Complex numbers

\(z=a+bi \)

Geometric Sequence:

$$i, i^2, i^3, i^4, i^6, i^7 ... $$ $$=i, -1, -i, 1, i, -1 ... $$

Key Properties:

$$(z^*)^*=z$$ $$(z_1+z_2)^*=z_1^* + z_2^*$$ $$(z_1-z_2)^*=z_1^* - z_2^*$$ $$(z_1z_2)^*=z_1^* \times z_2^*$$ $$ \left( \dfrac{z_1}{z_2} \right)^* = \dfrac{z_1^*}{z_2^*}, \quad z_2 \neq 0 $$ $$ (z^n)^* = (z^*)^n \text{ for positive integers } n$$ $$z + z^* \text{ and } zz^* \text{ are real}$$ $$|z^*|=|z|$$ $$|z|^2 = zz^*$$ $$|z_1z_2|=|z_1||z_2|$$ $$\left| \dfrac{z_1}{z_2} \right| = \dfrac{|z_1|}{|z_2|}$$
