Addition of Two Complex Numbers Represented in Algebraic (Rectangular) Form

In order to add two complex numbers represented in algebraic (rectangular) form, you need to add their real and imaginary parts:
(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i

Let's give examples:

Example 1. Add two complex numbers 2 + 3i and 1.6 + 7i

(2 + 3i) + (1.6 + 7i) = (2 + 1.6) + (3 + 7)i = 3.6 + 10i


Example 2. Let us add two complex numbers 3 + 4i and 8 − 6i

(3 + 4i) + (8 − 6i) = (3 + 8) + (4 − 6i) = 11 − 2i


Addition of Real and Complex Numbers Represented in Algebraic (Rectangular) Form

To add a complex number a + bi and a real number c, you need to add a real number to the real part of the complex number:
(a + bi) + c = (a + c) + bi

Let's give examples:

Example 1. Add the complex number 2 + 3i and the real number 10

(2 + 3i) + 10 = (2 + 10) + 3i = 12 + 3i


Example 2. Add the complex number −6 + 3i and the real number -23

(−6 + 3i) + (−23) = (−6 + (−23)) + 3i = −29 + 3i


Subtraction of Two Complex Numbers Represented in Algebraic (Rectangular) Form

In order to subtract two complex numbers represented in algebraic (rectangular) form, you need to subtract their real and imaginary parts:
(a + bi) − (c + di) = (a − c) + (b − d)i

Let's give examples:

Example 1. Subtract two complex numbers 3 + 9i and 5 + 6i

(3 + 9i) − (5 + 6i) = (3 − 5) + (9 − 6)i = −2 + 3i


Example 2. Subtract two complex numbers 6 + 23i and 57 + 68i

(6 + 23i) − (57 + 68i) = (6 − 57) + (23 − 68)i = −51 − 45i


Subtracting a Complex Number From a Real Number

To subtract the complex number c + di from a real number a, use the formula below:

6 − (1 + 7i) = (6 − 1) + 7i = 5 − 7i

(5 + 12i) − 8 = (5 − 8) + 12i = −3 + 12i

Representation of a Complex Number Represented in Exponential Form in Polar Form

To convert a complex number in exponential form to polar form, use the formula below:
|z| eφi = |z| × (cos φ + i sin φ), where

|z| − modulus of complex number z
φ − argument of complex number z

Representation of a Complex Number Written in Exponential Form in Algebraic (Rectangular) Form

In order to convert a complex number in exponential form to algebraic (rectangular) form, the number must first be converted to polar form.
|z| eφi = |z| × (cos φ + i sin φ), where
|z| − modulus of complex number z
φ − argument of complex number z
To convert a complex number from a polar form to an algebraic (rectangular) form z = a + bi, it is necessary to represent the real part of a as cos φ times the modulus |z|, and the imaginary part of b as sin φ times the modulus |z| complex number z.
|z| (cos φ + i sin φ) = (|z| × (cos φ)) + (|z| × (sin φ)i) = a + bi, where
a = |z| × cos φ
b = |z| × sin φ

Here's an example:

2 × e(π/3)i = 2 × (cos((π/3)) + sin((π/3))i) = 2 × (0.5 + 0.86602540378444i) = (2 × 0.5) + (2 × 0.86602540378444i) = 1 + 1.73205080756888i

Additive Inversion of a Complex Number

The additive inverse of a complex number is one that, when added to the original number, produces zero. The additive inverse of a complex number is a number in which the real and imaginary parts are multiplied by −1. To multiply the number −1 by the complex number a + bi. it is necessary to multiply the real and complex parts of the number a + bi by this number:
−1 × (a + bi) = (−1 × a) + (−1 × bi)

Here's an example:

Compute the additive inverse for the number z = 2 + 3i

−z = (−1 × 2) + (−1 × 3)i = −2−3i

Extracting the Nth Root of a Complex Number Represented in Algebraic (Rectangular) Form

Extract the 3rd root of the number 3 + 2i

To extract the nth root of a non-zero complex number. first, the given number must be converted to polar form.

In order to represent a complex number written in algebraic (rectangular) form in polar form, it is necessary to find the modulus and argument of the given complex number.
z = a + bi = |z| × (cos φ + i sin φ), where
|z| − modulus of a complex number z
φ − argument of a complex number z
The modulus of a complex number is equal to the distance from a point on the complex plane to the origin and is denoted by |z|.
The modulus of a complex number z is calculated by the formula:
|z| =
a2 + b2
|3 + 2i| =
32 + 22
=
9 + 4
=
13
= 3.60555127546399

The argument of a nonzero complex number is the angle φ between the radius vector of the corresponding point and the positive real semiaxis. The argument of the number z is denoted by Arg(z).
The complex number argument z is calculated by the formula:
Arg(z) = arctg(b/a), a > 0

Arg(z) = arctg(b/a) + π, a < 0

Arg(z) = π/2, b > 0 and a = 0

Arg(z) = −π/2, b < 0 and a = 0
The principal value of the argument must be such that −π < arctg(b/a) ⩽ π. The calculator calculates exactly the main value of the argument.

Arg(3 + 2i) = arctg(2/3) = 0.588002603547568 radians
Arg(3 + 2i) = arctg(2/3) = 33.6900675259798° degrees


Now we can write the complex number z in polar form:

z = 3 + 2i =
