Subtraction
z1-z2=(x1-x2)+i(y1-y2)
Multiplication
(z1.z2)=(x1+iy1).(x2+iy2)
Division
To divide complex number by another , first write quotient as a fraction. Then reduce the
fraction to rectangular form by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the complex
conjugate of the denominator making the denominator real.
Points to remember
1. Complex conjugate of z=x+iy is =xiy
2. Modulus of the absolute value of z is denoted by |z| and is defined by (x2+y2)
3. Let r be any non negative number and any real number. If we take x=rcos and
y=rsin then, r=(x2+y2) which is the modulus of z and
which is the argument or
amplitude of z and is denoted by arg.z

we also have
x+iy=r(cos+isin)=r[cos(2n+)+isin(2n+)] , where n=0, 1, 2, ....
4. Argument of a complex number is not unique since if is the value of argument
then
(n=0, 1, 2, .) are also values of the argument. Thus, argument of complex
number can have infinite number of values which differ from each other by any multiple of 2?.
5. Arg(0) is not defined.
6. argument of positive real number is zero.
7. argument of negative real number is
8. Properties of moduli:
|z1+z2||z1|+|z2|
|z1-z2||z1|-|z2|
|z1z2|=|z1||z2|
|z1/z2|=|z1|/|z2|
