Real numbers:

All positive, negative number and zero except imaginary numbers are called real
numbers. It is denoted by ℝ. [ℝ = (−∞, ∞)]

Complex numbers:
A complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a+ib, where a
and b are real numbers, and i is called and imaginary number which is satisfies
i2=-1.

Complex variable:
There is no real number x which satisfies the polynomial equation x2+1=0.Then
we can consider a complex number as having the form a+ib where a and b are
real numbers and i which is called the imaginary unit, has the property that
i2=-1. If z= a+ib, then a is called real part of z and b is called imaginary part of z
and are denoted by Re{z} and Im{z}respectively. The symbol z, which can stand
for any of a set of complex numbers, is called complex variable.

Complex conjugate:

Complex conjugation means reflecting the complex plane in the real line.
The notation for the complex conjugate of z is either 𝒛̅ or 𝒛∗ . The complex
conjugate has the same real part as z and the same imaginary part but with the
opposite sign. That is, if z=a+ib, then 𝒛∗ =a−ib
In polar complex form, the complex conjugate of 𝒓𝒆𝒊𝜽 is 𝒓𝒆−𝒊𝜽
Complex plane or Argand diagram:
We know that a complex number z=a+ib can be as an ordered pair(x,y) .where
(𝐚, 𝐛) ∈ 𝐑[𝐑 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬] and it can be represented by point
P(a,b) with regard to two rectangular axes XOX/ and YOY/(here O is the
origin)which are properly called real line and imaginary line respectively. We can
represent such numbers in a plane called the complex plane or Argand diagram.

Example 1: On an Argand diagram, plot the following complex numbers:

Z1 = -3, Z2 = 2

These numbers have only a real part. Their imaginary parts are zero. When
plotting a complex number having only a real part, the point lies on the
horizontal axis.

Example 2: On an Argand diagram, plot the following complex numbers:

Z3 = -2i, Z4 = i

These numbers have only an imaginary part. Their real parts are zero. When
plotting a complex number having only an imaginary part, the point lies on the
vertical axis.

Example 3: Plot the following complex conjugates on an Argand diagram:

Z5 = 1 + 2i, Z6 = 1 - 2i

Modulus of a Complex Number:

Let z = x + iy where x and y are real and i = √-1. Then the non negative square
root of (𝒙𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 ) is called the modulus or absolute value of z (or x + iy).

Modulus of a complex number z = x + iy, denoted by mod(z) or |z| or |x + iy|, is


defined as |z |[or mod z or |x + iy|] = √𝐱 𝟐 + 𝐲 𝟐 ,where x = Re(z), y = Im(z)

Sometimes, |z| is called absolute value of z. Clearly, |z| ≥ 0 for all zϵ C.

For example:

(i) If z = 6 + 8i then |z| = √𝟔𝟐 + 𝟖𝟐 =√𝟑𝟔 + 𝟔𝟒 = √𝟏𝟎𝟎 =10

(ii) If z = -6 + 8i then |z| =√(−𝟔)𝟐 + 𝟖𝟐 =√𝟑𝟔 + 𝟔𝟒 = √𝟏𝟎𝟎 =10

Polar Form of a Complex Number:


The polar form of a complex number is another way to represent a complex number. The
form z=a+ib is called the rectangular coordinate form of a complex number.
Fig-1 Fig-2

Fig-3

The horizontal axis is the real axis and the vertical axis is the imaginary axis. We
find the real and complex components in terms of r and 𝜽 where r is the length
of the vector and 𝜽 is the angle made with the real axis.

From Pythagorean Theorem (fig-1)


𝒓𝟐 = 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐
By using the basic trigonometric ratios :
𝒂 𝒃
cos𝜽= and sin𝜽= . Multiplying each side by r
𝒓 𝒓
rcos𝜽=a and rsin𝜽=b.The rectangular form of a complex number is given by
z=a+ib
Substitute the values of aand b
z=a+ib    =rcos𝜽+i(rsin𝜽)    =r(cos𝜽+isin𝜽)

In the case of a complex number, r represents the absolute value or modulus and
the angle 𝜽 is called the argument of the complex number.
This can be summarized as follows:
The polar form of a complex number z=a+ib is z=r(cos𝜽+isin𝜽) , where
𝐛
r=|𝒛|=√𝐚𝟐 + 𝐛 𝟐 , a=rcos𝜽 and b=rsin𝜽 , and 𝜽=𝐭𝐚𝐧−𝟏 ( ) for a>0 and
𝐚
𝐛 𝐛
𝜽=𝐭𝐚𝐧−𝟏 ( )+π or 𝜽=𝐭𝐚𝐧−𝟏 ( ) +180° for a<0
𝐚 𝐚

Example: Express the complex number 5+2i in polar form.


The polar form of a complex number z=a+ib is z=r(cos𝜽+isin𝜽).
So, first find the value of r
r=|𝒛|=√𝐚𝟐 + 𝐛 𝟐 =√𝟓𝟐 + 𝟐𝟐     =√𝟐𝟓 + 𝟒   =√𝟐𝟗    ≈5.39
𝐛
Now find the argument 𝜽. Since a>0 we can use the formula 𝜽=𝐭𝐚𝐧−𝟏 ( )
𝐚
𝟐
𝜽=𝐭𝐚𝐧−𝟏 ( )    ≈ 0.38 (Note that here 𝜽 is measured in radians)
𝟓
Therefore, the polar form of 5+2i is about 5.39(cos(0.38)+isin(0.38)) .
