Definition:
A complex number is 2 nu! :
2 =x + yi where x and y are real numbers i=
satisfies the equation i? = —1 in this expression
and y is the imaginary part of

2.2.1. Conjugate of a complex number
ber. Then a complex number obtained
Let z = x + yi be a complex numl
by changing the sign of imaginary part of the complex number is called the
conjugate of z and it is denoted by 2, ie. 2= * F yi. Note that if z= x + yi
then the additive inverse of z is —x — yi but conjugate of zis x — yi.
Conjugate properties:
1) 2=07=0 2) Z=-z @ Re(z) = 0

Geometrically, the number z = x + yi is the distance between the point

Let 2=x-+yi bea complex number. Thes the positive square root of the
sum of square of real part and square of imaginary part is called modulus
(absolute value) of z and it is denoted by |z| ic., [zl = x2 + y2

Example (1): If a point z lies on the unit circle |z| = 1 about the origin, shoy,
that |z? — 2| <3 and |z?-2|21. |
Solution:
We have |z| = 1, and |z? — 2| < [231 +2 =3 (property FY
Also |z3 — 2] 2 |lzI? - 2) =1 : (property 1 ) /
Example (2); If z is appoint inside the circle center at the origin with radius 2,
show that |z3 + 3z? — 2z + 1| < 25
Solution: n
since z is an interior point of the given circle, then |z| < 2 and || = |z|"
[23 +32? — 2241] <|z2[? + 3lz|? —2|z|+1< 25
2.2.3 Geometric representation of complex number
Definition:
A complex number z = x + yi can be represented by a unique point
P(x,y) in the Cartesian plane referred to a pair of rectangular axes, The
complex number (0 + Oi) represent the origin 0 ( 0, 0). A purely real number
x, i.e., (x + Oi) is represented by the point (x,0) on x-axis. Therefore, x-axis
is called real axis. A purely imaginary number yi, iLe., (0 + yi) is represented
by the point (0, y) on y-axis. Therefore, y-axis is called imaginary axis.
Similarly, the representation of complex numbers as points in the plane
is known as Argand diagram. The plane representing complex numbers as
points is called complex plane or Argand plane or Gaussian plane.
If two complex numbers z; and z, be represented by the points P and Q in the
complex plane, then |z, ~ z,| = PQ
40Example (3): The complex numbers z = x + yi, having two components, their
real and imaginary parts, can be represented in Cartesian form or rectangular
form. There is several possible representations of this complex number.
1. The Re(z) = x and Im(z) = y, then can be represented as in figure (1).
2. The length, magnitude or modulus of the complex number is the distance
from the origin, 0 (the point 0 + Oi) to the point P. This distance is
represented by
OP =|z|=|x + yil= yx? ty? =r = re =x? +y’,
it's a circle with center (0,0) and radius r as in figure (2).
