Engineering Mathematics Complex Numbers 2

Complex numbers can be represented in the form x + iy, where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part. They can also be represented in polar form as r(cosθ + i sinθ), where r is the magnitude and θ is the argument. Representing complex numbers in polar form allows easier manipulation through addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by using properties like: z1 + z2 = r1(cosθ1 + i sinθ1) + r2(cosθ2 + i sinθ2) z1z2 = r1r2(cos(θ1 + θ2) + i sin(θ1 + θ2)) z1/z2

Complex Numbers
Who uses them
in real life?

The navigation system in the space


shuttle depends on complex numbers!

A complex number z is a number of the form

x iy

i 1

where

x is the real part and y the imaginary part,


written as
x = Re z,
y = Im z.

i is called the imaginary unit

If x = 0, then z = iy is a pure imaginary number.

The complex conjugate of a complex


number, z = x + iy, denoted by z , is given
by

Polar Coordinates
With x r cos ,

y r sin
z r (cos i sin )

z takes the polar form:

r is called the absolute value or modulus or


magnitude of z and is denoted by |z|.
z r x2 y2 z z
Note that :

z z ( x iy )( x iy )
x y

Complex plane, polar form of a complex number


Geometrically, |z| is the distance of the point z from the origin
while is the directed angle from the positive x-axis to OP in
the above figure.
From the figure,

y
tan
x
1

is called the argument of z and is denoted by arg z. Thus,

y
arg z tan
x
1

z0

For z = 0, is undefined.
A complex number z 0 has infinitely many possible arguments,
each one differing from the rest by some multiple of 2. In fact,
arg z is actually

y
tan 2n , n 0,1,2,...
x
1

The value of that lies in the interval (-, ] is called the


principle argument of z ( 0) and is denoted by Arg z.

Euler Formula Exponential Form


The polar form of a complex number can be
rewritten as :
z r (cos i sin ) x iy
re

Derive

In mathematics terms, is referred to as the argument of


z and it can be positive or negative.
In engineering terms, is generally referred to as phase of

z and it can be positive or negative. It is denoted as z

The magnitude of z is the same both in Mathematics and


engineering, although in engineering, there are also
different interpretations depending on what physical
system one is referring to. Magnitudes are always > 0.

De Moivres Theorem

This remarkable formula works for


all values of n.

Arithmetic Operations in Polar Form

The representation of z by its real and imaginary


parts is useful for addition and subtraction.

For multiplication and division, representation by


the polar form reduces simplification.

Suppose we have 2 complex numbers, z1 and z2 given by :

z1 x1 jy1 r1e

j1

z 2 x 2 jy2 r2 e

j 2

z1 z 2 x1 jy1 x 2 jy2
x1 x 2 j y1 y 2
