Unit 1: Real And Complex Numbers
Explanation Of Exercise 1.5
Definition of Complex Number
A number which consists of an imaginary part is called complex number. it is denoted by z.e.g. z = a + ib
Where a and b are real numbers and i is an imaginary unit or part indication which is called iota and its value is, i = √-1. So i2 = -1.
Thus, in a complex number we have both components (a + ib) so:
- a = real part and
- b = imaginary part
- 5+ 8i = (5, 8)
- 3 + 4i = (3, 4)
Explanation:
Imaginary Number:
We know that the square of real number is non-negative. So the solution of the equation x2 + 1 = 0 does not exist in R. To overcome this inadequacy of real number, mathematicians introduced a new number √-1, imaginary unit and denoted it by the letter i (iota) having the property that i2 = -1. Obviously i is not real number. It is a new mathematical entity that enables us to find the solution of every algebraic equation of the type x2 + a = 0 where a > 0. Numbers like √-1 = i, √-5 = √5i, √-49 = 7i are called pure imaginary number.
Recognize 'a' as real part and 'b' as imaginary part of z = a + ib
In the complex number z = a + ib, "a" is the real part of complex number and "b" is the imaginary part of complex number.- The real part number is denoted by Re(z)
- Its imaginary part is denote Im(z)
Conjugate Of A Complex Number
If we have a complex number (x + iy) then (x - iy) is called the conjugate of the given complex number .Conjugate of z is denoted by z i.e.,-
If z = a + ib,
then z = a - ib
or
- If z = (a, b)
then z = (a, - b)
or
-
if z = a - ib,
then z = a + ib
or
-
If z = (a, - b),
then z =(a, b)
The Condition Of Equality Of Complex Numbers:
Two complex numbers are said to be equal if and only if, they have same real parts and same imaginary parts. i.e.∀a, b, c, d ∈R, such that:
a + ib = c + id, iff a = c and b = d.
