Flashcard 1: What is $z-bar{z}$ in terms of $Im(z)$ ?

Answer: $z-bar{z}=2Im(z)i$ . Difference gives twice the imaginary part times $i$ .

Flashcard 2: What is the geometric meaning of multiplying by $-1$ ?

Answer: Rotation by $180^circ$ about the origin. Multiplication by $-1$ rotates by half a turn.

Flashcard 3: What is the geometric meaning of multiplying by $i$ ?

Answer: Rotation by $90^circ$ counterclockwise. Multiplication by $i$ rotates by a quarter turn left.

Flashcard 4: What is $z+bar{z}$ in terms of $Re(z)$ ?

Answer: $z+bar{z}=2Re(z)$ . Sum of conjugates equals twice the real part.

Flashcard 5: What is the geometric meaning of multiplying by a real $k>0$ ?

Answer: Dilation by factor $k$ from the origin. Positive real scaling stretches by factor $k$ .

Flashcard 6: What is $\bar{\frac{z_1}{z_2}}$ for $z_2 \neq 0$ ?

Answer: $\bar{\frac{z_1}{z_2}} = \frac{\bar{z_1}}{\bar{z_2}}$ . Conjugate distributes over division.

Flashcard 7: What is $i(4-3i)$ ?

Answer: $3+4i$ . Distribute $i$ and use $i^2 = -1$ .

Flashcard 8: What is $zbar{z}$ for $z=a+bi$ ?

Answer: $zbar{z}=a^2+b^2$ . Product of a complex number with its conjugate gives modulus squared.

Flashcard 9: What is the geometric meaning of multiplying by $-i$ ?

Answer: Rotation by $90^circ$ clockwise. Multiplication by $-i$ rotates by a quarter turn right.

Flashcard 10: What is the geometric meaning of multiplying by a real $k<0$ ?

Answer: Dilation by $k$ and rotation by $180^circ$ . Negative real scaling stretches and reflects through origin.

Flashcard 11: What happens to arguments under multiplication: $arg(z_1z_2)$ ?

Answer: $arg(z_1z_2)=arg(z_1)+arg(z_2)$ . Arguments add when complex numbers are multiplied.

Flashcard 12: What is $bar{z_1z_2}$ in terms of $bar{z_1}$ and $bar{z_2}$ ?

Answer: $bar{z_1z_2}=bar{z_1}bar{z_2}$ . Conjugate distributes over multiplication.

Flashcard 14: What is the result of conjugating twice: $bar{(bar{z})}$ ?

Answer: $bar{(bar{z})}=z$ . Double conjugation returns the original number.

Flashcard 15: What is the argument relation between $z$ and $bar{z}$ (for $zneq 0$ )?

Answer: $arg(bar{z})=-arg(z)$ . Conjugate has opposite argument from original.

Flashcard 16: What is $Re(z)$ and $Im(z)$ for $z=a+bi$ ?

Answer: $Re(z)=a,Im(z)=b$ . Real part is coefficient of 1, imaginary part is coefficient of $i$ .

Flashcard 17: What is the geometric meaning of $z_1z_2$ in polar form?

Answer: Multiply moduli; add arguments (scale and rotate). Multiplication scales and rotates simultaneously.

Flashcard 18: What is $(5-2i)-(1+7i)$ ?

Answer: $4-9i$ . Subtract real parts and imaginary parts separately.

Flashcard 19: What happens to arguments under division: $\arg(\frac{z_1}{z_2})$ ?

Answer: $\arg(\frac{z_1}{z_2}) = \arg(z_1) - \arg(z_2)$ . Arguments subtract when complex numbers are divided.

Flashcard 20: What is the complex conjugate of $z=a+bi$ ?

Answer: $\bar{z} = a - bi$ . Change the sign of the imaginary part only.

Flashcard 21: What is $z \bar{z}$ if $z=3-4i$ ?

Answer: $25$ . Apply formula $z \bar{z} = a^2 + b^2$ .

Flashcard 22: What is the conjugate of $-6+11i$ ?

Answer: $-6-11i$ . Negate the imaginary part to find conjugate.

Flashcard 23: What point on the complex plane represents $z=a+bi$ ?

Answer: $(a,b)$ . Real part is the x-coordinate, imaginary part is the y-coordinate.

Flashcard 24: What complex number corresponds to the point $(x,y)$ on the complex plane?

Answer: $x+yi$ . x-coordinate becomes real part, y-coordinate becomes imaginary part.

Flashcard 25: What is the argument $ heta$ of $z$ on the complex plane?

Answer: Angle from positive real axis to $z$ . Measured counterclockwise from positive x-axis.

Flashcard 26: What is Euler form of a complex number $z$ in polar coordinates?

Answer: $z=re^{i heta}$ . Euler's formula: $e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta$ .

Flashcard 27: What is the geometric effect of adding complex numbers $z_1+z_2$ ?

Answer: Vector addition (translate head-to-tail). Place vectors end-to-end to find the sum.

Flashcard 28: What is the geometric effect of subtracting $z_1-z_2$ ?

Answer: Add $z_1+(-z_2)$ (difference of vectors). Subtract by adding the negative vector.

Flashcard 29: What point represents $-z$ if $z=a+bi$ ?

Answer: $(-a,-b)$ . Negation reflects the point through the origin.

Flashcard 30: What is the geometric effect of conjugation $z mapsto bar{z}$ ?

Answer: Reflection across the real axis. Conjugation mirrors the point across the x-axis.
