Real numbers and imaginary numbers are subsets of the set of complex numbers.

Definition of a Complex Number If a and b are real numbers, the number a + bi is a complex number, and it is said to be written in standard form. If b = 0, the number a + bi = a is a real number. If a = 0, the number a + bi is called an imaginary number. Write the complex number in standard form

[r(cos F+isin F]n = rn(cos nF+isin nF) De Moivre’s Theorem De Moivre's Theorem is the theorem which shows us how to take complex numbers to any power easily. De Moivre's Theorem – Let r(cos F+isin F) be a complex number and n be any real number. Then [r(cos F+isin F]n = rn(cos nF+isin nF) What is this saying? The resulting r value will be r to the nth power and the resulting angle will be n times the original angle.

Remember to save space you can write it in compact form. De Moivre’s Theorem Try a sample problem: What is [3(cos 45°+isin45)]5? To do this take 3 to the 5th power, then multiply 45 times 5 and plug back into trigonometric form. 35 = 243 and 45 * 5 =225 so the result is 243(cos 225°+isin 225°) Remember to save space you can write it in compact form. 243(cos 225°+isin 225°)=243cis 225°

De Moivre’s Theorem Find the result of: Because of the power involved, it would easier to change this complex number into polar form and then use De Moivre’s Theorem.

De Moivre’s Theorem De Moivre's Theorem also works not only for integer values of powers, but also rational values (so we can determine roots of complex numbers).

De Moivre’s Theorem Simplify the following:

De Moivre’s Theorem Every complex number has ‘p’ distinct ‘pth’ complex roots (2 square roots, 3 cube roots, etc.) To find the p distinct pth roots of a complex number, we use the following form of De Moivre’s Theorem …where ‘n’ is all integer values between 0 and p-1. Why the 360? Well, if we were to graph the complex roots on a polar graph, we would see that the p roots would be evenly spaced about 360 degrees (360/p would tell us how far apart the roots would be).
