Operations with Complex Numbers

The HP 35s can use complex numbers in the form

 

It has operations for complex arithmetic (+, –, , ), complex trigonometry (sin, cos, tan), and the mathematics functions z, 1/z, z1z2 , ln z, and e z. (where z1 and z2 are complex numbers).

The form, x+yi, is only available in ALG mode.

To enter a complex number:

Form:  

1.Type the real part.

2.Press6.

3.Type the imaginary part.

Form: 

1.Type the real part.

2.Press

3.Type the imaginary part.

4.Press6.

Form: 

1.Type the value of r.

2.Press?.

3.Type the value of θ.

The examples in this chapter all utilize RPN mode unless otherwise noted.
