See Also [[Further Maths - Complex Numbers]]S Sergeant further-maths/textbooks/year-2/chapter-1-complex-numbers/ex1a Flashcards What is Euler’s relation?? $$ e^{i\theta} = cos \theta + i \sin \theta $$
Why can you rewrite $e^{i\theta}$ as $\cos\theta + i\sin\theta$?? Because the Macluarin series of $\sin x$, $\cos x$ and $e^x$ match up.
How can you write a complex number with argument $\theta$ and moudlus $r$ in exponential form?? $$ re^{i\theta} $$
$$e^{\pi i} = -1$$ What is this identity a special case of?

In , how could you write the distance between the two points?? $$ |z_2 - z_1| $$
This result is a case of what result for vectors?? $$ \vec{AB} = b - a $$
For two complex numbers $z_1$ and $z_2$, how could you write the distance between them?? $$ |z_2 - z_1| $$
If $z$ is a variable representing any complex number and $z_1$ is a fixed point, what is $|z - z_2|?? The distance from $z$ to $z_2$.

What is the name for $|z|$?? The modulus of $z$.
What is the value of $|z|$, where $z = a + bi$?? $$ \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} $$
What is the value of $|z|^2$, where $z = a + bi$?? $$ a^2 + b^2 $$
If $|z|^2 = a^2 + b^2$, how could you also write $|z|^2$?? $$ (a + bi)(a - bi) $$
What is the word definition of the modulus of $z$?? The distance to $z$ from the origin.

Argand Diagrams Argand diagrams are a way of representing complex numbers by imagining them as points on a plane. In an Argand diagram:
The $x$-axis is the “real” axis The $y$-axis is the “imaginary axis The complex number $z = x + yi$ can be represented on the diagram by the point $P(x, y)$ where $x$ and $y$ are coordinates. In other words:
The horizontal position represents the real part of $z$. The vertical position represents the imaginary part of $z$.
