Complex Number - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

COMPLEX NUMBER

1. DEFINITION :

Complex numbers are defined as expressions of the form \(a + ib\) where \(a, b \in R \quad \& i=\sqrt{-1}\). It is denoted by \(z\) i.e. \(z=a+i b\). 'a' is called real part of \(z(a=R e z)\) and ' \(b\) ' is called imaginary part of \(z(b=\operatorname{Im} z)\)

Definition of Complex number

Note :

(i) The set \(R\) of real numbers is a proper subset of the Complex Numbers. Hence the Complex Number system is \(N \subset W \subset I \subset Q \subset R \subset C\)

(ii) Zero is both purely real as well as purely imaginary but not imaginary.

(iii) \(i =\sqrt{-1}\) is called the imaginary unit. Also \(i ^{2}=-1 ;\, i ^{3}=- i\); \(i ^{4}=1\) etc.

(iv) \(\sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a b}\) only if atleast one of a or \(b\) is non-negative.


2. CONJUGATE COMPLEX :

If \(z=a+i b\) then its conjugate complex is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part \(\&\) is denoted by \(\bar{z}\). i.e. \(\bar{z}=a-i b\). Note that:

(i) \(\quad z+\bar{z}=2 \operatorname{Re}(z)\)

(ii) \(\quad z-\bar{z}=2 i \operatorname{Im}(z)\)

(iii) \(z \bar{z}=a^{2}+b^{2}\) which is real

(iv) If \(z\) is purely real then \(z-\bar{z}=0\)

(v) If \(z\) is purely imaginary then \(z+\bar{z}=0\)


3. REPRESENTATION OF A COMPLEX NUMBER IN VARIOUS FORMS:

(a) Cartesian Form (Geometrical Representation):

Every complex number \(z=x+\) iy can be

REPRESENTATION OF A COMPLEX NUMBER IN VARIOUS FORMS

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 denoted by \(|z| \)  & \(\theta\) is called the principal argument or amplitude, \((\theta \in(-\pi, \pi])\).

e.g. \(|z|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\) & \(\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{y}{x}\) (angle made by OP with positive \(x\) -axis), \(x >0\)

Geometrically \(|z|\) represents the distance of point \(P\) from origin. \((|z| \geq 0)\)

(b) Trigonometric / Polar Representation :

\(z=r(\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)\) where \(|z|=r\); \( \arg z=\theta \); \(\bar{z}=r(\cos \theta-i \sin \theta)\)

Note : \(\cos \theta+ i \sin \theta\) is also written as \(\operatorname{CiS} \theta\).

Euler's formula :

The formula \(e^{ ix }=\cos x + i \sin x\) is called Euler's formula. Also \(\cos x=\frac{e^{ ix }+e^{- ix }}{2} \, \& \, \sin x =\frac{e^{ ix }-e^{- ix }}{2 i }\) are known as Euler's identities.

(c) Exponential Representation :

Let \(z\) be a complex number such that \(|z|=r \, \&\) arg \(z=\theta\), then \(z=r \cdot e^{i \theta}\)


4. IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF CONJUGATE :

(a) \(\overline{(\bar{z})}=z\)

(b) \(\overline{z_{1}+z_{2}}=\bar{z}_{1}+\bar{z}_{2}\)

(c) \(\overline{z_{1}-z_{2}}=\bar{z}_{1}-\bar{z}_{2}\)

(d) \(\overline{z_{1} z_{2}}=\bar{z}_{1} \cdot \bar{z}_{2}\)

(e) \(\overline{\left(\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}\right)}=\frac{\bar{z}_{1}}{\bar{z}_{2}} ; \quad z_{2} \neq 0\)

(f) If \(f\) is a polynomial with real coefficient such that \(f (\alpha+ i \beta)= x + i y\), then \(f (\alpha- i \beta)= x - i y\).


5. IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF MODULUS :

(a) \(|z| \geq 0\)

(b) \(|z| \geq \operatorname{Re}(z)\)

(c) \(|z| \geq \operatorname{Im}(z)\)

(d) \(|z|=|\bar{z}|=|-z|=|-\bar{z}|\)

(e) \(z \bar{z}=|z|^{2}\)

(f) \(\left|z_{1} z_{2}\right|=\left|z_{1}\right| \cdot\left|z_{2}\right|\)

(g) \(\left|\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}\right|=\frac{\left|z_{1}\right|}{\left|z_{2}\right|}, \quad z_{2} \neq 0\)

(h) \(\left|z^{n}\right|=|z|^{n}\)

(i) \(\left|z_{1}+z_{2}\right|^{2}=\left|z_{1}\right|^{2}+\left|z_{2}\right|^{2}+2 \operatorname{Re}\left(z_{1} \bar{z}_{2}\right)\)

or \(\left|z_{1}+z_{2}\right|^{2}=\left|z_{1}\right|^{2}+\left|z_{2}\right|^{2}+2\left|z_{1}\right|\left|z_{2}\right| \cos \left(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2}\right)\)

(j) \(\left|z_{1}+z_{2}\right|^{2}+\left|z_{1}-z_{2}\right|^{2}=2\left[\left|z_{1}\right|^{2}+\left|z_{2}\right|^{2}\right]\)

(k) ||\(z_{1}|-| z_{2}|| \leq\left|z_{1}+z_{2}\right| \leq\left|z_{1}\right|+\left|z_{2}\right| \quad\) [Triangular Inequality]

(I) ||\(z_{1}|-| z_{2}|| \leq\left|z_{1}-z_{2}\right| \leq\left|z_{1}\right|+\left|z_{2}\right| \quad[\) Triangular Inequality \(]\)

(m) If \(\left|z+\frac{1}{z}\right|=a(a>0)\), then \(\max |z|=\frac{a+\sqrt{a^{2}+4}}{2}\)

\(\& \min |z|=\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{a^{2}+4}-a\right)\)


6. IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF AMPLITUDE:

(a) (i) \(\operatorname{amp}\left(z_{1} \cdot z_{2}\right)=\operatorname{amp} z_{1}+\operatorname{amp} z_{2}+2 k \pi ; k \in I\)

(ii) \(\operatorname{amp}\left(\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}\right)=\operatorname{amp} z_{1}-\operatorname{amp} z_{2}+2 k \pi ; \quad k \in I\)

(iii) \(\operatorname{amp}\left(z^{n}\right)=n \operatorname{amp}(z)+2 k \pi\),

where proper value of \(k\) must be chosen so that RHS lies in \((-\pi, \pi]\).

(b) \(\log (z)=\log \left(r e^{i \theta}\right)=\log r+i \theta=\log |z|+i \operatorname{amp}(z)\)


7. DE'MOIVER'S THEOREM :

The value of \((\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)^{n}\) is \(\cos \theta+i \sin n \theta\) if 'n' is integer \(\&\) it is one of the values of \((\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)^{n}\) if \(n\) is a rational number of the form \(p / q\), where \(p\)  & \( q\) are co-prime.

Note : Continued product of roots of a complex quantity should be determined using theory of equation.


8. CUBE ROOT OF UNITY :

(b) \(1+\omega+\omega^{2}=0, \omega^{3}=1\), in general

\(1+\omega^{ r }+\omega^{2 r }=\left[\begin{array}{l}0, r \text { is not integral multiple of } 3 \\ 3, r \text { is multiple of } 3\end{array}\right.\)

(c) \(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-a b-b c-c a\)\(=\left(a+b \omega+c \omega^{2}\right)\left(a+b \omega^{2}+c \omega\right)\)

\(a^{3}+b^{3}=(a+b)(a+\omega b)\left(a+\omega^{2} b\right)\)

\(a^{3}-b^{3}=(a-b)(a-\omega b)\left(a-\omega^{2} b\right)\)

\(x ^{2}+ x +1=( x -\omega)\left( x -\omega^{2}\right)\)


9. SQUARE ROOT OF COMPLEX NUMBER :

\(\begin{array}{l}\sqrt{a+i b}=\pm\left\{\frac{\sqrt{|z|+a}}{2}+i \frac{\sqrt{|z|-a}}{2}\right\} \text { for } b>0 \\\& \pm\left\{\frac{\sqrt{|z|+a}}{2}-i \frac{\sqrt{|z|-a}}{2}\right\} \text { for } b<0 \end{array}\)\( \text{where} |z|=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}} .\)


10. ROTATION:

\(\dfrac{z_{2}-z_{0}}{\left|z_{2} z_{0}\right|}=\dfrac{z_{1}-z_{0}}{\left|z_{1}-z_{0}\right|} e^{i \theta}\)

(b) Section formula : If \(z_{1}\,  \& \, z_{2}\) are two complex numbers then the complex number \(z =\dfrac{ nz _{1}+ mz _{2}}{ m + n }\) divides the join of \(z _{1}\, \& \, z _{2}\) in the ratio \(m : n\)

(c) If the vertices \(A, B, C\) of a triangle represent the complex numbers \(z _{1}, z _{2}, z _{3}\) respectively, then :

  • Centroid of the \(\Delta ABC =\dfrac{ z _{1}+ z _{2}+ z _{3}}{3}\)
  • Orthocentre of the \(\triangle ABC\) \(\begin{array}{l}=\dfrac{(a \sec A) z_{1}+(b \sec B) z_{2}+(c \sec C) z_{3}}{a \sec A+b \sec B+c \sec C} \\\text { or } \dfrac{z_{1} \tan A+z_{2} \tan B+z_{3}\tan C}{\tan A+\tan B+\tan C}\end{array}\)
  • Incentre of the \(\Delta ABC =\dfrac{\left( az _{1}+ bz _{2}+ cz _{3}\right)}{( a + b + c )}\)
  • Circumcentre of the \(\triangle ABC\)\(=\dfrac{\left(z_{1} \sin 2 A+z_{2} \sin 2 B+z_{3} \sin 2 C\right)}{(\sin 2 A+\sin 2 B+\sin 2 C)}\)

from (i) & (ii)

\(\Rightarrow z_{1}^{2}+z_{2}^{2}+z_{3}^{2}=z_{1} z_{2}+z_{2} z_{3}+z_{3} z_{1}\)

\(\Rightarrow z\left(\bar{z}_{1}-\bar{z}_{2}\right) i+\bar{z}\left(z_{2}-z_{1}\right) i+i\left(z_{1} \bar{z}_{2}-\bar{z}_{1} z_{2}\right)=0\)

Let \(\left(z_{2}-z_{1}\right) i=a\), then equation of line is \(\boxed{\bar{a} z+a \bar{z}+b=0}\) where a \(C \, \& \, b \in R\)

Note:

(i) Complex slope of line joining points \(z_{1}\, \& \, z_{2}\) is \(\dfrac{\left(z_{2}-z_{1}\right)}{\left(\overline{z_{2}-z_{1}}\right)}\). Also note that slope of a line in Cartesian plane is different from complex slope of a line in Argand plane.

(ii) Complex slope of line \(\bar{a} z+a \bar{z}+b=0\) is \(-\dfrac{a}{\bar{a}}, b \in R\)

(iii) Two lines with complex slope \(\mu_{1} \, \& \, \mu_{2}\) are parallel or perpendicular if \(\mu_{1}=\mu_{2}\) or \(\mu_{1}+\mu_{2}=0\).

(iv) Length of perpendicular from point \(A (\alpha)\) to line \(\overline{ a } z + a \overline{ z }+ b =0\) is \(\dfrac{|\bar{a} \alpha+a \bar{\alpha}+b|}{2|a|}\).

PARABOLA 1. CONIC SECTIONS : A conic section, or conic is the locus of a point which moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point is in a constant ratio to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line. (a) The fixed point is called the FOCUS. (b) The fixed straight line is called the DIRECTRIX. (c) The constant ratio is called the ECCENTRICITY denoted by e.
