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 \(f (\alpha- i \beta)= x - i y\).

(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:

(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.

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

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

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

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

(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 \(\Delta ABC =\dfrac{ z _{1}+ z _{2}+ z _{3}}{3}\)

Vectors - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

VECTORS 1. Vectors Physical quantities are broadly divided in two categories viz (a) Vector Quantities & (b) Scalar quantities. (a) Vector quantities: Any quantity, such as velocity, momentum, or force, that has both magnitude and direction and for which vector addition is defined and meaningful; is treated as vector quantities. (b) Scalar quantities: A quantity, such as mass, length, time, density or energy, that has size or magnitude but does not involve the concept of direction is called scalar quantity.
