Complex Numbers

The calculator performs the following complex number calculations:

•

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

•

Argument and absolute value calculations

•

Reciprocal, square, and cube calculations

•

Complex Conjugate number calculations

Set the calculator to DEC mode when computing with complex numbers.

q $ $ $ Selects the REAL menu. Use ! and " to scroll with in the REAL menu to highlight the desired complex results format a+bi, or r±q, and press <.

REAL, a+bi, or r±q set the format of complex number results.

a+bi rectangular complex results

r±q polar complex results

Notes:

•

Complex results are not displayed unless complex numbers are entered.

•

To access i on the keypad, use the multi-tap key g.

•

Variables x, y, z, t, a, b, c, and d are real or complex.

•

Complex numbers can be stored.

•

For conj(, real(, and imag(, the argument can be in either rectangular or polar form. The output for conj( is determined by the mode setting.

•

The output for real( and imag( are real numbers.

•

Set mode to DEGREE or RADIAN depending on the angle measure needed.

Complex Menu	Description
1:±	± (polar angle character) Lets you paste the polar representation of a complex number (such as 5±p).
2:polar angle	Returns the polar angle of a complex number. Syntax: angle(value)
3:magnitude	Returns the magnitude (modulus) of a complex number. Syntax: abs(value) (or \|þ\| in MathPrint™ mode)
4:4r±q	Displays a complex result in polar form. Valid only at the end of an expression.
5:4a+bi	Displays a complex result in rectangular form. Valid only at the end of an expression.
6:conjugate	Returns the conjugate of a complex number. Syntax: conj(value)
7:real	Returns the real part of a complex number. Syntax: real(value)
8:imaginary	Returns the imaginary (nonreal) part of a complex number. Syntax: imag(value)
