Complex Number
Complex number: A number of the form , where a and b are real numbers and i=√ is
called complex number. The complex number is also denoted by order pair (a,b).
Real and imaginary part:
If z= is a complex then,
(i) a is called real part of z and we write Re(z)=a
(ii) b is called imaginary part of z and we write Im(z)=b
(i) 𝑥 +1=0
Purely real and purely imaginary complex numbers: 𝑥 = 1
𝑥 =±√
(i) A complex number is caller purely real if its imaginary part
𝑥=±𝑖
is zero
(ii) A complex number is caller purely imaginary if its real
(ii) 𝑥 +a=0
part is zero
𝑥 = a
Example: z= = (0,b) Purely imaginary 𝑥 =±√ 𝑎
𝑥=±𝑎𝑖
z= = (a,0) Purely real
Equality of complex numbers: Two complex numbers and are said to be equal if
Re( )= Re( ) and Im( )= Im( )
Example: (a,b)=(c,d) if a=c and b=d
Power of i :
i2 = 1
i3 = i2 = 1 =
i 4 = i2 = 1 1= 1
= =
Note: any power of i must be equal to
Algebraic operations of complex numbers:
1. Addition:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Example: (i), ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
(ii), (√ √ )+ ( √ √ ) =(√ √ √ √ )= ( √ √ )
2. Subtraction:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Example: (i), ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
(ii), ( ) ( ) ( ( )) ( ) ( )
3. Multipication:
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
Example: (i), ( ) ( ) { ( ) } ( )
( )
(ii), ( ) ( ) { ( ) }
( ) ( ) ( )
4. Division:

Conjugate of a complex number:
If is a complex number, then the complex number Note: (i) Important
is called conjugate of the complex number and conjugate property.
