The
IMSUB() function calculates the difference
between complex numbers.
- The syntax for the function
is IMSUB(inumber1, inumber2).
The
arguments "inumber1" and
"inumber2" are
complex numbers of the form (a+bi) where
a and b are real number coeffcients. The
argument
"inumber2" is
subtracted from "inumber1".
The
IMSUB function returns the difference between
two complex numbers.
For example: IMSUB("8+3i", "5+6i")
=3-3i. The
function subtracts the real
and imaginary components independently
and then returns the result in the form
of a complex number e.g. (8+3i) - (5+6i)
= (8-5) + (3-6)i = 3-3i.
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.
