Complex Number Calculator
Perform operations on complex numbers step by step
The calculator will try to simplify any complex expression, with steps shown. It will perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to power, and also will find the polar form, conjugate, modulus, and inverse of the complex number.
Solution
Your input: simplify and calculate different forms of $$$i$$$
The expression is already simplified.
Polar form
For a complex number $$$a+bi$$$, polar form is given by $$$r(\cos(\theta)+i \sin(\theta))$$$, where $$$r=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$$$ and $$$\theta=\operatorname{atan}\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$$$
We have that $$$a=0$$$ and $$$b=1$$$
Thus, $$$r=\sqrt{\left(0\right)^2+\left(1\right)^2}=1$$$
Also, $$$\theta=\operatorname{atan}\left(\frac{1}{0}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}$$$
Therefore, $$$i=\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)} + i \sin{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)}$$$
Inverse
The inverse of $$$i$$$ is $$$\frac{1}{i}$$$
Multiply and divide by $$$i$$$ (keep in mind that $$$i^2=-1$$$):
$$${\color{red}{\left(\frac{1}{i}\right)}}={\color{red}{\left(- i\right)}}$$$
Hence, $$$\frac{1}{i}=- i$$$
Conjugate
The conjugate of $$$a + i b$$$ is $$$a - i b$$$: the conjugate of $$$i$$$ is $$$- i$$$
Modulus
The modulus of $$$a + i b$$$ is $$$\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}$$$: the modulus of $$$i$$$ is $$$1$$$
Answer
$$$i=i=1.0 i$$$
The polar form of $$$i$$$ is $$$\cos{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)} + i \sin{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} \right)}$$$
The inverse of $$$i$$$ is $$$\frac{1}{i}=- i=- 1.0 i$$$
The conjugate of $$$i$$$ is $$$- i=- 1.0 i$$$
The modulus of $$$i$$$ is $$$1$$$
