Subtraction of Complex Numbers
Two complex numbers z1 = a + ib and z2 = c + id can be subtracted by combining the real and imaginary parts of both the complex numbers and applying the subtraction operation separately on each of them. The formula for subtracting the complex numbers is given by:
z1 – z2 = (a + ib) – (c + id) = (a – c) + i (b – d)
If z = z1 – z2, then
z = (a – c) + i (b – d)
Adding and Subtracting Complex Numbers
Adding and Subtracting Complex Numbers: A complex number comprises a real number and an imaginary number. It is usually represented in the form of z = a + ib, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. Here, i represents an imaginary unit number, whose value is equal to √-1. Thus, i = √-1.
This article provides the steps to add or subtract complex numbers, with solved examples and properties of addition or subtraction of complex numbers.
