also in command of what is being covered in their school as part of NCERT syllabus The problems here are a happy blend of the straight and the twisted, the simple and the difficult and the easy and the challenging THE COMPLEX NUMBER SYSTEM (a) Solutions of equation x2 + = are not real so they are imaginary i was regarded as a fictitious or imaginary number which could be manipulated algebrically like an ordinary real number, except that its square was –1 The letter i was used to denote −1 , possibly because i is the first letter of the Latin word ‘imaginarius’ (b) To permit solutions of such polynomial equations, the set of complex numbers is introduced We can consider a complex number of the form a + ib, where a and b are real numbers It is denoted by z i.e z = a + ib ‘a’ is called as real part of z which is denoted by Re(z) and ‘b’ is called as imaginary part of z which is denoted by Im (z) Remarks : (a) The set R of real numbers is a proper subset of the Complex Numbers Hence the complete number system is N ⊂ W ⊂ I ⊂ Q ⊂ R ⊂ C (b) Zero is purely real as well as purely imaginary (c) i = −1 is the imaginary unit and called 'iota' Also i2 = −1; i3 = − i ; i4 = etc (d) a ⋅ b = ab only if atleast one of a or b is non-negative MATHEMATICS TODAY | SEPTEMBER ‘16 (e) If z = a + ib, then a – ib is called complex conjugate of z and written as z = a − ib (f) Real numbers satisfy order relations whereas imaginary numbers not satisfy order relation i.e i > 0, + i < are meaningless ALGEBRAIC OPERATIONS Fundamental operations on complex numbers In performing operations with complex numbers we can proceed as in the algebra of real numbers, replacing i2 by –1 when it occurs (i) Addition : (a + bi) + (c + di) = a + bi + c + di = (a + c) + (b + d)i (ii) Subtraction : (a + bi) – (c + di) = a + bi – c – di = (a – c) + (b – d)i (iii) Multiplication : (a + bi) (c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi2 = (ac – bd) + (ad + bc)i (iv) Division : a + bi a + bi c − di ac − adi + bci − bdi = ⋅ = c + di c + di c − di c − d 2i = ac + bd + (bc − ad )i = ac + bd + bc − ad i c +d c +d c2 + d Inequalities in imaginary numbers are not defined There is no validity if we say that imaginary number is positive or negative e.g., z > 0, + 2i < + 4i are meaningless In real numbers if a2 + b2 = then a = = b however in complex numbers, z12 + z22 = does not imply z1 = = z2 2 2 Equality In Complex Numbers : Two complex numbers z1 = a1 + ib1 & z2 = a2 + ib2 are equal if and only if their real and imaginary parts are equal i.e z1 = z2 ⇔ Re(z1) = Re(z2) and Im(z1) = Im(z2) REPRESENTATION OF A COMPLEX NUMBER Cartesian Form (Geometric Representation) To each complex number there corresponds one and only one point in plane, and conversely to each point in the plane there corresponds one and only one complex number Because of this we often refer to the complex number z as the point z Ever y complex number z = x + iy can be represented by a point on the Cartesian plane known as complex plane (Argand diagram) by the ordered pair (x, y) Length OP is called modulus of the complex number which is denoted by |z| & θ is called the argument or amplitude ⎛y⎞ | z | = x + y and tan θ = ⎜ ⎟ (angle made by ⎝x⎠ OP with positive x-axis) Note : (i) Argument of a complex number is a many valued function If θ is the argument of a complex number then 2nπ + θ; n ∈ I will also be the argument of that complex number Any two consecutive arguments of a complex number differ by 2nπ (ii) The unique value of θ such that −π < θ ≤ π is called the principal value of the argument Unless otherwise stated, amp z implies principal value of the argument (iii) By specifying the modulus & argument a complex number is defined completely For the complex number + 0i the argument is not defined and this is the only complex number which is only given by its modulus Trigonometric/Polar Representation z = r(cosθ + i sinθ), where |z| = r; arg z = θ; z = r (cos θ − i sin θ) Note : cosθ + i sinθ is also written as CiS θ 10 MATHEMATICS TODAY | SEPTEMBER ‘16 Euler’s Formula z = reiθ, |z| = r, arg z = θ z = re −iθ Note : If θ is real then cos θ = e iθ + e − iθ e iθ − e − iθ ; sin θ = 2i Vectorial Representation Every complex number can be considered as the position vector of a point If the point P represents the complex number z, then OP = z and |OP | = | z | ARGUMENT OF A COMPLEX NUMBER (a) Argument of a non-zero complex number P(z) is denoted and defined by arg (z) = angle which OP makes with the positive direction of real axis (b) If OP = |z| = r and arg (z) = θ, then obviously z = r(cosθ + isinθ), called the polar form of z 'Argument of z' would mean principal argument of z(i.e argument lying in (–π, π]) unless the context requires otherwise (c) Argument of a complex number z = a + ib = r(cosθ + isinθ) is the value of θ satisfying r cosθ = a and r sinθ = b b Let θ = tan −1 a a > 0, b > P.V arg z = θ a = 0, b > P.V arg z = π/2 a < 0, b > P.V arg z = π – θ a < 0, b = P.V arg z = π a < 0, b < P.V arg z = – (π – θ) a = 0, b < P.V arg z = – π/2 a > 0, b < P.V arg z = – θ a > 0, b = P.V arg z = P.V stands for principal value GEOMETRICAL REPRESENTATION OF FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS (a) Geometrical representation of addition of complex numbers Let P, Q be represented by z1 = r1 eiθ1 , z2 = r2eiθ2 respectively To find point R representing complex number z1z2 , we take a point L on real axis such that OL = and draw triangle OQR similar to triangle OLP Therefore OR OP = ⇒ OR = OP ⋅ OQ OQ OL i.e OR = r1r2 and ∠QOR = θ1 ∠LOR = ∠LOP + ∠POQ + ∠QOR = θ1 + θ2 – θ1 + θ1 = θ1 + θ2 Hence, R is represented by z1z2 = r1r2 ei(θ1 + θ2 ) (d) Geometrical representation of the division of complex numbers Let points P, Q be represented by z1 = r1 eiθ1, z2 = r2 eiθ2 respectively To find point R representing complex number z1 , we take a point z2 L on real axis such that OL = and draw a triangle OPR similar to OQL If two points P and Q represent complex numbers z1 and z2 respectively in the Argand plane, then the sum z1 + z2 is represented by the extremity R of the diagonal OR of parallelogram OPRQ having OP and OQ as two adjacent sides (b) Geometrical representation of subtraction of complex numbers Therefore r OP OR = ⇒ OR = OQ OL r2 and ∠LOR = ∠LOP – ∠ROP = θ1 – θ2 z1 r1 i(θ1 − θ2 ) = e Hence, R is represented by z2 r2 (c) Geometrical representation of multiplication of complex numbers 12 MATHEMATICS TODAY | SEPTEMBER ‘16 Modulus and argument of multiplication of two complex numbers For any two complex numbers z1, z2, we have |z1z2| = |z1||z2| and arg (z1z2) = arg(z1) + arg(z2) Notes : (i) P.V arg(z1z2) ≠ P.V arg(z1) + P.V arg(z2) (ii) |z1 z2 zn| = |z1||z2| |zn| (iii) arg (z1z2 zn) = arg z1 + arg z2 + + arg zn Modulus and argument of division of two complex numbers If z1 and z2 (≠ 0) are two complex numbers, we z |z | have = and z2 | z2 | ⎛z ⎞ arg ⎜ ⎟ = arg(z1 ) − arg(z2 ) ⎝ z2 ⎠ Note : ⎛z ⎞ P.V arg ⎜ ⎟ ≠ P.V arg(z1 ) − P.V arg(z2 ) ⎝z ⎠ CONJUGATE OF A COMPLEX NUMBER Conjugate of a complex number z = a + ib is denoted and defined by z = a − ib In a complex number if we replace i by –i, we get conjugate of the complex number z is the mirror image of z about real axis on Argand’s Plane Geometrical representation of conjugate of complex number : |z | = |z | arg(z ) = − arg(z ) Properties z+z z−z , y= (i) If z = x + iy, then x = 2i (ii) z = z ⇔ z is purely

equations with real coefficients occur in conjugate pairs |z1 ± z2|2 = |z1|2 + |z2|2 ± (z1z2 + z1z2 ) = |z1|2 + |z2|2 ± Re(z1z2 ) = |z1|2 + |z2|2 ± 2|z1||z2| cos (θ1 – θ2) Note : If w = f (z ), then w = f (z ) DISTANCE BETWEEN COMPLEX POINTS If z1 = x1 + iy1, z2 = x2 + iy2, then distance between points z1, z2 in argand plane is | z1 − z2 | = (x1 − x2 )2 + ( y1 − y2 )2 INEQUALITIES IN COMPLEX NUMBERS If z1 and z2 are two complex numbers such that |z1| ≤ 1, |z2| ≤ 1, then (i) |z1 – z2|2 ≤ (|z1| – |z2|)2 + (Arg(z1) – Arg(z2))2 (ii) |z1 + z2|2 ≥ (| z1| + |z2|)2 – (Arg(z1) – Arg(z2))2 (iii) |z1 ± z2| ≤ |z1| + |z2| In general |z1 ± z2 ± z3 ± ± zn | ≤ |z1| + |z2| + |z3| + + |zn| (iv) |z1 ± z2| ≥ || z1| – |z2|| ⇒ ||z1| – |z2|| ≤ |z1 + z2| ≤ |z1| + |z2| ROTATION (a) Important results (i) arg z = θ represents points (non-zero) on ray eminating from or i g i n m a k i ng an angle θ with positive direction of real axis (ii) arg(z – z1) = θ represents points (≠ z1) on ray eminating from z1 making an angle θ with positive direction of real axis (b) Rotation theorem (i) If P(z1) and Q(z2) are two complex numbers such that |z1| = |z2|, then z2 = |z1| eiθ where θ = ∠POQ (ii) If P(z1), Q(z2) and R (z ) are t hre e complex numbers and ∠PQR = θ, then ⎛ z − z ⎞ z − z iθ ⎜⎝ z − z ⎟⎠ = z − z e 2 (iii) If P(z1), Q(z2), R(z3) and S(z ) are four complex numbers and ∠STQ = θ, then z3 − z z −z = e
