ABSTRACT
Define the following complex numbers using Maxima
z = 4 − 1 2 i https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429469718/452c29b0-ff40-40a3-bc1d-8e4f0d5b3321/content/eq36.tif"/>
NB: The equal sign “=” should be replaced by two dots “:”
“i” is defined as constant but “i” here is a complex constant function since
i 2 = 1, so we have to write “%i”
Steps:
Go to Maxima
Type in the command z: 4 − ½*% i
Press on Shift Enter
