Complex Numbers

Representing Complex Numbers


 There are many ways of expressing complex numbers:

1. Algebraic: Z = a+ib

2. Trigonometric/Polar form: Z = r(cosθ+ isinθ)

3. Exponential Form: Z = reiθ


Trigonometric
 If P is the complex number Z

 |Z| = r

 Arg(Z) = θ

Z = r(cosθ+isinθ)

This is also expressed as rCiSθ

CiSθ is cosθ + isinθ


Trigonometric
 If Z = rCiS(θ), then Z = rCiS(–θ)

i.e., Z = r(cosθ+isinθ)

Then Z = r(cosθ–isinθ)

= r(cos(–θ)+isin(–θ))

= rCiS(–θ)
Trigonometric
 1/CiS(θ) = CiS(–θ)

Proof: 1/CiS(θ) = 1/(cosθ+isinθ)

= (cosθ–isinθ)/(cos2θ+sin2θ)

= cosθ–isinθ= cos(–θ) + isin(–θ)

= CiS(–θ)
Trigonometric
 CiS(α)CiS(β) = [cos(α)+isin(α)][cos(β)+isin(β)]

 cos(α)cos(β)–sin(α)sin(β) +
i[sin(α)cos(β)+cos(α)sin(β)]

 Cos(α+β)+isin(α+β)

= CiS(α+β)

Therefore, CiS(α)CiS(β) = CiS(α+β)


Trigonometric
 Generalizing the results so far:

 CiS(A)CiS(B)CiS(C)/CiS(P)CiS(Q)CiS(R) is given by:

CiS(A+B+C–P–Q–R)

Similarly, [CiS(θ)]n = CiS(θ)CiS(θ)...CiS(θ) n times

= CiS(nθ)
Exponential Form
 Z = reiθ, r is the magnitude and θϵ R is argument

Proof: ex = 1 + x/1! + x2/2! + x3/3! + x4/4! ... + ∞

 eiθ = 1 + iθ/1! + (iθ)2/2! + (iθ)3/3! + (iθ)4/4! ... + ∞

 eiθ = (1 – (θ)2/2! + (θ)4/4!...) + i(θ– (θ)3/3! + (θ)5/5!..)

 eiθ = cos(θ) + isin(θ)

We keep –π ≤ θ ≤ π
Example
 Convert Z = 6+2√3i into exponential form

|Z| = √48

 tan(θ) = 2√3/6 = 1/√3

 θ = π/6

Therefore, Z = √48eiπ/6
Example
 Convert Z = –4 into exponential form

|Z| = 4, and θ = π

Therefore, Z = 4eiπ
Example
 Convert Z = –5i into exponential form

|Z| = 5

θ= –π/2

 Z = 5e–i(π/2)
Exponential Form
 Conjugate of eiθ is ei(–θ)

Proof: eiθ×eiθ = |eiθ|2 = 1

 eiθ = 1/eiθ = e–iθ


Exponential Form
 Two important results:

(eiθ+e–iθ)/2 = cos(θ)

(eiθ–e–iθ)/2 = isin(θ)

This result is basically: Sum of a number and its


conjugate is twice the real part and difference is twice
the imaginary part
Example
 If Z is a complex number of unit modulus and argument
θ, then arg[(1+z)/(1+z )] is?

Since Z has unit modulus, let z be eiθ

 z = e–iθ

 arg[(1+eiθ)/(1+e–iθ)] = arg[eiθ(1+eiθ)/(1+eiθ)]

 arg[eiθ] = θ
Example
 Let Z be r.eiθ, such that r = |z| and θϵ R. Find |eiZ|

Now, power of e is imaginary

|eiZ| = |eir(cosθ+isinθ)| = |eircosθ–rsinθ|

= e–rsinθ|eircosθ|

Now, |eircosθ| = 1

 e–rsinθ|eircosθ| = e–rsinθ
Example
 If z1 and z2 are two non–zero complex numbers such that |z1| = |z2|
and arg(z1)+arg(z2) =π, then z1 in terms of z2 is?

Since arg(z1) + arg(z2) =π

 arg(z1) = π – arg(z2)

If z2 = reiθ, then z1 = rei(π–θ)

 z1 = reiπ.ei(–θ) = r(–1)(ei(–θ)) = –rei(–θ)

= –z2
