Objective:
Present graphical representation of complex numbers - complex plane
in rectangular form.
3.1 Graphical Representation and
Rectangular Form:
Note: The complex number, z = a + j b, can also be thought of
as
the vector with tail at the origin and head at (a,b)
as seen below.
·
Examples:
For example, the complex numbers 
are pictured below. Note: i is being used in place of j in this diagram.
More Examples: Graph: A: 3 + 2i B: -4 + 5i C: -5 - 4i D: i Solution: See the figure below.
