Complex number functions

 

These functions are for complex numbers only. You can also

 

use complex numbers with all trigonometric and hyperbolic

 

functions, and with some real-number and keyboard

 

functions. Enter complex numbers in the form (x,y), where x

 

is the real part and y is the imaginary part.

ARG

Argument. Finds the angle defined by a complex number.

 

Inputs and outputs use the current angle format set in Modes.

 

ARG((x,y))

 

Example

 

ARG((3,3)) returns 45 (Degrees mode)

CONJ

Complex conjugate. Conjugation is the negation (sign

 

reversal) of the imaginary part of a complex number.

 

CONJ((x,y))

 

Example

 

CONJ((3,4)) returns (3,-4)

IM

Imaginary part, y, of a complex number, (x,y).

 

IM ((x,y))

 

Example

 

IM((3,4)) returns 4

RE

Real part x, of a complex number, (x,y).

 

RE((x,y))

 

Example

 

RE((3,4)) returns 3
