If i understand correctly, the discovery of complex numbers was linked to solving real number problems, s.a. finding square roots of negative numbers. In other words, at first there was a problem that was formulated using real numbers only that had no real number solutions, which lead to...

The transformation T maps the plane onto itself by multiplication by a complex number. That is, there is a complex number C=a+ib such that for any point P(x,y), T(P) is the point corresponding to the complex number C⋅P. For a particular complex number C the transformation T takes the smaller...

If I define the complex number z = r exp(i θ) how z = uv, so, how to express u and v in terms of r and θ? u(r, θ) = ? v(r, θ) = ? And the inverse too: r(u, v) = ? θ(u, v) = ?

I was me asking why the complex numbers are defined how z = x + i y !? Is this definition the better definition or was chosen by chance? In mathematics, some things are defined by chance, for example: 0 is the multiplicative neutral element and your multiplicative inverse (0-) is the ∞. But, 1...

I am interested to find the length shown in red in the attached figure. I want this length as a function of d (shown in blue) and the angle θ. Then I will integrate this length to dθ from 0 to π/2. Firstly, I used the law of the triangle to determine the length s which when subtracted from the...

As you can see, it says that -110 (-1 to the tenth is just -1), multiplied by i, is somehow i. Everywhere I have looked, -1 times i is negative i, but this problem disagrees. Am I missing something?

Hi - in an example, I can't follow the working from one of the steps to the next, the 2 steps are: $... \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\left(1-i\right)} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{e^{-i(\frac{\pi}{4}-2n\pi)}}}$ I can see they equate $ \frac{1-i}{\sqrt{2}} = e^{-i(\frac{\pi}{4}-2n\pi)}$, and I can see the $...
