Complex Number
Calculations
The CPLX mode is used to carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division of complex numbers. Press
b
4
to select the CPLX mode.
Results of complex number calculations are expressed in two modes:
1
@
E
: Rectangular coordinates mode (
xy
appears.)
2
@
u
: Polar coordinates mode (
r
θ
appears.)
Complex Number Entry
1
Rectangular coordinates are entered as follows:

r: absolute value
θ
:argument
• On selecting another mode, the imaginary part of any complex number
stored in the M memory will be cleared.
• A complex number expressed in rectangular coordinates with the y-value
equal to zero, or expressed in polar coordinates with the angle equal to
zero, is treated as a real number.
• Press
I

to return the complex conjugate of the specified complex
number.
