COMPLEX NUMBERS QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW Introduction Q Consider a simple quadratic equation x? + 4 = 0. Clearly there is no solution of this equation in the set 0 real numbers. To permit the solution of such equations the set of complex numbers is introduced, ‘The solutions of the above equation are given by x2 = —4 => X = 4V4 = + 2/71 = £2i, We assume that the positive square root of -1 is denoted by 1, called imaginary unit. Now for any two real numbers x and y, we can form a new number x + iy. This number X + iy. This number x + iy called a complex number. The set C of complex number is therefore defined by C= (X+ iy Xe R, y € Rj. The extension of concept of numbers from real numbers to complex numbers enabled us to solve any polynomial equation. QA complex number is denoted by a single letter such as z, w ete. Given a complex number % =X + iy, vis called its Real Part and y its Imaginary Part and we denote X = Re(2) and y = Im(@) If y = 0, then 2 = xis a purely real number. tx ‘The complex number 0 0, then 2 = iy is aginary number. a purel real as well as pur 0 i, is both purel y imaginary. Q Two complex numbers Z; = x;+ iy; and Z,= x, + ivy are said to be equal if and only if 4, = ay and yy = yy Q Ifz=-x+ iy then the complex number x ~ iy is called the Complex Conjugate of 2 = x + iy and denoted by? or 2*. Thus, Re(2) Z and -Im(2) = -Im@) Axiomatic Approach Towards the Complex Number System Q A complex number is defined as an ordered pair (x, y) of real numbers x and y. Thus, C=(%)IXe Rye RB O Ifz =, ») then x = Re(z) and y = Im(@), z = (x, »)id equivalent to z = x + iy. Thus, I is equivalent to (0,1) and 2 = (x,-y), 1 Maths IMPORTANT RESULTS TO BE MEMORISED ABOUT I i (greek letter iota) represent positive square root of —1, s0 i = 1. It is called imaginary unit. ‘e have 1 -L ®=-Lit=1%8 ete, ‘Thus for any integer k, je= 1, pit te 7, jet 2= 4, jake ‘That is if power of J is m, me N, then divide m by 4 and find the remainder. If the remainder is zero, then i" = 1 If the remainder is one, then i" =i If the remainder is two, then i” = -1 If the remainder is three, then i” = —i 2. The sum of four consecutive powers of I is zero, for example, i!? + i+ it + j= 0 3. For any two real numbers a and b, Ya X vb = ab is true only if at least one number is non negative.

Let the directed line regment OP be of length r and makes an angel @ with the positive direction of the x-axis (® in the radians) The point P is uniquely determined by the ordered pair of real numbers (r, 8) called the polar coordinates of the point P.

In every sequence it is not always possible to write a specific formula as in examples (6), and 8), Sequence as a Function on the Set of Natural Numbers We may define a sequence as a function whose domain is some subset of set of natural numbers N of the type (1, 2, 3, n) = X (ay) to other set of number ¥.f-X + Y The ordered set of image in Y given by {/(1), fl), f(8)....... flm)} is the sequence.

Method of Describing Sequence (A sequence may be describe by writing first few terms till the rule for writing down the other term is evident, fi) A sequence m ay be described by giving 2 form ula for its general term (the n*® term) ht (iii) a sequence may be described by specifying first few terms and a formula (or a set of formulae) giving relation between successive terms. Such a formula is called Recursive Formula (or Recurrence Relation) see the example 5. (iv) Some sequence may not be describe by any rule. Series If (X,) = X,, Xo, Xy, ...) is a sequence, then the expression X, + X, +X, +... is called the Series associated with the given sequence.
