APPENDIX EK Complex Numbers @ E.! DEFINITIONS; ALGEBRA OF COMPLEX NUMBERS DEFINITION OF 4 ‘COMPLEX NUMBER Since x? > 0 for every real number x, the equation x* = 1 has no real solutions. To deal ‘with this problem, mathematicians of the eighteemth century introduced the imaginary number i=\/~=1, which they assumed had the property eat Expressions of the form a + bi were called complex numbers, and these wege manipulated according to the standard rules of algebra with the added property that i? = 1, By the beginning of the nineteenth century it was recognized that a complex number a + bi could be viewed as an’ordered pair of real numbers (a,6) or as @ vector (a, 6). This is the approach we will follow. DERINMTION 1. A complex number is an ordered pair of real numbers, denoted either by (a,b) ora + Bi. The marabera is called the real part ofthe complex aurnber, andthe ruraber b is called the imaginary part. : Sometimes itis convenient to use a single letter, such as z, to denote a complex number. Thus, we might write reatbi in which case the real and imaginary parts of z are denoted by Re(<) and Im(e), respectively; that is, Re(2) — a and Im(2) = b. Real numbers can be regarded as complex numbers that have an imaginary part of zero; that is, a = a + Oi, In this sense the complex. number system is an extension of the real number system.

Figure E.2 shows the complex numbers in Example 1 as points end vectors in the complex plane.

Multiplication of two complex numbers can be motivated by expanding the expression (@ + bie + di) according to the usual laws of algebra, but weating /? as —1: that is,” (a + bike + di) = ac + bali? + adi + bei = (ae — bd) + (ad + bey ‘Thus, we define the product of complex numbers as (a+ bi) (c+ di) =(ac—bd)+(ad +e) @ For computational purposes, we suggest using the method that led to the formula in this efinition, rather than substituting inthe formula itself.

Moreover, note that division of complex nurnbers is undefined if the denominator is 2er0, just as for real numbers.

It can be proved that such equations always have solutions in the ‘complex number system and that if z is a solution, then so is Z. Thus, the solutions with nonzero imaginary parts occur in conjugate pairs. For example, from the quadratic formula the solutions of the equation x? +x+2=0 are Vii 2 so the solutions x= —} + 3-V7i and x= -}—3-V7i are complex conjugates. Geometrically, complex conjugates are reflections of one another about the real axis nthe ~e Ca S00 WD eR ALON TCE RT agente EJ DEFINITIONS; ALGEBRA OF COMPLEX NUMBERS —A37 (Figure £4). Moreover, we leave it forthe exercises t show that complex conjugates have the following properties: Figure B4 MODULUS co) If a complex number zis viewed as a vector, then its length is called the modulus of z and is denoted by [z|.
