Define the imaginary number
If z = x + iy
i = −1 then x is the real part of z
so that
and y is the imaginary part
i 2 = −1,
i 3 = i ⋅ i 2 = −i
i 4 = i 2i 2 = −1 ⋅ −1 = 1 If z = x + iy then
the conjugate of z ,
written z or z *

Let z = a + ib Addition/ subtraction
and w = c + id z ± w = ( a + c ) ± i (b + d )
Multiplication Equivalence
z ⋅ w = (a + ib)(c + id ) Complex numbers:
Arithmetic z = w ⇔ a = c and b = d
= (ac − bd ) + i (ad + bc)

z n = r n cis ( n θ )
Polar/ exponential form: Mult/division = r n e i ( nθ )
If z = r cis θ = re iθ and w = s cis ω = se i ω
then
z ⋅ w = rs cis( θ + ω ) = r se i( θ + ω )
