i = √− 1 , so √−16 = 4𝑖𝑖, √− 11 = √ 11 i , etc. These are called imaginary numbers
Complex numbers are written as z = a + bi , where a and b ∈ ℝ. a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.
+, –, × are defined in the ‘sensible’ way; division is more complicated.
( a + bi ) + ( c + di ) = ( a + c ) + ( b + d ) i ( a + bi ) – ( c + di ) = ( a – c ) + ( b – d ) i ( a + bi ) × ( c + di ) = ac + bdi^2 + adi + bci = ( ac – bd ) + ( ad +bc ) i since i^2 = –
So (3 + 4 i ) – (7 – 3 i ) = –4 + 7 i and (4 + 3 i ) (2 – 5 i ) = 23 – 14 i
Division – this is just rationalising the denominator.

z = a + bi The complex conjugate of z is z * = 𝑧𝑧 = a – bi
Properties
If z = a + bi and w = c + di , then
(i) {( a + bi ) + ( c + di )}* = {( a + c ) + ( b + d ) i }*
= { ( a + c ) – ( b + d ) i }
= ( a – bi ) + ( c – di )
⇔ ( z + w )* = z * + w *
i (3 + 4 i ) = –4 + 3 i – on an Argand diagram this would have the effect of a positive quarter turn about the origin.
In general;
i ( a + bi ) = – b + ai
This is just like polar co-ordinates.
The modulus of z is z and
is the length of the complex number
z = √𝑎𝑎 2 + 𝑏𝑏 2.
z z * = ( a + bi )( a – bi ) = a^2 + b^2
⇒ z z * = z ^2.
The argument of z is arg z = the angle made by the complex number with the positive x -axis.
N.B. Always draw a diagram when finding arg z****.
Example: Find the modulus and argument of z = –6 + 5 i.
Solution: First sketch a diagram (it is easy to get the argument wrong if you don’t).
z = (^) √ 62 + 5^2 = (^) √ 61

a + bi = c + di ⇒ a – c = ( d – b ) i
⇒ ( a – c )^2 = ( d – b )^2 i^2 = – ( d – b )^2 squaring both sides
But ( a – c )^2 ≥ 0 and – ( d – b )^2 ≤ 0
⇒ ( a – c )^2 = – ( d – b )^2 = 0
⇒ a = c and b = d
Thus a + bi = c + di
⇒ real parts are equal ( a = c ), and imaginary parts are equal ( b = d ).
Example: Find the square roots of 5 + 12 i , in the form a + bi , a , b ∈ ℝ.
Solution: Let (^) √5 + 12𝑖𝑖 = a + bi
⇒ 5 + 12 i = ( a + bi )^2 = a^2 – b^2 + 2 abi
Equating real parts ⇒ a^2 – b^2 = 5, I
equating imaginary parts ⇒ 2 ab = 12 ⇒ a = 6 𝑏𝑏
Substitute in I ⇒ � 6 𝑏𝑏 �
2 − 𝑏𝑏 2 = 5
⇒ 36 – b^4 = 5 b^2 ⇒ b^4 + 5 b^2 – 36 = 0
⇒ ( b^2 – 4)( b^2 + 9) = 0 ⇒ 𝑏𝑏 2 = 4
⇒ b = ± 2, and a = ± 3
⇒ √5 + 12𝑖𝑖 = 3 + 2 i or –3 – 2 i.
( a ) Any polynomial equation with complex coefficients has a complex solution.
The is The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra , and is too difficult to prove at this stage.
Corollary: Any complex polynomial can be factorised into linear factors over the complex numbers.
When asked to show that a solution is accurate to n D.P ., you must look at the value of f ( x ) ‘half’ below and ‘half’ above, and conclude that
there is a change of sign in the interval , and the function is continuous , therefore there is a solution in the interval correct to n D. P.
Example: Show that α = 2⋅0946 is a root of the equation f ( x ) = x^3 – 2 x – 5 = 0, accurate to 4 D.P.
Solution:
f (2.09455) = –0⋅0000165…, and f (2.09465) = +0⋅ 00997
There is a change of sign and f is continuous
(i) Find an interval [ a , b ] which contains the root of an equation f ( x ) = 0.
(ii) x = 𝑎𝑎+𝑏𝑏 2 is the mid-point of the interval [ a ,^ b ]
Find 𝑓𝑓 � 𝑎𝑎+𝑏𝑏 2 �^ to decide whether the root lies in^ �𝑎𝑎,^
𝑎𝑎+𝑏𝑏 2 �^ or^ �^
𝑎𝑎+𝑏𝑏 2 ,^ 𝑏𝑏�^.
(iii) Continue finding the mid-point of each subsequent interval to narrow the interval which contains the root.
Example: (i) Show that there is a root of the equation f ( x ) = x^3 – 2 x – 7 = 0 in the interval [2, 3]. (ii) Find an interval of width 0.25 which contains the root.
Solution: (i) f (2) = 8 – 4 – 7 = –3, and f (3) = 27 – 6 – 7 = 14
There is a change of sign and f is continuous ⇒ there is a root in [2, 3].
(ii) Mid-point of [2, 3] is x = 2⋅5, and f (2⋅5) = 15⋅625 – 5 – 7 = 3⋅ 625
⇒ root in [2, 2⋅5]
Mid-point of [2, 2⋅5] is x = 2⋅25, and f (2⋅25) = 11⋅390625 – 4⋅5 – 7 = –0⋅ 109375
⇒ root in [2⋅25, 2⋅5], which is an interval of width 0⋅ 25
To solve an equation f ( x ) using linear interpolation.
First, find an interval which contains a root,
second, assume that the curve is a straight line and use similar triangles to find where it crosses the x -axis, third, repeat the process as often as necessary.
f ( x ) = x^3 – 2 x – 9 = 0 in the interval [2, 3].
Give your answer to 3 D. P.
Solution: (i) f (2) = 8 – 4 – 9 = –5, and f (3) = 27 – 6 – 9 = 12
There is a change of sign and f is continuous ⇒ there is a root in [2, 3].
(ii) From (i), curve passes through (2, –5) and (3, 12), and we assume that the curve is a straight line between these two points.

y^2 = 4 ax is the equation of a parabola which passes through the origin and has the x -axis as an axis of symmetry.
x = at^2 , y = 2 at satisfy the equation for all values of t. t is a parameter, and these equations are the parametric equations of the parabola y^2 = 4 ax.
Focus and directrix
The point S ( a , 0) is the focus , and
the line x = – a is the directrix.
Any point P of the curve is equidistant from the focus and the directrix, PM = PS.
Proof: PM^2 = at^2 – (– a ) = at^2 + a
PS^2 = ( at^2 – a )^2 + (2 at )^2 = a^2 t^4 – 2 a^2 t^2 + a^2 + 4 a^2 t^2
= a^2 t^4 + 2 a^2 t^2 + a^2 = ( at^2 + a )^2 = PM^2
⇒ PM = PS.
Gradient
For the parabola y^2 = 4 ax , with general point P , ( at^2 , 2 at ), we can find the gradient in two ways:

Example: Find the equations of the tangents to y^2 = 8 x at the points where x = 18, and show that the tangents meet on the x -axis.
Solution: x = 18 ⇒ y^2 = 8 × 18 ⇒ y = ± 12

⇒ tangents are y – 12 = 1 3 ( x^ – 18)^ ⇒^ x^ – 3 y^ + 18 = 0^ at (18, 12)
and y + 12 = − 1 3 ( x^ – 18)^ ⇒^ x^ + 3 y^ + 18 = 0.^ at (18, –12)
To find the intersection, add the equations to give
2 x + 36 = 0 ⇒ x = –18 ⇒ y = 0
⇒ tangents meet at (–18, 0) on the x -axis.
Example: Find the equation of the normal to the parabola given by x = 3 t^2 , y = 6 t.
Solution: x = 3 t^2 , y = 6 t ⇒ 𝑑𝑑𝑥𝑥 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 6 t ,^
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 6,
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 𝑑𝑑𝑥𝑥 =

1 𝑑𝑑
⇒ gradient of the normal is – t
⇒ equation of the normal is y – 6 t = – t ( x – 3 t^2 ).
Notice that this ‘general equation’ gives the equation of the normal for any particular value of t :– when t = –3 the normal is y + 18 = 3( x – 27) ⇔ y = 3 x – 99.
A rectangular hyperbola is a hyperbola in which the asymptotes meet at 90o.
xy = c^2 is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola in which the x -axis and y -axis are perpendicular asymptotes.
x = ct , y = 𝑐𝑐 𝑑𝑑 are parametric equations of the hyperbola xy = c^2_._

You must be able to add, subtract and multiply matrices.
An r × c matrix has r rows and c columns;
the fi R st number is the number of R ows
the se C ond number is the number of C olumns.
The identity matrix is I = �
Note that MI = IM = M for any matrix M.
Let M = �𝑎𝑎^ 𝑏𝑏 𝑐𝑐 𝑑𝑑
� then the determinant of M is
Det M = | M | = ad – bc.
To find the inverse of M = �𝑎𝑎^ 𝑏𝑏 𝑐𝑐 𝑑𝑑
Note that M –1 M = M M –1^ = I
(i) Find the determinant, ad – bc. If ad – bc = 0, there is no inverse.
(ii) Interchange a and d (the leading diagonal) Change sign of b and c , (the other diagonal) Divide all elements by the determinant, ad – bc.

1 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎−𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 (^) �𝑑𝑑𝑎𝑎^ − 𝑏𝑏𝑐𝑐^0 0 −𝑏𝑏𝑐𝑐 + 𝑎𝑎𝑑𝑑
Similarly we could show that M M –1^ = I.
Example: M = �
� and MN = �−^1 2 1
�. Find N.
Solution: Notice that M –1^ ( MN ) = ( M –1 M ) N = IN = N multiplying on the left by M –
But MNM –1^ ≠ IN we can not multiply on the right by M –
First find M –
Det M = 4 × 3 – 2 × 5 = 2
1 (^2) � 3 −^2 − 5 4
Using M –1^ ( MN ) = IN = N
1 (^2) � 3 −^2 − 5 4
1 (^2) �−^7 13 − 6
A matrix can represent a transformation, but the point must be written as a column vector before multiplying by the matrix.
Example: The image of (2, 3) under T = �
� is given by �
⇒ the image of (2, 3) is (23, 8).
Note that the image of (0, 0) is always (0, 0)
⇔ the origin never moves under a matrix (linear) transformation
The vectors i = �^1 0
� and j = �^0 1
� are called basis vectors, and are particularly important in describing the geometrical effect of a matrix, and in finding the matrix for a particular geometric transformation.
� and �𝑎𝑎^ 𝑏𝑏 𝑐𝑐 𝑑𝑑
i = �
𝑐𝑐�, the^ first^ column, and^ j^ =^ �
�, the second column
This is a more important result than it seems!
j = �^0 1
�. This will be the second column of the matrix �
⇒ Matrix of the reflection is � 0 −^1 − 1 0
From the diagram we can see that
i = �^1 0
� → �cos^ 𝜃𝜃 sin 𝜃𝜃
j = �^0 1
� → �−^ sin^ 𝜃𝜃 cos 𝜃𝜃
These will be the first and second columns of the matrix
⇒ matrix is 𝑅𝑅𝜃𝜃 = �cos^ 𝜃𝜃^ −^ sin^ 𝜃𝜃 sin 𝜃𝜃 cos 𝜃𝜃
For the matrix 𝐴𝐴 = �
and �𝑎𝑎^ 𝑏𝑏 𝑐𝑐 𝑑𝑑
⇒ the unit square is mapped on to the
parallelogram as shown in the diagram.
The area of the unit square = 1.
The area of the parallelogram = ( a + b )( c + d ) – 2 × ( bc + 1 2 ac^ +^
1 2 bd )
= ac + ad + bc + bd – 2 bc – ac – bd
= ad – bc = det A.
All squares of the grid are mapped onto congruent parallelograms
⇒ area factor of the transformation is det A = ad – bc.
