Bilangan Kompleks • Part 24: Pembuktian Sifat-Sifat Argumen Bilangan Kompleks

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on the properties of the argument of complex numbers, based on the content from the video "Bilangan Kompleks • Part 24: Pembuktian Sifat-Sifat Argumen Bilangan Kompleks." Understanding these properties is crucial for those studying complex numbers in mathematics, as they play a fundamental role in various applications, including engineering and physics.

Step 1: Understanding Complex Numbers

A complex number is expressed in the form a + bi, where

• a is the real part.
• b is the imaginary part.
• i is the imaginary unit, defined as the square root of -1.

Step 2: Defining the Argument of a Complex Number

• The argument of a complex number, denoted as arg(z), is the angle formed with the positive real axis in the complex plane.

It can be calculated using the formula

• arg(z) = arctan(b/a) for a complex number z = a + bi.

Step 3: Properties of the Argument

1. Range of the Argument

   • The argument is generally considered within the range (-π, π].

2. Addition of Arguments

   For two complex numbers z1 and z2, the argument of their product can be expressed as

   • arg(z1 * z2) = arg(z1) + arg(z2)
   • Ensure that the result is adjusted to stay within the principal range.

3. Subtraction of Arguments

   For division

   • arg(z1 / z2) = arg(z1) - arg(z2)

Step 4: Practical Applications of Arguments

The properties of argument help in

• Simplifying complex number multiplication and division.
• Converting complex numbers between rectangular and polar forms.
• Solving problems in electrical engineering, such as phasors.

Step 5: Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Ensure that the calculation of the argument considers the correct quadrant based on the signs of a and b

• If a > 0 and b > 0, the angle is in the first quadrant.
• If a < 0 and b > 0, the angle is in the second quadrant, and so on.
