@ Argand diagrams
m= You can represent complex numbers on an Argand diagram. The x-axis
on an Argand diagram is called the real axis and the y-axis is called the
imaginary axis. The complex number z = x + iy is represented on the
diagram by the point P(x, y), where x and y are Cartesian coordinates.
Example (1)

The real part of each number describes its
horizontal position, and the imaginary part
describes its vertical position. For example,
4 +i has real part ~4 and imaginary part 1
Note that =, and 2s are complex conjugates. On
‘an Argand diagram, complex conjugate pairs are
symmetrical about the real axis. € Section 1.3,
Complex numbers can also be represented as vectors on the Argend diagram.

Summary of key points
1. You can represent complex numbers on an Argand diagram. The x-axis on an Argand
diagram is called the real axis and the y-axis is called the imaginary axis. The complex
number z = x + ip is represented on the diagram by the point P(x, »), where x and y are
Cartesian coordinates.
2 The complex number =
x + iy can be represented as the vector (;,) on an Argand diagram.
3 The modulus of a complex number, [zis the distance from the origin to that number on an
Argand diagram. For a complex number 2 = x + iy, the modulus is given by z| = yx?
4 The argument of a complex number, arg =, is the angle between the positive real axis and the
line joining that number to the origin on an Argand diagram. For a complex number
+ iy, the argument, 4, satisfies tand =~

@ Roots of a quadratic equation
A quadratic equation of the form ax? + bx +
x €C, where a, band c are real constants, can
have two real roots, one repeated (real) root or
two complex roots.
% IF the roots of a quadratic equation
with real coefficients are complex, then they
occurasa conjugate pair. Section 1.4
IF the roots of this equation are a and 8, you can determine the relationship between the
coefficients of the terms in the quadratic equation and the values of a and
