Representations of Complex Numbers
A second way of representing the complex number z is by specifying its
magnitude r and the angle θ
we must exercise care in determining the correct value of . These are the four
possibilities:

Mathematical Operations with Complex Numbers
1- Complex Conjugate
The conjugate or complex conjugate of a complex number can be found by
simply changing the sign of the imaginary part in the rectangular form or by
using the negative of the angle of the polar form.
Example: The complex conjugate of the complex number z=x+jy is
