Here’s something that someone has almost
certainly spoiled for you already…

Complex versus imaginary numbers

?𝑏 ∈ ℝ
Complex number: of form

? 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ ℝ

Putting complex numbers in the preferred form
We tend to ensure real and imaginary components are grouped together.
(a, b and c are real constants)
? + b)i
a + 3i – 4 + bi
= a – 4 + (3
2a – 3bi + 3 – 6ci = 2a+3 – 3(b
? + 2c)i
Convention 1
Just like we’d write 6 instead of 6, the i appears after any real constants, so
we might write 5ki or i.
An exception is when we involve a function.
e.g. i sin  and i√3
Why? This avoids ambiguity over whether ?
the function is being applied to the i.
Convention 2
In the same way that we often initially use x and y as real-valued variables, we
often use z first to represent complex values, then w.
Why complex numbers?
Complex numbers were originally introduced by the Italian mathematician Cardano in the 1500s to allow him to
represent the roots of polynomials which weren’t ‘real’. They can also be used to represent outputs of functions
for inputs not in the usual valid domain, e.g. Logs of negative numbers, or even the factorial of negative
numbers!
Some other major applications of Complex Numbers:
1
Fractals
A Mandelbrot Set is the most popular ‘fractal’. For
each possible complex number c, we see if zn+1 =
zn2 + c is not divergent (using z0 = 0), leading to the
diagram on the right. Coloured diagrams can be
obtained by seeing how quickly divergence occurs
for each complex c (if divergent).
2
This is called an Argand
Diagram. We’ll use it later.
Analytic Number Theory
Number Theory is the study of integers. Analytic Number Theory treats integers as
reals/complex numbers to use other (‘analytic’) methods to study them. For example,
the Riemann Zeta Function allows complex numbers as inputs, and is closely related to
the distribution of prime numbers.

Multiplying
Example: Let z1 = 1 + 3i and z2 = 5 – 2i, find z1z2.
(1 + 3i)(5 – 2i) = 5 – 2i + 5i – 6i2

this is that i2 reverses the sign.

determine (1 + i)5.

What is the value of:
a) i100 = (i4)25 =?125 = 1
b) i2003 = i2000 x i3 ?

Complex Conjugates
Remember in C1 how we rationalised the denominator?
3
4− 2
Suppose x1 = a + √b and x2 = a - √b
Then:
x1 x2 = a 2 – b
x1 + x2 = 2a
Both these results are rational.
?
The same trick works with complex numbers.
! If z = x + yi, then we define z* = x – yi.
z* is known as the complex conjugate of z.
z z* = x2 + ?
y2
z + z* = 2x ?
which are both real.?
The fact the first is real
will help us with
dividing complex
numbers.
We’ll see the
significance of the
second later.

giving your answer in the form a + bi.
z = 3 – 7i (either by dividing 10 – 5i by 2 + i and

In FP2, you’ll encounter something called ‘polar coordinates’. This is an alternative

Cartesian coordinate), uses the distance from the origin and the angle.

|z1z2| and arg(z1z2)
When we multiply two complex numbers, we multiply their moduli, and we add their
arguments.
So can we prove this, i.e. that:
𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐 = 𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐
and
𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐 = 𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝒛𝟏 + 𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝒛𝟐
Let 𝒛𝟏 = 𝒓𝟏 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽𝟏 + 𝒊 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽𝟐 and 𝒛𝟏 = 𝒓𝟏 𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝜽𝟏 + 𝒊 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝜽𝟐 .
Then 𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐 = 𝒓𝟏 𝒓𝟐 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽𝟏 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽𝟐 − 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽𝟏 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽𝟐 + 𝒊 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽𝟏 𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝜽𝟐 + 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝜽𝟏 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽𝟐
= 𝒓𝟏 𝒓𝟐 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽𝟏 + 𝜽𝟐 + 𝒊 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽𝟏?+ 𝜽𝟐
So 𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐 = 𝒓𝟏 𝒓𝟐 = 𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐
and 𝒂𝒓𝒈 𝒛𝟏 𝒛𝟐 = 𝜽𝟏 + 𝜽𝟐 = 𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝒛𝟏 + 𝐚𝐫𝐠 𝒛𝟐
The following C3 identities may be useful:
cos 𝑎 + 𝑏 = cos 𝑎 cos 𝑏 − sin 𝑎 sin 𝑏
sin 𝑎 + 𝑏 = sin 𝑎 cos 𝑏 + cos 𝑎 sin 𝑏
Comparing coefficients
If two complex numbers are equal, then clearly both their real and imaginary
parts are equal. i.e. if 𝑎1 + 𝑏1 𝑖 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 𝑖 then 𝑎1 = 𝑎2 and 𝑏1 = 𝑏2 .
Q Given that 3 + 5𝑖 = (𝑎 + 𝑖𝑏)(1 + 𝑖) where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are real,

Roots of polynomials
Any cubic (with coefficient of x3 of 1) can be expressed as:
y = (x – α)(x – )(x – )
where α,  and  are the roots.
However, these 3 roots may not necessarily all be real...

All 3 roots are real.

3 real roots (one
? repeated)
Are there any other possibilities?
No: since cubics have a range of – to +, it must cross the x axis.
And it can’t cross an even number of times, otherwise the cubic
would start and end in the same vertical direction.
?
=
Roots of polynomials
Classic Question:
x = 2 is one of the roots of the polynomial x3 – x – 6
Find the other two roots.
Use polynomial division (as per C2) to divide x3 – x – 6 by (x – 2).
This gives x2 + 2x + 3.
?
Using the quadratic formula, we obtain the roots:
x = -1  i√2
Your Go:
x = -1/2 is one of the roots of the polynomial 2x3 – 5x2 + 5x + 4.
Find the other two roots.
We could divide by (x + ½), but it would be cleaner to divide by (2x + 1).
This gives x^2 – 3x + 4. Using the quadratic formula, we obtain the roots:
?
x = - ½ (3  i√7)
Relationship between complex roots
For the first cubic, we found the two complex roots were:
x = -1  i√2
Q
What is the relationship between these two roots?
They’re complex conjugates.
?
Q
Can we prove this will always be the case for cubics with real coefficients?
Suppose a and b are the two complex roots. Then (x – α)(x – β) in the
expansion must give real coefficients.
(x – α)(x – β) = x2 – (a + β)x + αβ
Therefore α + β and αβ must both be real. We saw earlier that this is
satisfied when α and β are complex conjugates.
?
(Although technically our proof isn’t complete, because we’ve shown that the roots being
complex conjugates is a sufficient condition for the coefficients of the cubic being real, not a
necessary one. However, we know the imaginary components of α and β must be the same but
negative of each other, so that in α + β they cancel out, and we can proceed from there to show
the real components of α and β must be the same).
In summary, complex roots of polynomials always come in
complex conjugate pairs.
Finding other roots
Another classic type of exam question:
-1 + 2i is one of the roots of the cubic x3 – x2 – x – 15.
Find the other two roots.
Other complex root is the complex conjugate: -1 – 2i.
Now expand (x – (-1 + 2i))(x – (-1 – 2i))
= x2 – (-1 – 2i)x – (-1 + 2i)x + (-1 + 2i)(-1 – 2i)
= x2 + 2x + 5
?
We can now either use polynomial division or “Factor
Theorem with trial and error” to establish the real root as 3.
Your turn:
2 – i is one of the roots of the cubic x3 – 11x + 20.
Find the other two roots.
2 + i is other complex root.
(x – (2 + i))(x – (2 – i)) = x2 – 4x
? + 5.
Dividing we get (x + 4), so real root is -4.
Quartics
Any quartic (with coefficient of x4 of 1) can be expressed as:
y = (x – α)(x – )(x – )(x – δ)
where α, ,  and δ are the roots.

Possibility 1:

Possibility 2:

Possibility 3:

roots.
Any other possibilities?
No. On y-axis, both ends of line must either be both positive infinity or both negative. xaxis must therefore be crossed an even number of times, so an even number of real roots.
