kInputting Complex Numbers

•In the CMPLX Mode, the Wkey changes function to become an imaginary number i input key. In this section, the Wkey is referred to as the ikey. Use the ikey when inputting a complex number of the format a + bi. The key operation below shows how to input 2 + 3i, for example.

2+3i

•You can also input complex numbers using polar coordinate format (r ∠ θ). The key operation below shows how to input 5 ∠ 30, for example.

51y(∠)30

•The angle unit for argument θ input and result display is the calculator’s default angle unit.

kCalculation Result Display Format

Your calculator can display complex number calculation results in rectangular coordinate or polar coordinate format. You can select the coordinate format by configuring the calculator’s setup. For more information, see “Specifying the Complex Number Display Format”.

Examples of Calculation Results Using Rectangular Coordinate Format (a + bi)

Example 1: 2 ⋅ ('3 + i) = 2'3 + 2i = 3.464101615 + 2i
