19 Conjugates and Reciprocals of Complex Numbers
One method of evaluating the reciprocal of a complex number uses its conjugate divided by the square of its modulus. An explanation is given of this method which is then proved. Solutions to these two examples are then worked through:
2. Evaluate: (a) (-2+√2i)^(-1) (b) (-2i)^(-1)
3. If z= 1/(3+i) - 1/(4-2i) express z in the form a+ib.
The viewer is encouraged to attempt these questions before watching the solutions.
The final part of the video explores the visual implications of the main result using a GeoGebra animation of the Argand diagram.
