Study Important Questions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 4 – Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Very Short Answer Questions: (1 Marks)

1. Evaluate the value of ${{i}^{-39}}$.

Ans:

Let us solve the given expression further –

${{i}^{-39}}={{i}^{-38-1}}$

$\Rightarrow {{i}^{-39}}={{({{i}^{2}})}^{-19}}.\dfrac{1}{i}$

$\Rightarrow {{i}^{-39}}={{(-1)}^{-19}}.\dfrac{1}{i}$

$\Rightarrow {{i}^{-39}}=-\dfrac{1}{i}\times \dfrac{i}{i}$

Therefore,

${{i}^{-39}}=i$


2. Solve the quadratic equation ${{x}^{2}}+x+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0$.

Ans:

Let us further solve the given quadratic equation ${{x}^{2}}+x+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0$.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}{{x}^{2}}+\sqrt{2}x+1=0$.

Hence, we have $a=\sqrt{2}$,

$b=\sqrt{2}$, and

$c=1$.

We will find the roots by the formula $x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-4ac}}{2a}$.

Therefore,

\[\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\sqrt{2}\pm \sqrt{{{(\sqrt{2})}^{2}}-4\sqrt{2}}}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\sqrt{2}\pm \sqrt{2-4\sqrt{2}}}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-\sqrt{2}\pm \sqrt{2}\sqrt{1-2\sqrt{2}}}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-1\pm i\sqrt{2\sqrt{2}-1}}{2}\]


3. If ${{\left( \dfrac{1+i}{1-i} \right)}^{m}}=1$, then find the least positive integral value of $m$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

${{\left( \dfrac{1+i}{1-i} \right)}^{m}}={{\left( \dfrac{1+i}{1-i}\times \dfrac{1+i}{1+i} \right)}^{m}}$

$\Rightarrow {{\left( \dfrac{1+2i-1}{1+1} \right)}^{m}}$

$\Rightarrow {{\left( \dfrac{2i}{2} \right)}^{m}}$

$\Rightarrow {{i}^{m}}=1$

Now, we know that ${{i}^{4n}}=1$.

Therefore, ${{i}^{m}}={{i}^{4n}}$

$\Rightarrow m=4n$.

Where $n$ is an integer.

Hence, the least positive integral value of $m$ is $4$.


4. Evaluate the expression ${{(1+i)}^{4}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[{{(1+i)}^{4}}={{\left[ {{(1+i)}^{2}} \right]}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( 1+i2+{{i}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( 1+i2-1 \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow 4{{i}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow -4\]

Hence, \[{{(1+i)}^{4}}=-4+0i\].


5. Find the modulus of \[\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}-\dfrac{1-i}{1+i}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[z= \dfrac{1+i}{1-i}-\dfrac{1-i}{1+i}=\dfrac{{{\left( 1+i \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( 1-i \right)}^{2}}}{\left( 1-i \right)\left( 1+i \right)}\]

\[= \dfrac{\left( 1+2i-1 \right)-\left( 1-2i-1 \right)}{1+1}\]

\[= \dfrac{2i+2i}{2}\]

\[\Rightarrow z=2i\]

Hence, the modulus will be –

\[\left| z \right|=\sqrt{{{0}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| z \right|=2\].


6. Express in the form of a+ib: \[{{\left( 1+3i \right)}^{-1}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

${{\left( 1+3i \right)}^{-1}}=\dfrac{1}{\left( 1+3i \right)}$

\[= \dfrac{1}{\left( 1+3i \right)}\times \dfrac{\left( 1-3i \right)}{\left( 1-3i \right)}\]

\[= \dfrac{1-3i}{1-9{{i}^{2}}}\]

\[= \dfrac{1-3i}{10}\]

Therefore, \[{{\left( 1+3i \right)}^{-1}}=\dfrac{1}{10}-i\dfrac{3}{10}\].


7. Explain the fallacy in $-1=i.i=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{-1}=\sqrt{(-1)(-1)}=\sqrt{1}=1$.

Ans:

As, the given equation shows that \[\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{-1}=\sqrt{(-1)(-1)}\] is a fallacy because \[\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{-1}={{(\sqrt{-1})}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{-1}\sqrt{-1}=-1\] is correct.


8. Find the conjugate of $\dfrac{1}{2-3i}$.

Ans:

Let us further solve the expression as –

\[\dfrac{1}{2-3i}=\dfrac{1}{2-3i}\times \dfrac{2+3i}{2+3i}\]

\[= \dfrac{2+3i}{4-9{{i}^{2}}}\]

\[= \dfrac{2+3i}{4+9}\]

\[= \dfrac{2+3i}{13}\]

Therefore, the conjugate will be \[\dfrac{2-3i}{13}\].


9. Find the conjugate of $-3i-5$.

Ans:

Let us consider a complex number \[z=-3i-5\].

Therefore, the conjugate will be \[\bar{z}=3i-5\].


10. Let ${{z}_{1}}=2-i$ and

${{z}_{2}}=-2+i$, then find \[\operatorname{Re}\left( \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}}{{{{\bar{z}}}_{1}}} \right)\].

Ans:

Given we have ${{z}_{1}}=2-i$ and

${{z}_{2}}=-2+i$.

Therefore, ${{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}=\left( 2-i \right)\left( -2+i \right)$

\[\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}=-4+2i+2i+1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}=-3+4i\].

Also, ${{\bar{z}}_{1}}=2+i$.

Hence, $\dfrac{{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}}{{{{\bar{z}}}_{1}}}=\dfrac{-3+4i}{2+i}$

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}}{{{{\bar{z}}}_{1}}}=\dfrac{-3+4i}{2+i}\times \dfrac{2-i}{2-i}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}}{{{{\bar{z}}}_{1}}}=\dfrac{-6+3i+8i+4}{4+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}}{{{{\bar{z}}}_{1}}}=\dfrac{-2+11i}{5}\].

Thus, \[\operatorname{Re}\left( \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}}{{{{\bar{z}}}_{1}}} \right)=-\dfrac{2}{5}\].


11. Express in the form of $a+ib:\left( 3i-7 \right)+(7-4i)-(6+3i)+{{i}^{23}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

$\left( 3i-7 \right)+\left( 7-4i \right)-\left( 6+3i \right)+{{i}^{23}}=3i-7+7-4i-6-3i+{{i}^{23}}$

\[\Rightarrow -4i-6+{{i}^{22+1}}\]

\[\Rightarrow -4i-6+{{({{i}^{2}})}^{11}}.i\]

\[\Rightarrow -4i-6+{{(-1)}^{11}}.i\]

\[\Rightarrow -4i-6-i\]

Therefore, $\left( 3i-7 \right)+\left( 7-4i \right)-\left( 6+3i \right)+{{i}^{23}}=-6-5i$.


12. Find the conjugate of $\sqrt{-3}+4{{i}^{2}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[\sqrt{-3}+4{{i}^{2}}=\sqrt{3}i-4\]

Therefore, the conjugate will be \[\bar{z}=-\sqrt{3}i-4\].


13. Solve for $x$ and $y$, $3x+(2x-y)i=6-3i$.

Ans:

We will equate the real part of the right-hand side with the real part of the left-hand side. Similarly, we will equate their imaginary parts as well.

Therefore,

\[3x=6\] and

\[2x-y=-3\]

\[\Rightarrow x=2\] and

\[\Rightarrow 2(2)-y=-3\]

\[\Rightarrow 4-y=-3\]

\[\Rightarrow y=7\].

Hence, \[x=2\] and 

\[y=7\].


14. Find the value of $1+{{i}^{2}}+{{i}^{4}}+{{i}^{6}}+{{i}^{8}}+......+{{i}^{20}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[1+{{i}^{2}}+{{i}^{4}}+{{i}^{6}}+{{i}^{8}}+......+{{i}^{20}}=1-1+{{({{i}^{2}})}^{2}}+{{({{i}^{2}})}^{3}}+{{({{i}^{2}})}^{4}}+......+{{({{i}^{2}})}^{10}}\]

\[= {{(-1)}^{2}}+{{(-1)}^{3}}+{{(-1)}^{4}}+......+{{(-1)}^{10}}\]

\[= 1-1+1-1+......+1\]

\[= 1\]

Therefore, \[1+{{i}^{2}}+{{i}^{4}}+{{i}^{6}}+{{i}^{8}}+......+{{i}^{20}}=1\].


15. Multiply $3-2i$ by its conjugate.

Ans:

Let there be a complex number \[z=3-2i\]

Hence, its conjugate will be \[\bar{z}=3+2i\].

Therefore, the product of the complex number with its conjugate will be –

\[z\bar{z}=(3-2i)(3+2i)\]

\[\Rightarrow 9+6i-6i-4{{i}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow 9+4\]

Hence, \[(3-2i)(3+2i)=13\].


16. Find the multiplicative inverse of \[4-3i\].

Ans:

Let us assume a complex number \[z=4-3i\].

To find the multiplicative inverse, we need \[\bar{z}\] and \[\left| z \right|\].

Therefore,

\[\bar{z}=4+3i\].

\[\left| z \right|=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{4}^{2}}+{{(-3)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{16+9}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| z \right|=5\]

Hence, multiplicative inverse \[{{z}^{-1}}=\dfrac{{\bar{z}}}{{{\left| z \right|}^{2}}}\] will be –

\[{{z}^{-1}}=\dfrac{4+3i}{25}\].

\[\Rightarrow {{z}^{-1}}=\dfrac{4}{25}+i\dfrac{3}{25}\].


17.   Express in the form of\[a+ib:\frac{\left( 3+i\sqrt{5} \right)\left( 3-i\sqrt{5} \right)}{\left( \sqrt{3}+i\sqrt{2} \right)-\left( \sqrt{3}-i\sqrt{2} \right)}\]

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[\dfrac{\left( 3+i\sqrt{5} \right)\left( 3-i\sqrt{5} \right)}{\left( \sqrt{3}+i\sqrt{2} \right)-\left( \sqrt{3}-i\sqrt{2} \right)}=\dfrac{3(3-i\sqrt{5})+i\sqrt{5}(3-i\sqrt{5})}{\sqrt{3}+i\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}+i\sqrt{2}}\]

\[= \dfrac{9+5}{i2\sqrt{2}}\]

\[= \dfrac{14}{i2\sqrt{2}}\]

\[= \dfrac{7}{i\sqrt{2}}\times \dfrac{i\sqrt{2}}{i\sqrt{2}}\]

\[= -i\dfrac{7\sqrt{2}}{2}\]

Hence, \[\dfrac{\left( 3+i\sqrt{5} \right)\left( 3-i\sqrt{5} \right)}{\left( \sqrt{3}+i\sqrt{2} \right)-\left( \sqrt{3}-i\sqrt{2} \right)}=-i\dfrac{7\sqrt{2}}{2}\].


18. Evaluate the expression ${{i}^{n}}+{{i}^{n+1}}+{{i}^{n+2}}+{{i}^{n+3}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[{{i}^{n}}+{{i}^{n+1}}+{{i}^{n+2}}+{{i}^{n+3}}={{i}^{n}}+{{i}^{n}}.i+{{i}^{n}}.{{i}^{2}}+{{i}^{n}}.{{i}^{2}}.i\]

\[= {{i}^{n}}+{{i}^{n}}.i+(-1){{i}^{n}}+(-1){{i}^{n}}.i\]

\[= {{i}^{n}}(1+i-1-i)\]

\[= 0\]

Therefore, \[{{i}^{n}}+{{i}^{n+1}}+{{i}^{n+2}}+{{i}^{n+3}}=0\]


19. If $1,w,{{w}^{2}}$ are three cube root of unity, show that $(1-w+{{w}^{2}})(1+w-{{w}^{2}})=4$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[(1-w+{{w}^{2}})(1+w-{{w}^{2}})=(1+w-{{w}^{2}})-w(1+w-{{w}^{2}})+{{w}^{2}}(1+w-{{w}^{2}})\]

\[= (1+w-{{w}^{2}})-w-{{w}^{2}}+{{w}^{3}}+{{w}^{2}}+{{w}^{3}}-{{w}^{4}})\]

\[= 1-{{w}^{2}}+{{w}^{3}}+{{w}^{3}}-{{w}^{4}}\]

Since, \[1,w,{{w}^{2}}\] are three cube roots of unity implies \[{{w}^{3}}=1\].

Therefore,

\[1-{{w}^{2}}+1+1-{{w}^{3}}.w\]

\[\Rightarrow 3-{{w}^{2}}-w\]

Now, we know that $w+{{w}^{2}}=-1$.

Hence, \[3-({{w}^{2}}+w)\]

\[\Rightarrow 3+1=4\]

Hence, proved.


20. Find the sum and product of the complex numbers $-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{-2}$ and $2\sqrt{3}-i$.

Ans:

Given we have two complex numbers as ${{z}_{1}}=-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{-2}$ and

${{z}_{2}}=2\sqrt{3}-i$.

Sum will be –

${{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}=-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{-2}+2\sqrt{3}-i$

$= -\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}i-i$

$= \sqrt{3}+i(\sqrt{2}-1)$

Product will be –

${{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}=(-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{-2})(2\sqrt{3}-i)$

$= -2{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2}}+\sqrt{3}i+2\sqrt{6}i-\sqrt{2}{{i}^{2}}$

$= (\sqrt{2}-6)+\sqrt{3}i(1+2\sqrt{2})$.


21. Write the real and imaginary part $1-2{{i}^{2}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

$1-2{{i}^{2}}=1-2(-1)$

$= 1+2$

$= 3$

Hence, the real and imaginary parts of $1-2{{i}^{2}}$ are $3$ and $0$.


22. If two complex numbers \[{{z}_{1}},{{z}_{2}}\] are such that \[\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|\], is it then necessary that \[{{z}_{1}}={{z}_{2}}\].

Ans:

Let us consider ${{z}_{1}}=x+iy$ and

${{z}_{2}}=y+ix$.

Hence, $\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}$ and

$\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|=\sqrt{{{y}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}}$.

Therefore, it is not necessary that if two complex numbers ${{z}_{1}},{{z}_{2}}$ are such that $\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|$ then ${{z}_{1}}={{z}_{2}}$.


23. Find the conjugate and modulus of \[\overline{9-i}+\overline{6+{{i}^{3}}}-\overline{9+{{i}^{2}}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

$\overline{9-i}+\overline{6+{{i}^{3}}}-\overline{9+{{i}^{2}}}=9+i+\overline{6+{{i}^{2}}.i}-\overline{9-1}$

$= 9+i+\overline{6-i}-\overline{8}$

$= 9+i+6+i-8$

$= 7+2i$

Hence, the conjugate will be $\bar{z}=7-2i$.

Modulus will be $\left| z \right|=\sqrt{49+4}$

$\left| z \right|=\sqrt{53}$.


24. Find the number of non-zero integral solutions of the equation \[{{\left| 1-i \right|}^{x}}={{2}^{x}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

${{\left| 1-i \right|}^{x}}={{2}^{x}}$

$\Rightarrow {{\left( \sqrt{{{1}^{2}}+{{(-1)}^{2}}} \right)}^{x}}={{2}^{x}}$

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( \sqrt{2} \right)}^{x}}={{2}^{x}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{2}^{\dfrac{x}{2}}}={{2}^{x}}\]

Hence, \[\dfrac{x}{2}=x\]

\[\Rightarrow 2x-x=0\]

\[\Rightarrow x=0\].

Therefore, the integral solution of the equation ${{\left| 1-i \right|}^{x}}={{2}^{x}}$ is 

\[x=0\]. Hence, the number of non-zero integral solutions will be zero.


25. If \[(a+ib)(c+id)(e+if)(g+ih)=A+iB\], then show that: \[({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})({{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}})({{e}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}})({{g}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}})={{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}\].

Ans:

We know that \[\left| {{z}_{1}}{{z}_{2}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|\].

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow \left| (a+ib)(c+id)(e+if)(g+ih) \right|=\left| A+iB \right|$

$\Rightarrow \left| (a+ib) \right|\left| (c+id) \right|\left| (e+if) \right|\left| (g+ih) \right|=\left| A+iB \right|$

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\times \sqrt{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}\times \sqrt{{{e}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}}}\times \sqrt{{{g}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)\left( {{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}} \right)\left( {{e}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}} \right)\left( {{g}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}} \right)}=\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)\left( {{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}} \right)\left( {{e}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}} \right)\left( {{g}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}} \right)={{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}\]

Hence, proved.


Long Answer Questions: (4 Marks)

1. If \[x+iy=\dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}\], Prove that \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\].

Ans:

We have \[x+iy=\dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}\].

Let us rationalise the denominator.

Hence, \[\dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}=\dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}\times \dfrac{a+ib}{a+ib}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}=\dfrac{{{\left( a+ib \right)}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}-{{i}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}+2abi}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow x+iy=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}+2abi}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]

Now, we will equate both real and imaginary parts from both sides.

Therefore,

\[x=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\] and

\[y=\dfrac{2ab}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\]

Hence, we have –

\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}+\dfrac{4{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{a}^{4}}+{{b}^{4}}-2{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}+4{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{a}^{4}}+{{b}^{4}}+2{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\]

Hence, proved.


2. Find real \[\theta \] such that \[\dfrac{3+2i\sin \theta }{1-2i\sin \theta }\] is purely real.

Ans:

Let us rationalise the denominator.

Hence, 

\[\dfrac{3+2i\sin \theta }{1-2i\sin \theta }=\dfrac{3+2i\sin \theta }{1-2i\sin \theta }\times \dfrac{1+2i\sin \theta }{1+2i\sin \theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2i\sin \theta }{1-2i\sin \theta }=\dfrac{3+6i\sin \theta +2i\sin \theta +4{{i}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{1-4{{i}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2i\sin \theta }{1-2i\sin \theta }=\dfrac{3+8i\sin \theta -4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{1+4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2i\sin \theta }{1-2i\sin \theta }=\dfrac{3-4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{1+4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }+i\dfrac{8\sin \theta }{1+4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]

For the above expression to be purely real the imaginary part should be equal to zero.

Therefore,

\[i\dfrac{8\sin \theta }{1+4{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }=0\]

\[\Rightarrow 8\sin \theta =0\]

\[\Rightarrow \theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}(\sin n\pi )\]

\[\Rightarrow \theta =n\pi \].


3. Find the modulus of \[\dfrac{(1+i)(2+i)}{3+i}\].

Ans:

Let us rationalise the denominator.

Hence, 

\[\dfrac{(1+i)(2+i)}{3+i}=\dfrac{2+i+2i-1}{3+i}\times \dfrac{3-i}{3-i}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1+i)(2+i)}{3+i}=\dfrac{(1+3i)(3-i)}{9+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1+i)(2+i)}{3+i}=\dfrac{3-i+9i+3}{10}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1+i)(2+i)}{3+i}=\dfrac{6+8i}{10}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{(1+i)(2+i)}{3+i}=\dfrac{3+4i}{5}\]

Therefore, the modulus will be –

\[\Rightarrow \left| z \right|=\sqrt{{{\left( \dfrac{3}{5} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{4}{5} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| z \right|=\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{25}+\dfrac{16}{25}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| z \right|=1\].


4. If \[\left| a+ib \right|=1\] then Show that \[\dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=b+ia\].

Ans:

Given we have \[\left| a+ib \right|=1\].

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=1\].

Now, let us simplify the left-hand side –

\[\dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{(1+b)+ia}{(1+b)-ia}\times \dfrac{(1+b)+ia}{(1+b)+ia}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{{{\left[ (1+b)+ia \right]}^{2}}}{{{(1+b)}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{{{(1+b)}^{2}}+2ia(1+b)-{{a}^{2}}}{{{(1+b)}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{1+2b+{{b}^{2}}+2ia+2iab-{{a}^{2}}}{1+2b+{{b}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\]

Therefore,

\[\dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2b+{{b}^{2}}+2ia+2iab-{{a}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+2b+{{b}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{2{{b}^{2}}+2b+2ia+2iab}{2{{a}^{2}}+2{{b}^{2}}+2b}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{{{b}^{2}}+b+ia+iab}{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+b}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=\dfrac{b(b+1)+ia(1+b)}{1+b}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+b+ia}{1+b-ia}=b+ia\].

Hence, proved.


5.   If $x-iy=\sqrt{\dfrac{a-ib}{c-id}}$ prove that 

${{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}$.

Ans:

We have \[x-iy=\sqrt{\dfrac{a-ib}{c-id}}\].

Let us rationalise the denominator.

Hence, \[\sqrt{\dfrac{a-ib}{c-id}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a-ib}{c-id}\times \dfrac{c+id}{c+id}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{a-ib}{c-id}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{ac+iad-ibc+bd}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{a-ib}{c-id}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{ac+bd+i(ad-bc)}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}}\]

Therefore,

\[x-iy=\sqrt{\dfrac{ac+bd+i(ad-bc)}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( x-iy \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{ac+bd+i(ad-bc)}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}-2ixy=\dfrac{ac+bd+i(ad-bc)}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}\]

By comparing both the sides, we get –

\[{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}=\dfrac{ac+bd}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}\] and

\[-2xy=\dfrac{(ad-bc)}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}\].

Now, we know that \[{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( {{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}+4{{x}^{2}}{{y}^{2}}\].

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \dfrac{ac+bd}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{ad-bc}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}{{d}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}{{d}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}+2abcd-2abcd}{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}({{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}})+{{b}^{2}}({{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}})}{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}} \right)\left( {{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}} \right)}{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}}\].

Hence, proved.


6.   If \[a+ib=\dfrac{c+i}{c-i}\], where \[a,b,c\] are real. Prove that \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=1\] and \[\dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{2c}{{{c}^{2}}-1}\].

Ans:

Given we have \[a+ib=\dfrac{c+i}{c-i}\].

Let us simplify the right-hand side –

Hence,

\[\dfrac{c+i}{c-i}=\dfrac{c+i}{c-i}\times \dfrac{c+i}{c+i}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{c+i}{c-i}=\dfrac{{{\left( c+i \right)}^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{c+i}{c-i}=\dfrac{{{c}^{2}}+2ic-1}{{{c}^{2}}+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow a+ib=\dfrac{{{c}^{2}}-1}{{{c}^{2}}+1}+i\dfrac{2c}{{{c}^{2}}+1}\]

By comparing real and imaginary parts we get –

\[a=\dfrac{{{c}^{2}}-1}{{{c}^{2}}+1}\] and

\[b=\dfrac{2c}{{{c}^{2}}+1}\]

Therefore,

\[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{\left( \dfrac{{{c}^{2}}-1}{{{c}^{2}}+1} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{2c}{{{c}^{2}}+1} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}-1 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}+\dfrac{4{{c}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( {{c}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=1\].

Hence, proved.

Similarly, we have –

\[\dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2c}{{{c}^{2}}+1}}{\dfrac{{{c}^{2}}-1}{{{c}^{2}}+1}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{2c}{{{c}^{2}}-1}\]

Hence, proved.


7.   If \[{{z}_{1}}=2-i,\] 

\[{{z}_{2}}=1+i,\] find \[\left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|\].

Ans:

Given we have ${{z}_{1}}=2-i$ and

${{z}_{2}}=1+i$.

Therefore, ${{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1=2-i+1+i+1$

$\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1=4$

Also, ${{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i=2-i-(1+i)+i$

$\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i=2-i-1-i+i$

$\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i=1-i$.

Hence, the equation \[\left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|\] becomes –

\[\left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|=\left| \dfrac{4}{1-i} \right|\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|=\dfrac{\left| 4 \right|}{\left| 1-i \right|}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|=\dfrac{4\sqrt{2}}{2}\]

Hence, the value of \[\left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+1}{{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}+i} \right|=2\sqrt{2}\].


8.   If \[{{(p+iq)}^{2}}=x+iy\]. Prove that \[{{({{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}})}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the left-hand side –

\[{{(p+iq)}^{2}}={{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}}+2pqi\]

\[\Rightarrow {{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}}+2pqi=x+iy\]

Therefore, after comparing real and imaginary parts of both sides, we get –

\[{{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}}=x\] and

\[2pq=y\].

Hence,

\[{{\left( {{p}^{2}}-{{q}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}+4{{p}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{p}^{4}}+{{q}^{4}}-2{{p}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}+4{{p}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{p}^{4}}+{{q}^{4}}+2{{p}^{2}}{{q}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}\]

\[{{\left( {{p}^{2}}+{{q}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}\].

Hence, proved.


9.   If \[a+ib=\dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\]. Prove that \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{({{x}^{2}}+1)}^{2}}}{{{(2{{x}^{2}}+1)}^{2}}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the right-hand side of the given expression –

\[\dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}-1+2xi}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow a+ib=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}-1+2xi}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

Comparing real and imaginary parts of both sides, we get –

\[a=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}-1}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\] and

\[b=\dfrac{2x}{2{{x}^{2}}+1}\].

Hence,

\[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{\left( \dfrac{{{x}^{2}}-1}{2{{x}^{2}}+1} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{2x}{2{{x}^{2}}+1} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( {{x}^{2}}-1 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( 2{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}+\dfrac{4{{x}^{2}}}{{{\left( 2{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{x}^{4}}+1+2{{x}^{2}}}{{{\left( 2{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{({{x}^{2}}+1)}^{2}}}{{{\left( 2{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

Hence, proved.

 

10. If \[{{(x+iy)}^{3}}=u+iv\], then show that: 

\[\dfrac{u}{x}+\dfrac{v}{y}=4({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})\].

Ans:

We will simplify the given equation by using the identity \[{{\left( a+b \right)}^{3}}={{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+3ab\left( a+b \right)\].

Therefore,

\[{{\left( x+iy \right)}^{3}}={{x}^{3}}+{{i}^{3}}{{y}^{3}}+3xyi\left( x+iy \right)\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{3}}-i{{y}^{3}}+3{{x}^{2}}yi-3x{{y}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow x\left( {{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}} \right)+iy\left( 3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}} \right)\]

Hence, \[x\left( {{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}} \right)+iy\left( 3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}} \right)=u+iv\].

Comparing both real and imaginary parts, we get –

\[u=x\left( {{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}} \right)\] and

\[v=y\left( 3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}} \right)\].

Therefore, $\dfrac{u}{x}+\dfrac{v}{y}=\left( {{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}} \right)+\left( 3{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{u}{x}+\dfrac{v}{y}=4{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{u}{x}+\dfrac{v}{y}=4\left( {{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}} \right)$.

Hence, proved.

 

11. Solve \[\sqrt{3}{{x}^{2}}-\sqrt{2}x+3\sqrt{3}=0\].

Ans:

As, the given equation is a quadratic polynomial. Therefore, we can find the roots of the equation by determining the discriminant.

Hence, we have $a=\sqrt{3}$,

$b=-\sqrt{2}$, and

$c=3\sqrt{3}$.

Therefore, roots will be –

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-4ac}}{2a}$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\pm \sqrt{2-36}}{2\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\pm \sqrt{34}\times \sqrt{-1}}{2\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\pm \sqrt{34}i}{2\sqrt{3}}$.

 

12. Find the modulus of \[{{i}^{25}}+{{(1+3i)}^{3}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

${{i}^{25}}+{{(1+3i)}^{3}}={{({{i}^{2}})}^{12}}.i+1+27{{i}^{3}}+9i-27$

$\Rightarrow i+1-27i+9i-27$

$\Rightarrow z=-17i-26$.

Therefore, the modulus will be –

$\left| z \right|=\sqrt{{{\left( 17 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 26 \right)}^{2}}}$

$\left| z \right|=\sqrt{965}$

 

13. If \[a+ib=\dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2x-i}\]. Prove that \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{({{x}^{2}}+1)}^{2}}}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the right-hand side of the given expression –

\[\dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2x-i}=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}-1+2xi}{2x-i}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2x-i}=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}-1+2xi}{2x-i}\times \dfrac{2x+i}{2x+i}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2x-i}=\dfrac{2{{x}^{3}}+i{{x}^{2}}-2x-i+4{{x}^{2}}i-2x}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{{{(x+i)}^{2}}}{2x-i}=\dfrac{2{{x}^{3}}-4x+i(5{{x}^{2}}-1)}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow a+ib=\dfrac{2{{x}^{3}}-4x+i(5{{x}^{2}}-1)}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

Comparing real and imaginary parts of both sides, we get –

\[a=\dfrac{2{{x}^{3}}-4x}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\] and

\[b=\dfrac{5{{x}^{2}}-1}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\].

Hence,

\[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{\left( \dfrac{2{{x}^{3}}-4x}{4{{x}^{2}}+1} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{5{{x}^{2}}-1}{4{{x}^{2}}+1} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( 2{{x}^{3}}-4x \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5{{x}^{2}}-1 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( 4{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{4{{x}^{6}}+16{{x}^{2}}-16{{x}^{4}}+25{{x}^{4}}+1-10{{x}^{2}}}{{{\left( 4{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{4{{x}^{6}}+6{{x}^{2}}+9{{x}^{4}}+1}{{{\left( 4{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{\left( 4{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)\left( {{x}^{4}}+2{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}{{{\left( 4{{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}=\dfrac{{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}{4{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

Hence, proved.

 

14. Evaluate the given expression: ${{\left[ {{i}^{18}}+{{\left( \dfrac{1}{i} \right)}^{25}} \right]}^{3}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

${{\left[ {{i}^{18}}+{{\left( \dfrac{1}{i} \right)}^{25}} \right]}^{3}}={{\left[ {{\left( {{i}^{2}} \right)}^{9}}+{{\left( \dfrac{1}{i} \right)}^{24+1}} \right]}^{3}}$

\[\Rightarrow {{\left[ {{\left( -1 \right)}^{9}}+\dfrac{1}{{{i}^{24}}.i} \right]}^{3}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left[ -1+\dfrac{1}{{{\left( {{i}^{2}} \right)}^{12}}.i} \right]}^{3}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left[ -1+\dfrac{1}{i} \right]}^{3}}\]

\[\Rightarrow -{{\left[ 1-\dfrac{1}{i} \right]}^{3}}\]

Now, we will further solve by using the identity \[{{\left( a-b \right)}^{3}}={{a}^{3}}-{{b}^{3}}-3ab\left( a-b \right)\].

\[\Rightarrow -{{\left[ 1-\dfrac{1}{i} \right]}^{3}}=-\left[ {{1}^{3}}-{{\left( \dfrac{1}{i} \right)}^{3}}-3\times \dfrac{1}{i}\left( 1-\dfrac{1}{i} \right) \right]\]

\[\Rightarrow -\left[ 1-\dfrac{1}{{{i}^{2}}.i}-\dfrac{3}{i}+\dfrac{3}{{{i}^{2}}} \right]\]

\[\Rightarrow -\left[ 1+\dfrac{1}{i}-\dfrac{3}{i}-3 \right]\]

\[\Rightarrow -\left[ -2-\dfrac{2}{i}\times \dfrac{i}{i} \right]\]

\[\Rightarrow -\left[ -2+2i \right]\]

Hence, \[{{\left[ {{i}^{18}}+{{\left( \dfrac{1}{i} \right)}^{25}} \right]}^{3}}=2-2i\].

 

15. Find the modulus and argument of \[\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

\[\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}=\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}\times \dfrac{1+i}{1+i}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+i}{1-i}=\dfrac{1+2i-1}{1+1}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+i}{1-i}=\dfrac{2i}{2}\]

\[\Rightarrow z=i\]

Hence, the modulus will be –

\[\left| z \right|=\sqrt{{{0}^{2}}+{{1}^{2}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| z \right|=1\].

Argument will be –

$\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\dfrac{y}{x}$

$\Rightarrow \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\dfrac{1}{0}$

$\Rightarrow \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(\tan \dfrac{\pi }{2})$

$\Rightarrow \theta =\dfrac{\pi }{2}$.

Hence, the modulus is \[1\] and argument is $\dfrac{\pi }{2}$.

 

16. For what real value of \[x\] and \[y\] are numbers equal \[(1+i){{y}^{2}}+(6+i)\] and \[(2+i)x\].

Ans:

Let us equate both the numbers as –

\[(1+i){{y}^{2}}+(6+i)=(2+i)x\]

\[\Rightarrow ({{y}^{2}}+6)+i({{y}^{2}}+1)=2x+ix\]

\[\Rightarrow {{y}^{2}}+6=2x\] and

\[{{y}^{2}}+1=x\]

After solving both the equations obtained, we get –

\[x=5\] and

\[y=\pm 2\].

 

17. If \[x+iy=\sqrt{\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}}\], prove that \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the right-hand side of the given expression –

\[\sqrt{\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}\times \dfrac{1+i}{1+i}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{{{\left( 1+i \right)}^{2}}}{1+1}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{1+i}{1-i}}=\dfrac{1+i}{\sqrt{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow x+iy=\dfrac{1+i}{\sqrt{2}}\]

Comparing real and imaginary parts of both sides, we get –

\[x=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] and

\[y=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\].

Hence,

\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}={{\left( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\]

\[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\]

Hence, proved.

 

18. Convert in the polar form $\dfrac{1+7i}{{{(2-i)}^{2}}}$.

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

$\dfrac{1+7i}{{{(2-i)}^{2}}}=\dfrac{1+7i}{4-1-4i}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+7i}{3-4i}\times \dfrac{3+4i}{3+4i}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+4i+21i-28}{9+16}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{25i-25}{25}$

$\Rightarrow z=-1+i$.

Now, let $r\cos \theta =-1$ and 

$r\sin \theta =1$.

Now, let us add the squared value of both the equations.

Therefore,

${{r}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{r}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =2$

$\Rightarrow {{r}^{2}}({{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )=2$

$\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{2}$.

Hence, we have –

$\sqrt{2}\cos \theta =-1$ and 

$\sqrt{2}\sin \theta =1$.

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta =-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and

$\Rightarrow \sin \theta =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.

Now, since we have positive value for the sine function and negative for cosine function. Hence, the $\theta $ lies in the second quadrant.

$\Rightarrow \theta =\pi -\dfrac{\pi }{4}$

$\Rightarrow \theta =\dfrac{3\pi }{4}$

Hence, the polar form will be –

$-1+i=r(\cos \theta +i\sin \theta )$

$\Rightarrow -1+i=\sqrt{2}\left[ \cos \dfrac{3\pi }{4}+i\sin \dfrac{3\pi }{4} \right]$.

 

19. Find the real numbers \[x\] and \[y\] if \[(x-iy)(3+5i)\] is the conjugate of \[-6-24i\].

Ans:

We know that the conjugate of the given complex number $z=-6-24i$ will be $\bar{z}=-6+24i$.

Now, let us simplify the expression $(x-iy)(3+5i)$-

Hence, $(x-iy)(3+5i)=3x+5xi-3yi+5y$

$\Rightarrow (3x+5y)+i(5x-3y)$

Now, we will compare the values of the expression with the conjugate of the complex number.

Therefore,

$-6+24i=(3x+5y)+i(5x-3y)$

Thus, we have –

$-6=3x+5y$ and 

$24=5x-3y$.

Now, we will solve both equations for $x$ and $y$.

Hence, we have $51=-17y$

$\Rightarrow y=-3$

After substituting the value in first equation we get –

$\Rightarrow x=3$.

Therefore, the real numbers $x$ and $y$ are $3$ and $-3$.

 

20. If \[\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|=1\], prove that \[\left| \dfrac{1}{{{z}_{1}}}+\dfrac{1}{{{z}_{2}}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}} \right|\].

Ans:

Given we have \[\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|}^{2}}={{\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|}^{2}}=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}\overline{{{z}_{1}}}=1\]

\[\Rightarrow \overline{{{z}_{1}}}=\dfrac{1}{{{z}_{1}}}\]

Similarly,

\[{{z}_{2}}\overline{{{z}_{2}}}=1\]

\[\Rightarrow \overline{{{z}_{2}}}=\dfrac{1}{{{z}_{2}}}\]

Therefore, we have –

\[\left| \dfrac{1}{{{z}_{1}}}+\dfrac{1}{{{z}_{2}}} \right|=\left| \overline{{{z}_{1}}}+\overline{{{z}_{2}}} \right|\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{1}{{{z}_{1}}}+\dfrac{1}{{{z}_{2}}} \right|=\left| \overline{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}} \right|\]

\[\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{1}{{{z}_{1}}}+\dfrac{1}{{{z}_{2}}} \right|=\left| {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}} \right|\]

Hence, proved.

 

Long Answer Questions: (6 Marks)

1. If \[z=x+iy\] and \[w=\dfrac{1-iz}{z-i}\]. Show that \[\left| w \right|=1\Rightarrow z\] is purely real.

Ans:

Given we have \[z=x+iy\].

Hence, we have –

\[w=\dfrac{1-i(x+iy)}{x+iy-i}\]

\[\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{1+y-ix}{x+i(y-1)}\]

As, \[\left| w \right|=1\]

Hence,

\[\left| \dfrac{1+y-ix}{x+i(y-1)} \right|=1\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\left| 1+y-ix \right|}{\left| x+i(y-1) \right|}=1\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{{{(1+y)}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}}}{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}}}=1\]

\[\Rightarrow {{(1+y)}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}\]

\[\Rightarrow 1+{{y}^{2}}+2y={{y}^{2}}+1-2y\]

\[\Rightarrow 4y=0\]

Hence, \[z=x+0i\] implying that \[z\] is purely real.

 

2. Convert into polar form \[\dfrac{-16}{1+i\sqrt{3}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

$\dfrac{-16}{1+i\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{-16}{1+i\sqrt{3}}\times \dfrac{1-i\sqrt{3}}{1-i\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{-16}{1+i\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{-16(1-i\sqrt{3})}{1+3}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{-16}{1+i\sqrt{3}}=-4+i4\sqrt{3}$

Now, let $r\cos \theta =-4$ and 

$r\sin \theta =4\sqrt{3}$.

Now, let us add the squared value of both the equations.

Therefore,

${{r}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{r}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =16+48$

$\Rightarrow {{r}^{2}}({{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )=64$

$\Rightarrow r=8$.

Hence, we have –

$8\cos \theta =-4$ and 

$8\sin \theta =4\sqrt{3}$.

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta =-\dfrac{1}{2}$ and

$\Rightarrow \sin \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.

Now, since we have positive values for the sine function and negative for the cosine function. Hence, the $\theta $ lies in the second quadrant.

$\Rightarrow \theta =\pi -\dfrac{\pi }{3}$

$\Rightarrow \theta =\dfrac{2\pi }{3}$

Hence, the polar form will be –

$-4+i4\sqrt{3}=r(\cos \theta +i\sin \theta )$

$\Rightarrow -4+i4\sqrt{3}=8\left[ \cos \dfrac{2\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{2\pi }{3} \right]$.

 

3. Find two numbers such that their sum is \[6\] and the product is \[14\].

Ans:

Let us consider $x$ and $y$ as the two numbers.

Hence, we have –

$x+y=6$ and

$xy=14$.

Therefore,

$x(6-x)=14$

$\Rightarrow 6x-{{x}^{2}}=14$

$\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-6x+14=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{6\pm \sqrt{36-56}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{6\pm \sqrt{20}i}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=3\pm \sqrt{5}i$

Hence, $y=6-(3\pm \sqrt{5}i)$

$\Rightarrow y=3\mp \sqrt{5}i$

 

4. Convert into polar form \[z=\dfrac{i-1}{\cos \dfrac{\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi }{3}}\].

Ans:

Let us simplify the given expression –

$\dfrac{i-1}{\cos \dfrac{\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi }{3}}=\dfrac{i-1}{\dfrac{1}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{i-1}{\cos \dfrac{\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi }{3}}=\dfrac{2(i-1)}{1+i\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{i-1}{\cos \dfrac{\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi }{3}}=\dfrac{2i-2}{1+i\sqrt{3}}\times \dfrac{1-i\sqrt{3}}{1-i\sqrt{3}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{i-1}{\cos \dfrac{\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi }{3}}=\dfrac{2i+2\sqrt{3}-2+i2\sqrt{3}}{1+3}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{i-1}{\cos \dfrac{\pi }{3}+i\sin \dfrac{\pi }{3}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1+i(\sqrt{3}+1)}{2}$

Now, let \[r\cos \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}\] and 

$r\sin \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}$.

Now, let us add the squared value of both the equations.

Therefore,

${{r}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{r}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =\dfrac{{{\left( \sqrt{3}-1 \right)}^{2}}}{4}+\dfrac{{{\left( \sqrt{3}+1 \right)}^{2}}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow {{r}^{2}}({{\cos }^{2}}\theta +{{\sin }^{2}}\theta )=\dfrac{4-2\sqrt{3}+4+2\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow r=2$.

Hence, we have –

$2\cos \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}$ and 

$2\sin \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}$.

$\Rightarrow \cos \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{4}$ and

$\Rightarrow \sin \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{4}$.

Now, since we have positive value for both the functions. Hence, the $\theta $ lies in the first quadrant.

$\Rightarrow \theta =\dfrac{\pi }{4}+\dfrac{\pi }{6}$

$\Rightarrow \theta =\dfrac{5\pi }{12}$

Hence, the polar form will be –

$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1+i(\sqrt{3}+1)}{2}=r(\cos \theta +i\sin \theta )$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1+i(\sqrt{3}+1)}{2}=2\left[ \cos \dfrac{5\pi }{12}+i\sin \dfrac{5\pi }{12} \right]$.

 

5. If \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] are different complex numbers with \[\left| \beta  \right|=1\], then find \[\left| \dfrac{\beta -\alpha }{1-\bar{\alpha }\beta } \right|\].

Ans:

Let us assume that $\alpha ={{a}_{1}}+i{{b}_{1}}$ and

$\beta ={{a}_{2}}+i{{b}_{2}}$.

Hence, $\bar{\alpha }={{a}_{1}}-i{{b}_{1}}$

Now, it is given that $\left| \beta  \right|=1$.

Also, $\left| \beta  \right|=\sqrt{{{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{2}}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{{{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{2}}^{2}}=1$

\[\Rightarrow {{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{2}}^{2}=1\ \ ......\text{(1)}\]

Now, we need to find $\left| \dfrac{\beta -\alpha }{1-\bar{\alpha }\beta } \right|$.

Therefore,

$\left| \dfrac{\beta -\alpha }{1-\bar{\alpha }\beta } \right|=\left| \dfrac{{{a}_{2}}+i{{b}_{2}}-{{a}_{1}}-i{{b}_{1}}}{1-\left( {{a}_{1}}-i{{b}_{1}} \right)\left( {{a}_{2}}+i{{b}_{2}} \right)} \right|$

$\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{{{a}_{2}}-{{a}_{1}}+i\left( {{b}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}} \right)}{1-\left( {{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+i{{b}_{2}}{{a}_{1}}-i{{b}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)} \right|$

$\Rightarrow \left| \dfrac{{{a}_{2}}-{{a}_{1}}+i\left( {{b}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}} \right)}{1-{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}-i\left( {{b}_{2}}{{a}_{1}}-{{b}_{1}}{{a}_{2}} \right)} \right|$

Now, we know that \[\left| \dfrac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}} \right|=\dfrac{\left| {{z}_{1}} \right|}{\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|}\].

Hence,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\left| {{a}_{2}}-{{a}_{1}}+i\left( {{b}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}} \right) \right|}{\left| 1-{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}-i\left( {{b}_{2}}{{a}_{1}}-{{b}_{1}}{{a}_{2}} \right) \right|}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{{{\left( {{a}_{2}}-{{a}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{b}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}}}{\sqrt{{{\left( 1-{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}-{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( {{b}_{2}}{{a}_{1}}-{{b}_{1}}{{a}_{2}} \right)}^{2}}}}$

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{{{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{a}_{1}}^{2}-2{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{1}}^{2}-2{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}}}{\sqrt{1+{{\left( {{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)}^{2}}-2\left( {{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)+{{b}_{2}}^{2}{{a}_{1}}^{2}+{{b}_{1}}^{2}{{a}_{2}}^{2}-2{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}}}\]

From equation \[\text{(1)}\], we have \[{{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{2}}^{2}=1\].

Therefore,

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{a}_{1}}^{2}-2({{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}})+{{b}_{1}}^{2}}}{\sqrt{1+{{a}_{1}}^{2}{{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{1}}^{2}{{b}_{2}}^{2}+2{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}-2\left( {{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)+{{b}_{2}}^{2}{{a}_{1}}^{2}+{{b}_{1}}^{2}{{a}_{2}}^{2}-2{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}}}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{a}_{1}}^{2}-2({{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}})+{{b}_{1}}^{2}}}{\sqrt{1+{{a}_{1}}^{2}({{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{2}}^{2})+{{b}_{1}}^{2}({{a}_{2}}^{2}+{{b}_{2}}^{2})-2\left( {{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)}}\]

\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{\sqrt{1+{{a}_{1}}^{2}+{{b}_{1}}^{2}-2({{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}})}}{\sqrt{1+{{a}_{1}}^{2}+{{b}_{1}}^{2}-2\left( {{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}+{{b}_{1}}{{b}_{2}} \right)}}\]

\[\Rightarrow 1\]

Hence, $\left| \dfrac{\beta -\alpha }{1-\bar{\alpha }\beta } \right|=1$.

Class 11 Maths Chapter 4 Important Questions

Vedantu provides important questions for class 11 maths complex numbers. The topic of Chapter 4 of Mathematics is Complex Numbers. The chapter Complex numbers and Quadratic equations class 11 covers how to solve sums based on complex numbers.

Topics that are discussed below are:

  • The real number and an imaginary number

  • Complex number definition

  • Integral powers of iota

  • Purely real and purely imaginary complex numbers.

  • Complex number equality

  • Algebra in complex number – addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

  • Conjugate of a complex number.

  • Modulus in a complex number

  • Argand plane

  • Polar form

Before knowing the concept of the complex number, one must know the meaning of the real number and imaginary number.

 

Important Definitions

Real Number: A number on the number line that is in the form of a positive, negative, rational, irrational, zero, fraction, integer, etc is called a real number. 

For example: 34, -3, \[\sqrt{7}\], 22/67, 0 

Imaginary Number: The numbers except the real numbers is called an imaginary number. It is the root of a negative number.

For example: \[\sqrt{-67}\], \[\sqrt{-23/92}\], etc.

Complex Number: A complex number is defined as the number that can be expressed in the form of a + ib.

Here, a and b are real numbers and i is iota which will be discussed.

The value of iota is R-1. 

Therefore, z (complex number) = a + ib where a is the real part, and ib is the imaginary part. 

a = Re (z)

b= Im (z)

We can differentiate between the real part and the imaginary part of a complex number with the help of a table given below.

The Integral Powers of Lota 

i =  \[\sqrt{-1}\]

i² = -1 

i³ = i².i = (-1).i = -i

i⁴ = i².i² = (-1) (-1) = 1

Now we can generalise it, therefore;

i\[^{4n+1}\] = i

i\[^{4n+2}\] = = -1

i\[^{4n+3}\] = -i

i\[^{4n+4}\] = 1

It can also be generalized in this form,

If n= even integer then, i\[^{n}\] = (-1)\[^{n/2}\]

And, if n= odd integer then, i\[^{n}\] = (-1)\[^{(n-1)/2}\]

 

What is a purely real complex number and a purely imaginary complex number?

If the imaginary part of a complex number is zero, then it is called a purely real complex number.

Im(z) = 0

If the real part of a complex number is zero, then it is called a purely imaginary complex number.

Re(z) = 0

 

Complex Number Equality

Two complex numbers are taken, z\[_{1}\] and z\[_{2}\]

z\[_{1}\] = a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]

z\[_{2}\] = a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\]

If z\[_{1}\] = z\[_{2}\]

i.e. a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\] = a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\]

then, a\[_{1}\] = a\[_{2}\] and b\[_{1}\] = b\[_{2}\]

Therefore, Re(z\[_{1}\]) = Re(z\[_{2}\])

And Im(z\[_{1}\]) = Im(z\[_{2}\])

 

Algebra in Complex Number

a. Addition

Let, z\[_{1}\] = a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]

and, z\[_{2}\] = a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\]

Adding both the complex numbers we get,

z\[_{1}\] + z\[_{2}\] = (a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]) + (a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\])

=  (a\[_{1}\] + a\[_{2}\]) + i(b\[_{1}\] + b\[_{2}\])  

Properties:

1. Commutative: z\[_{1}\] + z\[_{2}\] = z\[_{2}\] + z\[_{1}\]  

2. Associative: (z\[_{1}\] + z\[_{2}\]) + z\[_{3}\] = z\[_{1}\] + (z\[_{2}\] + z\[_{3}\])

3. Additive identity: 0+z = z+0 = z

b. Subtraction

Let z\[_{1}\] = a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\] 

and, z\[_{2}\] = a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\]  

Subtracting the complex numbers we get:

z\[_{1}\] -  z\[_{2}\] = (a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]) - (a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\])

= (a\[_{1}\] - a\[_{2}\]) + i(b\[_{1}\] - b\[_{2}\])

c. Multiplication 

Let z\[_{1}\] = a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]

and, z\[_{2}\] = a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\] 

Multiplying both the complex numbers, we get

z\[_{1}\] z\[_{2}\]  = (a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]) (a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\])

= (a\[_{1}\]a\[_{2}\] - b\[_{1}\]b\[_{2}\]) + i(a\[_{1}\]b\[_{2}\] + a\[_{2}\]b\[_{1}\])  

Properties:

1. Commutative: z\[_{1}\] z\[_{2}\] = z\[_{2}\] z\[_{1}\]

2. Associative: (z\[_{1}\]z\[_{2}\])z\[_{3}\] = z\[_{1}\](z\[_{2}\] z\[_{3}\])

3. Distributive law: z\[_{1}\](z\[_{2}\] + z\[_{3}\]) =  z\[_{1}\] z\[_{2}\] +  z\[_{1}\] z\[_{3}\]  

3. Multiplicative identity: z.1= 1.z

d. Division

Let z\[_{1}\] = a\[_{1}\] + ib\[_{1}\]

and, z\[_{2}\] = a\[_{2}\] + ib\[_{2}\] 

Dividing z\[_{1}\] by z\[_{2}\] , we get

\[\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}\] = \[\frac{(a_{1} + ib_{1})}{(a_{2} + ib_{2})}\]

=  \[\frac{(a_{1}a_{2} - b_{1}b_{2}) + i(a_{1}b_{2} + a_{2}b_{1})}{a_{1}^{2} + a_{2}^{2}}\],  z\[_{2}\] ≠ 0 

 

Solved Examples on Complex Numbers

1. Express (5 – 3i)³ in the form a + ib.

Solution:  We have, (5 – 3i)³ 

= 5³ – 3 × 5²× (3i) + 3 × 5 (3i)² – (3i)³ 

= 125 – 225i – 135 + 27i 

= – 10 – 198i

 

2. Simplify

a) 16i + 10i(3-i)

b) (7i)(5i)

c) 11i + 13i – 2i

Solution: 

a) 16i + 10i(3-i)

= 16i + 10i(3) + 10i (-i)

= 16i +30i – 10 i2

= 46 i – 10 (-1)

= 46i + 10

b) (7i)(5i) = 35  i2 = 35 (-1) = -35

c) 11i + 13i – 2i = 22i

Conjugate of a Complex Number

It is denoted by \[\bar{z}\]

\[\bar{z}\] = a - ib

 

Modulus of a Complex Number

If z= a+ib 

Then, ।z। = a\[^{2}\] + b\[^{2}\]

 

Argand Plane and Polar Plane

A plane just like XY plane where the complex number a+ib has the coordinates, a and b is called Argand plane. It is also known as the Gaussian plane. 

Argument of a complex number, z is shown by arg(z)= θ = tan-1(a/b)

arg(z) can also be written as amp(z).                                                   

z is 2nπ + θ is the general value of arg(z).

and the length of OP = \[\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}\]

(Image will be Uploaded Soon)

The principal values of the argument lies in the interval (- π, π].

(i) Given x> 0 and y > 0 then, arg (z) = 0

(ii) Given x < 0 and y> 0 then, arg (z) = π -0

(iii) Given x < 0 and y < 0 then, arg (z) = – (π – θ)

(iv) Given x> 0 and y < 0 then, arg (z) = -θ

 

Polar Form

If z = a + ib is a complex number, then z in polar form can be written as, 

z = |z| (cos θ + i sin θ) where, θ = arg (z)

If the general value of the argument is 0, then the polar form of z is

z = |z|[cos (2nπ + θ) + i sin (2nπ + θ)], where n is an integer.
