Lucan Community College Mathematics Department Complex Numbers 5th Year Maths – February 7 2010 - Mr Duffy Please Read and study the following notes on (1) Division of Complex Nos. and (2) The equality of Complex Nos. Write a summary of this into your hardbacks for Tuesday’s class. (1) Division of Complex Numbers Reminder from Friday’s Class: The conjugate of the complex number (a + bi) is (a – bi) ie. Change teh sign of the imaginary part ONLY. For any two complex conjugates (a + bi) and (a – bi): (a + bi)(a – bi) = a + b [conjugate product rule – 1st no squared + 2nd no. squared.] To divide two complex numbers, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. Example. Divide Solution: · = (3 7i)(5 2i) 52 22 Multiply, using FOIL in the numerator; use conjugate product rule in denominator = 15 6i 35i 14i 2 25 4 = 15 14 41i 29 Substitute –1 for i and collect like terms. = then separate the real and imaginary parts; both over the denominator = (2) Equality of Complex Numbers If we are told that 2 complex numbers are equal, we can let the real parts equal to each other and separately, let the imaginary parts equal to each other, therefore creating two equations. Example 1 If a bi c di Then we can say that a c and b d Please note, that when equating complex numbers, we never use the i part of the questions; we just use the numbers in front of the is (the coefficients). Example 2: If 5 i x (5 2 y )i , find the value of x and y. Step 1: If necessary, write both sides of the equation in the form of a real number plus or minus an imaginary number. On the LHS of the equation we clearly have 5 as our real number and -1 as our imaginary number. On the RHS of the equation we have x as our real number as it is not being multiplied or divided by any imaginary number. The imaginary number on the RHS is everything inside the bracket, as it is all being multiplied by the imaginary number. So, the imaginary part on the RHS is (5-2y) So, we get 5 x and 1 5 2y Step 2: Working on the second equation we get 1 5 2y 2y 5 1 2y = 6 6 y 2 y = 3 and x = 5 Example 3: Find a and b if 3(a bi) 4(ai b) 6 3i Solution Multiply out the brackets. 3a 3bi 4ai 4b 6 3i Tidy up the left hand side so that the real numbers are together and the imaginary numbers are together. {NB the real numbers are all the terms which do not have any i’s in them.} 3a 4b 3bi 4ai 6 3i [3a 4b] (3b 4a)i 6 3i put reals in bracket and factorise the i out of 2nd set of terms 3a 4b 6 3b 4a 3 We now have two equations which we need to solve simultaneously in order to find a and b. 3a 4b 6 4a 3b 3 Multiply the top equation by +4 and the bottom one by 3 12a 16b 24 12a 9b 9 25b 15 15 b 25 3 b 5 Subbing this vale for b into any of the original equations we can find our value for a. 3a 4b 6 3 3a 4( ) 6 5 3a 4(0.6) 6 3a 2.4 6 3a 6 2.4 3a 3.6 3 .6 a 3 a 1 .2 6 a 5 Now try the following sample questions on your own – finish for homework.
