The
IMCONJUGATE() function calculates absolute
value of a complex number.
The syntax for the function
is IMCONJUGATE(inumber).
The
argument "inumber" is
a complex number of the form (a+bi) where
a and b are real number coeffcients.The
IMCONJUGATE functionfinds the complex conjugate
of the complex number in the argument.
For example: IMCONJUGATE("4+3i")
= 4-3i.
A complex conjugate is the complemetary
complex number such that when added togther
the result is a real number. e.g. (4+3i)
+ (4-3i) = (4+4)+(3+-3)i = (8)+(0) = 8.
To learn more about real, imaginary and
complex numbers in mathematics see [The
Mathematics of Complex Numbers].
Note:To
convert real and imaginary numbers into
a complex number use the COMPLEX() function.
[The COMPLEX() function knowledgebase].
How
to use the IMCONJUGATE() function:
Type " =IMCONJUGATE( "
Enter
the coordinate for the data
cell "A2".
Type")"
then press the "Enter" key.
Note:The"i" suffux
is commonly used in mathematics whereas
the "j" notation
is a more commonly used notation in electronic
fields. However both are used to represent
the vertical vector component of a complex
number when written in rectangular coordinates
or when graphed in complex space.
