, COMPLEX NUMBERS
COMPLEX NUMBERS
If ‘a’, ‘b’ are two real numbers, then a number of the form a + ib is called a complex number
Set of complex Numbers : The set of all complex numbers is denoted by C.
i.e. C = {a + ib | a,b R }
Equality of Complex Numbers : Two complex numbers z1 = a1 + ib1 and z2 = a2 + ib2 are equal if a1 = a2 and
b1 = b2 i.e. Re (z1) = Re(z2) and Im (z1) = Im (z2)
FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS ON COMPLEX NUMBERS
ADDITION : Let z1 = a1 + ib1 and z2 = a2 + ib2 be two complex numbers. Then their sum z1 + z2 is defined as
the complex number (a1 + a2) + i (b1 + b2)
Properties of addition of complex numbers
(i) Addition is commutative : For any two complex numbers z1 and z2, we have
z1 z 2 z 2 z1
(ii) Addition is associative : For any three complex numbers z1, z2, z3 we have
(z1 + z2) + z3 = z1 + (z2 + z3)
(iii) Existence of additive identity : The complex number 0 = 0 + i0 is the identity element for addition i.e.
z + 0 = z = 0 + z for all z C
(iv) Existence of additive inverse : For every complex number z there exists –z such that
z + (–z) = 0 = (–z) + z
The complex number –z is called the additive inverse of z.
Substraction : Let z1 = a1 + ib1 and z2 = a2 + ib2 be two complex numbers. Then the subtraction of z2 from z1 is
denoted by z1 – z2 and is defined as the addition of z1 and –z2.
Thus, z1 – z2
= (a1 – a2) + i (b1 – b2)
Multiplication : Let z1 = a1 + ib1 and z2 = a2 + ib2 be two complex numbers. Then, the multiplication of z1 with
z2 is denoted by z1z2 and is defined as the complex number.
(a1a2 – b1 b2) + i (a1b2 + a2b1)
Properties of Multiplication :
(i) Multiplication is commutative. For any two complex numbers z1 and z2, we have
z1 z2 = z2 z1
(ii) Multiplication is associative : For any three complex numbers z1, z2, z3 we have
(z1 z2) z3 = z1 (z2 z3)
(iii) Existence of identity element for multiplication. The complex number 1 = 1 + i0 is the identity element for
multiplication i.e. for every complex number z, we have
z.1=z
(iv) Exitence of multiplicative inverse : Corresponding to every non-zero complex number z = a + ib there exists
a complex number z1 = x + iy such that
1
z . z 1 = 1 z1
