Using the Complex Submenu
The [Complex] submenu contains commands that relate to calculations that involve complex numbers.
u
arg
[Action][Complex][arg]
Function: Returns the argument of a complex number.
Syntax: arg (Exp/Eq/List/Mat [ ) ]
Example: To obtain the argument of complex 2 +
i
(in the Radian mode)
u
conjg
[Action][Complex][conjg]
Function: Returns the conjugate complex number.
Syntax: conjg (Exp/Eq/Ineq
/List/Mat [ ) ]
(Ineq
: Real mode only)
Example: To obtain the conjugate of complex number 1 +
i
u
re
[Action][Complex][re]
Function: Returns the real part of a complex number.
Syntax: re (Exp/Eq/Ineq
/List/Mat [ ) ]
(Ineq
: Real mode only)
Example: To obtain the real part of complex number 3 – 4
i
u
im
[Action][Complex][im]
Function: Returns the imaginary part of a complex number.
Syntax: im (Exp/Eq/Ineq
/List/Mat [ ) ]
(Ineq
: Real mode only)
Example: To obtain the imaginary part of complex number 3 – 4
i
u
cExpand
[Action][Complex][cExpand]
Function: Expands a complex expression to rectangular form (a + b
i
).
Syntax: cExpand (Exp/Eq/List/Mat [ ) ]
• The variables are regarded as real numbers.
Example: To expand cos
–1
(2) (in the Radian mode)
u
compToPol
[Action][Complex][compToPol]
Function: Transforms a complex number into its polar form.
Syntax: compToPol (Exp/Eq/List/Mat [ ) ]
• When the argument is Mat (Matrices), calculation can be performed using the Radian angle unit only.
Example: To transform 1 +
i
into its polar form
Radian mode
Degree mode
Grad mode
u
compToTrig
[Action][Complex][compToTrig]
Function: Transforms a complex number into its trigonometric/hyperbolic form.
Syntax: compToTrig (Exp/Eq/List/Mat [ ) ]
Example: To transform 1 +
i
into its trigonometric form (in the Radian mode)
