📚 Key Concepts
Complex numbers (a + bi)Imaginary unit i (i² = -1)Algebra of complex numbersGeometric representation (Argand plane)Modulus and argumentConjugate of complex numbersPolar representationQuadratic equations with complex roots
🎯 Key Formulas
For complex numbers z = a + bi:- Modulus: |z| = √(a² + b²)
- Conjugate: z̄ = a - bi
- Argument: arg(z) = tan⁻¹(b/a)
Powers of i:Polar form: r(cosθ + i sinθ)If α + iβ is a root, then α - iβ is also a root
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Forgetting i² = -1 while simplifyingWrong modulus calculationIncorrect conjugate usageErrors in polar representationMistakes in argument calculationWrong application of complex roots in quadratic equations
