Problems Involving Complex Numbers, With An Emphasis On Polar Form

This document discusses problems involving complex numbers with an emphasis on polar form. It provides two examples: 1) Rotating a complex number 60 degrees and finding the point with a ratio of 2 from the origin 2) Examining the relationship between two complex numbers by determining the absolute value and argument of their ratio Polar form allows complex numbers to be expressed as r(cosθ + i sinθ), where r is the distance from the origin and θ is the angle. This makes it possible to rotate complex numbers and find their ratios.

Problems Involving Complex Numbers,

with an Emphasis on Polar Form


(fx-100MS/fx-115MS/fx-570MS/fx-991MS only)

Example 1

Rotate 3 2i 60 degrees around the origin of the complex


plane, and then determine the point with a ratio of 2 with
the origin as the center.

Defining r as the distance of point (a, b) from the


origin on the complex plane and as the angle
formed with the positive part of the x-axis makes it possible to
express complex number z = a + bi as z = r (cos + i sin ).
This is called polar representation of complex number z.
Using polar representation for z2 in the complex number
multiplication z1 z2 gives us z2 = r2 (cos2 + i sin2). Now we
can rotate z1 2 around the origin of the complex plane, giving
us a value with a ratio of r2 with the origin as the center.

Example 2

Examine the relationship between 5 + 3i and 4 + i, which


are two points on the complex plane.

You can examine the relationship between


two points on the complex plane (z1 and z2)
by determining the absolute value (r) and the argument
( ) of z1/z2.
