3 Concept Maps

Mind map showing the structure of complex numbers and the relationship between real and imaginary parts

Mind map showing the structure of complex numbers and the relationship between real and imaginary parts

The map in words

  • Complex Numbers
    • Structure
      • z = a + bi
      • a is real part
      • b is imaginary part
    • Special Cases
      • Real numbers
        • a ≠ 0, b = 0
      • Purely imaginary
        • a = 0, b ≠ 0
    • Fundamental Property
      • i² = -1
      • i = √(-1)

Flowchart showing the algorithm for finding powers of i using the remainder after dividing by 4

Flowchart showing the algorithm for finding powers of i using the remainder after dividing by 4

The map in words

  • Calculate i^n
    • Divide n by 4
      • Remainder r?
        • r = 0: i^n = 1
          • Result
        • r = 1: i^n = i
        • r = 2: i^n = -1
        • r = 3: i^n = -i

Flowchart showing how to find the conjugate and its important properties

Flowchart showing how to find the conjugate and its important properties

The map in words

  • Complex Number z = a + bi
    • Identify Real Part: a
      • Keep Real Part Same
        • Conjugate z̄ = a - bi
          • Property: z̄̄ = z
          • Property: |z| = |z̄|
          • Property: z + z̄ = 2a (real)
          • Property: z - z̄ = 2bi (imaginary)
    • Identify Imaginary Part: b
      • Change Sign of Imaginary Part
