The Complex Plane
Just as real numbers can be represented by points on the real number line, you can represent a complex numberz = a + bi as the point (a, b) in a coordinate plane (the complex plane).
The horizontal axis is called thereal axis and the vertical axis iscalled the imaginary axis, asshown in Figure 6.47.

The Complex Plane
The absolute value of a complex number a + bi is defined as the distance between the origin (0, 0) and the point (a, b).

The Complex Plane
When the complex number a + bi is a real number (that is, when b = 0), this definition agrees with that given for the absolute value of a real number
|a + 0i| =
= |a|.

To work effectively with powers and roots of complex numbers, it is helpful to write complex numbers in trigonometric form.
In Figure 6.49, consider thenonzero complex numbera + bi.

Trigonometric Form of a Complex Number
By letting be the angle from the positive real axis (measured counterclockwise) to the line segment connecting the origin and the point (a, b) you can write
a = r cos and b = r sin
where r =
Consequently, you have
a + bi = (r cos ) + (r sin )i
from which you can obtain the trigonometric form of a complex number.

Example 2 – Writing a Complex Number in Trigonometric Form
Write the complex number z = –2i in trigonometric form.
Solution:
The absolute value of z is
r = | –2i |
= 2.

Example 2 – Solution
With a = 0, you cannot use tan = b/a to find . Because z = –2i lies on the negative imaginary axis (see Figure 6.50), choose = 3 /2.
So, the trigonometric form is
z = r (cos + i sin )

Multiplication and Division of Complex Numbers
The trigonometric form adapts nicely to multiplication and division of complex numbers.
Suppose you are given two complex numbers
z1 = r1(cos 1 + i sin 1)
and
z2 = r2(cos 2 + i sin 2)
![Page 18: Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 6.5 Trigonometric Form of a Complex Number](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e415503460f94b33242/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Multiplication and Division of Complex Numbers
The product of z1 and z2 is
z1z2 = r1r2(cos 1 + i sin 1)(cos 2 + i sin 2)
= r1r2 [(cos 1 cos 2 – sin 1 sin 2)
+ i(sin 1 cos 2 + cos 1 sin 2)]
= r1r2 [(cos (1 + 2) + i sin(1 + 2)].Sum and differenceformulas

Powers of Complex Numbers

Powers of Complex Numbers
The trigonometric form of a complex number is used to raise a complex number to a power. To accomplish this, consider repeated use of the multiplication rule.
Read this slide and the next, but do not copy.
z = r (cos + i sin )
z2 = r (cos + i sin ) r (cos + i sin )
= r2 (cos 2 + i sin 2 )
z3 = r2
(cos 2 + i sin 2 ) r (cos + i sin )
= r3(cos 3 + i sin 3 )

Powers of Complex Numbers
z4 = r
4(cos 4 + i sin 4 )
z5 = r
5(cos 5 + i sin 5 ) . . .
This pattern leads to DeMoivre’s Theorem, which is named after the French mathematician Abraham DeMoivre (1667–1754).
