Math Problem Statement
graph each number in the complex plane 1: -1 2: 1 + 3i
Solution
To graph the complex numbers on the complex plane, we treat the real part as the x-coordinate and the imaginary part as the y-coordinate. Let's break it down for each complex number:
1. Complex Number:
- Real part:
- Imaginary part:
In the complex plane:
- The point is located on the real axis at .
2. Complex Number:
- Real part:
- Imaginary part:
In the complex plane:
- The point is located at , meaning 1 unit to the right of the origin (real axis) and 3 units above the real axis (imaginary axis).
These points can be plotted as:
- on the real axis.
- above the real axis.
Would you like a detailed explanation of how the complex plane works, or do you have any questions on this?
Here are 5 follow-up questions that might expand on this:
- How do you calculate the modulus of a complex number?
- What is the geometric meaning of the modulus of a complex number?
- How can we rotate a complex number on the complex plane?
- What does multiplying a complex number by do geometrically?
- How do you find the argument (angle) of a complex number?
Tip: When graphing complex numbers, remember that the real part corresponds to the x-axis, and the imaginary part corresponds to the y-axis.
