16 Geometrical Effects of Dividing by a Complex Number
Dividing one complex number by another has a scaling and rotating effect. The scale factor is the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the modulus and the angle of rotation is the additive inverse (negative) of the principal value of the argument. Animations (using GeoGebra) are used to illustrate these ideas.
Detailed solutions of the following examples are given:
(a) Write a complex number in Polar form that has the effect of undoing the rotation and scaling when multiplying by 1+i .
(b) Convert your part (a) answer to Cartesian form.
(c) Derive your part (b) answer without resorting to the use of any Polar form representations.
The viewer is encouraged to attempt these questions before watching the solutions.
