Chapter 1 - Complex numbers

        Help!  

Term
Definition
The imaginary unit   i = sqrt(-1)  
🗑
"real" numbers definition   non-imaginary numbers  
🗑
"imaginary" numbers definition   numbers defined only in terms of i  
🗑
complex numbers definition   a number that has real and imaginary parts  
🗑
general form of a complex number   z = a + bi  
🗑
addition of complex numbers   z1 + z2 = a + bi + c + di = (a+ c) + (b + d)i  
🗑
multiplication of complex numbers   z1z2 = (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + (ad + bc)i - bd  
🗑
summation of 2 squares formula   a^2 + b^2 = (a + bi)(a - bi)  
🗑
i^n function   has period 4, i -> -1 -> -i -> 1  
🗑
the complex conjugate of z   if z = a + bi, z* = z - bi  
🗑
complex division   equivilant to realising the denominator, multiply the numerator/denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator  
🗑
solving for z   let z = a + bi, expand as necessary. Form 2 equations from the real and imaginary parts and solve simutaniously  
🗑
quadratic in terms of its roots   x^2 -(Alpha + Beta)x + (AlphaBeta)  
🗑
sum of the roots of a quadratic   Alpha + Beta = -b/a  
🗑
multiplication of the roots of a quadratic   AlphaBeta = c/a  
🗑
imaginary roots   complex roots of a polynomial with real co-effecients always come in conjugate pairs  
🗑
General roots   Σα = -b/a Σαβ = c/a Σαβγ = -d/a Σαβγδ = e/a etc  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
