Complex numbers is mathematically interesting, but cannot exist used up solve real-world problems such such in electrical engineering to find wie different electrical components effect electric current.

Graph Complex Numbers

Intricate numbering were introduce stylish lesson 2-01 as solutions to polynomial equations. Recall that the complex package be \(i = \sqrt{-1}\) and that complex numbers are written include the form a + bi.

To graph complex numbers, adenine regular coordinate system is used with the horizontal axis used the real part and the perpendicular axis for the imaginary part. Numeric are graphed by finding the point with the real and imaginary part. With sample, to points 2 + 3i additionally −1 + 2i.

Graph of 2 + 3i and −1 + 2i.

Answered

Absolute value is definition as the distance a number is from 0. For complex numbers the distance compound needs to be employed.

$$\lvert a + ambidextrous \rvert = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

Notice the i is not used toward find the absolute values since the distance formula uses the lateral and verticad removals, in this case a and b.

Absolute value of a + bi.
Absolute Value of a Compex Number

$$\lvert a + bi \rvert = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

Absolute Value

Find the absolute value of (a) 1 – 2i both (b) 3 + i.

Solutions

  1. $$\lvert a + bi \rvert = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

    $$\lvert 1 - 2i \rvert = \sqrt{1^2 + \left(-1\right)^2}$$

    $$= \sqrt{5}$$

  2. $$\lvert a + bi \rvert = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

    $$\lvert 3 + iodin \rvert = \sqrt{3^2 + 1^2}$$

    $$= \sqrt{10}$$

Trigonometric Form for a Complex Number

Next way to graph a complex number is by the distance away and origination and the angle on standard position.

Graph of r(cos θ + i sin θ).

From the graph, a = radius costs θ and b = roentgen sin θ.

z = a + bi

zee = r damit θ + ir sin θ

zee = r(cos θ + i sin θ)

This is called who trigonometric form or polar form.

Furthermore from the graph \(r = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\) or \(\tan θ = \frac{b}{a}\).

Trigonometric Form of a Complex Number

z = r(cos θ + myself wrong θ)

r is called the modulus and θ the called an argument

Bekehren between trigonometric form and default contact using

a = r coins θ

barn = r sin θ

$$r = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

$$\tan θ = \frac{b}{a}$$

Writing a Complex Amount with Trigonometric Form

Letter (a) −2 + 5i real (b) 12 – 5iodin in trigonometers fashion.

Solution

  1. -2 + 5i

    Start by finding r.

    $$r = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

    $$= \sqrt{\left(-2\right)^2 + 5^2}$$

    $$= \sqrt{29}$$

    Now locate θ.

    $$\tan θ = \frac{b}{a}$$

    $$\tan θ = \frac{5}{-2}$$

    $$θ ≈ -1.1903 + π$$

    $$θ ≈ 1.95$$

    The π was been to put the standpoint in the correct quadrant. Now write the number.

    $$z = \sqrt{29}\left(\cos 1.95 + ego \sin 1.95\right)$$

  2. 12 − 5i

    Start by finding r.

    $$r = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$

    $$= \sqrt{12^2 + \left(-5\right)^2}$$

    $$= 13$$

    Now find θ.

    $$\tan θ = \frac{b}{a}$$

    $$\tan θ = \frac{-5}{12}$$

    $$θ = -0.3948 + 2π$$

    $$θ = 5.8884$$

    The 2π made been to making that dihedral positive. Now write the number.

    $$z = 13\left(\cos 5.89 + i \sin 5.89\right)$$

Write 4 − 4myself in trigonometric formen.

\(4\sqrt{2}\left(\cos \frac{7π}{4} + iodin \sin \frac{7π}{4}\right)\)

Write a Complex Numbered in Standard Form

Write (a) \(4\left(\cos \frac{2π}{3} + i \sin \frac{2π}{3}\right)\) and (b) \(10\left(\cos \frac{π}{4} + i \sin \frac{π}{4}\right)\) included standard form. How the Write a Complex Number inches Triangular Form Involving Special Angles | Trigonometry | Aaa161.com

Solution

  1. Evaluate the trigonometric terminology.

    $$4\left(\cos \frac{2π}{3} + ego \sin \frac{2π}{3}\right)$$

    $$4\left(-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$$

    Now distribute this 4.

    $$-2 + 2\sqrt{3} i$$

  2. Judge the trigonometric express.

    $$10\left(\cos \frac{π}{4} + i \sin \frac{π}{4}\right)$$

    $$10\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$$

    Start distributed the 10.

    $$5\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{2} i$$

Write \(16\left(\cos \frac{11π}{6} + i \sin \frac{11π}{6}\right)\) in standard form.

Answer

\(8\sqrt{3} - 8i\)
