N= Natural numbers = (1, 2,3...) (0.1.23... Integers = (..2,-1,0,1, 2.3 W-Whole numbers Q = Rational numbers IR Irrational numbers = {,/2,3.n| C—Complex numbers A complex number is generally represented by the letter “z”, Every complex number z, can be written as, 2= where x,y eR andi=y-1 xis called the real part of complex number, and. y is the imaginary part of complex number. Note that the sign + does not indicate addition as normally understood, nordoes the symbol “i" denote a number. These are parts of the scheme used to express numbers of a new class and they signify the pair of real numbers (%y) toform a single complex number. y Imaginary axis| x x O| Real axis y Figure 6.1: Representation of a complex number on a plane Swiss-born mathematician Jean Robert Argand, after a systematic study on complex numbers, represented every complex number as a set of ordered pair (x,y) ona plane called complex plane. All complex numbers lying on the real axis were called purely real and those lying on imaginary axis as purely imaginary. Hence, the complex number 0-01 is purely real as well as purely imaginary but it is not imaginary. 6.2 | Complex Number Note Purely eal ity = 0 zextiyis Purely imaginary ifx = 0 120 Complex number if 2 9 re 6.2: Classification of @ complex number (a) The symbol i combines itself with real number as per the tule of algebra together with Baa; Psi 21; 7 = 2; PS jo Lei ai ito jt tos In general, i =1. “i, mel and i®* +i? +14? 43! Hence, 1+ +? +... 24 + PS <0 (b) The imaginary part of every real number can be treated as zero. Hence, there is one-one mapping between the set of complex numbers and the set of points on the complex plane. Complex number as an ordered pair: A complex number may also be defined as an ordered pair of real numbers and may be denoted by the symbol(a, b). For a complex number to be uniquely specified, we need two real numbers in a particular order. Vaibhav Gupta (JEE 2009, AIR 54) 2.

If a + ib > + id is meaningful only if b = d = 0. However, equalities in complex numbers are meaningtul. Two complex numbers z, and 2, are said to be equal if Re (z,) =Re(z,) and Im (z,) =Im(2,).

IMPORTANT TERMS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLEX NUMBER Three important terms associated with complex number are conjugate, modulus and argument. (a) Conjugate: If z= x + iy thenits complex conjugate is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary partand denoted by Zie. Z ~ x— iy (see Fig 6.3). The conjugate satisfies following basic properties @ 242=2R2@) i Im (2) zz-vay?

General values of argument of z are complex number given by 2nz-+0, n eI. Hence ary two successive arguments differ by 2n Note: A complex number is completely defined by specifying both modulus and argument. However for the complex number 0 + Oj the argument is not defined and this Is the only complex number which is completely defined by its modulus only () Amplitude (Principal value of argument): The unique value of 9 such that —r<0+x is called principal value of argument, Uniess otherwise stated, amp z refers to the principal value of argument. Least positive argument: The value of 0 such that 0 < 0 < 2r is called the least positive argument.

X-coordinate of point P represents the real part of the complex number and y-coordinate represents the imaginary part of the complex number. Complex number x + Oi (teal number) is represented by a point (x, 0) lying on the x-axis, Therefore, x-axisis called the real axis. Similarly, a complex number 0 + iy (imaginary number) is represented by a point on y-axis. Therefore, canis is called the imaginary axis, The plane on which a complex number is represented is called complex y rnumber plane or simply complex plane or Argand plane (see Fig 66).
