If z1 = a+ib and z2 = r+is are two complex numbers , then their multiplication z1 * z2 can be expressed as [(ar - bs)+i(as+br)].
Let us see what happens geometrically when we multiply two complex numbers? To answer this question, it is advantageous to express complex numbers in their polar form.
With this approach we find that the product of two complex numbers w = r (cos α + i sin α) and z = s (cos β + i sin β) is given by w.z = r s [(cos (α+β) + i sin (α+β)].
This means that, when multiplying two complex numbers w and z, we multiply their moduli and we add the angles which w and z make with the positive x-direction.

ooo... that helped a lot. thank you sir
ReplyDeleteA number which can be put in the form a + bi termed as complex number, where a and b are real numbers and i is called the imaginary unit,in given expression "a" is the real part and b is the imaginary part of the complex number. The complex number can be identified with the point (a, b).
