COMPLEX
Formulas / COMPLEXCreate complex numbers with real and imaginary coefficients.
=COMPLEX(real_num, i_num, [suffix])
- real_num - a real number
- i_num - a real number
- suffix - [OPTIONAL] the suffix for the imaginary component, either "i" or "j"
Examples
COMPLEX(3,4)For example, this formula returns the complex number 3+4i.
COMPLEX(-2,3)The real number is the first argument of the COMPLEX function and the imaginary number is the second argument. For example, the formula above returns the complex number -2+3i.
COMPLEX(ABS(-2),SQRT(9))The COMPLEX function can also be used with other functions that return real numbers. For example, this formula returns the complex number 2+3i.
COMPLEX(3,0)The COMPLEX function can also be used to convert real numbers to complex numbers. For example, the above formula returns the complex number 3+0i, which is the same as 3.
Summary
The COMPLEX function enables the conversion of real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number which is composed of x + yi or x + yj.
- The COMPLEX function returns a text result in the form of x + y or x + yj, representing a complex number.
- The function can convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number with either the suffix "i" or "j".
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the COMPLEX function?
The COMPLEX function is a tool that converts real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number. A complex number is of the form x + yi or x + yj, where i and j represent the imaginary numbers.
What is the form of a COMPLEX number?
The form of a COMPLEX number is x + yi or x + yj, where i and j represent the imaginary numbers.
Are there any requirements for a COMPLEX number?
Yes, all suffixes must match when creating a COMPLEX number.
What are the benefits of using the COMPLEX function?
- The COMPLEX function simplifies the process of converting real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number.
