Über Rechner für komplexe Zahlen

A complex number z = a + bi has a real part a and an imaginary part b, where i² = −1. Addition, subtraction and multiplication work in rectangular form; division multiplies top and bottom by the conjugate of the divisor. Powers and roots use polar form, z = r(cos θ + i sin θ): De Moivre's formula raises the modulus r to the power n and multiplies the angle θ by n.

Electrical engineers use complex numbers for AC impedance and phasors, and algebra students meet them as roots of polynomials. The default multiplies (3 + 4i)(1 − 2i) = 3 − 6i + 4i − 8i² = 11 − 2i, whose modulus is √125 ≈ 11.1803.

Inputs can be rectangular (3 + 4i, with j accepted for i) or polar (2∠90). Angles follow the degree, radian or gradian setting, and the argument is given between −180° and 180°. The Argand diagram draws each number as an arrow from the origin.

Fragen

How do you multiply complex numbers?

Expand the brackets and replace i² with −1: (a + bi)(c + di) = (ac − bd) + (ad + bc)i. For (3 + 4i)(1 − 2i) that is (3 + 8) + (−6 + 4)i = 11 − 2i. In polar form the rule is shorter: multiply the moduli and add the angles, so 5∠53.13° × 2.236∠−63.43° = 11.18∠−10.30°.

How do you divide complex numbers?

Multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the divisor, which makes the denominator a real number. (3 + 4i)/(1 − 2i) = (3 + 4i)(1 + 2i)/(1² + 2²) = (3 + 6i + 4i + 8i²)/5 = (−5 + 10i)/5 = −1 + 2i. Division by 0 + 0i is undefined.

How do you convert a complex number to polar form?

The modulus is r = √(a² + b²) and the argument is θ = atan2(b, a), which picks the correct quadrant. For 3 + 4i, r = √(9 + 16) = 5 and θ ≈ 53.130°, so 3 + 4i = 5∠53.130°. Plain arctan(b/a) gives the wrong angle when the real part is negative: −3 − 4i has an argument of about −126.870°, not 53.130°.

What is De Moivre's theorem?

For z = r(cos θ + i sin θ) and a whole number n, zⁿ = rⁿ(cos nθ + i sin nθ). So (1 + i)⁸, with r = √2 and θ = 45°, equals (√2)⁸ = 16 at an angle of 8 × 45° = 360°, which is the real number 16. The same idea gives n evenly spaced nth roots: the cube roots of 8 are 2 and −1 ± 1.732051i, 120° apart.

What is the square root of −1?

The imaginary unit i, defined by i² = −1; −i is the other square root. Every negative number has two imaginary square roots, so √−4 = ±2i, and the principal root, the one with argument 90°, is 2i. Powers of i repeat every four steps: i, −1, −i, 1, then i again.

Wie genau arbeitet „Rechner für komplexe Zahlen“?

Die Genauigkeit hängt von Ihren Eingaben und den Annahmen der Methode ab. Die Dezimalrechnung nutzt 50 signifikante Stellen, doch Schätzungen, numerische Verfahren und Quelldaten können ungenauer sein. Die angezeigte Rundung beseitigt diese Grenzen nicht.
