0
What does argument mean?
Angle, from positive x axis
j^2 =
-1
j^2 =
-1
binomial theorem
(x + y)^n = a0 x^n + a1 x^n-1 y^1 + a2 x^n-2 y^2 + … + an y^n
