The
IMREAL() function returns the sum
of two or more complex numbers.
- The syntax for the function
is IMREAL(inumber).
The
argument "inumber1" is
a complex number of the form (a+bi) where
a and b are real number coeffcients.The
IMREAL function extracts the real component
of the complex number. For example:
IMREAL("5+3i")
=5 where 5 is the real component of the
complex number.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].

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. |
