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,

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

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

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

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

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.

FAQs on Important Questions for CBSE Class 11 Maths Chapter 4 - Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

1. What are the most important question types from the CBSE Class 11 Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations chapter for board exams (2025–26)?

  • 1-mark: Value of powers of iota, identify real and imaginary parts
  • 2-mark: Modulus/conjugate, express as a+ib, simple quadratic equation roots
  • 3-mark: Polar form conversion, sum/product of complex numbers, verifying identities
  • 4–5-mark (HOTS): Prove algebraic properties, geometrical interpretations, argument-based proofs
  • Long answer (6-mark): Proof-based, polar-to-algebraic conversions, case-based application questions involving quadratic equations with complex roots
These reflect the typical marking distribution and question trends as per CBSE 2025–26.

2. How do you evaluate the value of powers of i, such as i98 or i-39?

  • Powers of i (iota) repeat every 4 steps: i1=i, i2=-1, i3=-i, i4=1
  • Remainder rule: Divide exponent by 4; use the remainder to pick value
  • Example: i98 → 98 ÷ 4 = remainder 2 → i2 = -1
  • Negative exponents: i-39 = i-(4×10)-(-39-40) = i1 = i

3. What are common mistakes students make when solving quadratic equations with complex roots (Class 11)?

  • Forgetting to use \( i = \sqrt{-1} \) when the discriminant is negative
  • Incorrect formula usage: Only apply quadratic formula roots \( x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \) after checking for negative discriminant
  • Ignoring simplification: Not expressing complex solutions in standard a+ib form
  • Omitting conjugate pairs: Roots for real-coefficient quadratics always come in conjugate pairs
  • Confusing modulus and argument

4. How do you write a complex number in polar form, and why is this representation important in exams?

A complex number z = a + ib can be written in polar form as |z|(cosθ + i sinθ), where |z| = √(a² + b²) and θ = arctan(b/a). This form is crucial for:

  • Multiplying/dividing complex numbers efficiently
  • Solving higher-order and proof-based questions involving arguments
  • Visualizing numbers on the Argand plane (CBSE HOTS)

5. Why must roots of quadratic equations with real coefficients always occur in conjugate pairs if they are complex?

For any quadratic equation with real coefficients (ax² + bx + c = 0), if one root is y = p + iq (with q ≠ 0), the other must be its conjugate (p – iq) because:

  • The sum and product of roots must be real (from quadratic theory)
  • Complex parts cancel when summed or multiplied, as required by CBSE exam logic

6. What is the difference between the modulus and the argument of a complex number, and how are they calculated?

  • Modulus (|z|): Distance from origin — |z| = √(a² + b²)
  • Argument (arg(z)): Angle with positive real axis — θ = tan⁻¹(b/a) (be careful with quadrant)
Both are required for polar form and are standard components of 3- or 4-mark CBSE problems.

7. How can you prove for Class 11 HOTS that (a+ib) × (a-ib) = a² + b² for any complex number?

  • Multiply: (a+ib)(a-ib) = a² - iab + iab - i²b²
  • i² = -1 → so, = a² + b²
  • This shows product of a number and its conjugate is always real, often tested as a 2-mark or HOTS step.

8. In what types of science or engineering problems do complex numbers play a crucial role?

  • Electrical engineering (AC circuits analysis)
  • Fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, signal processing
  • Control systems, vibration analysis
This exam-relevant FUQ illustrates why mastering this chapter supports application-based and interdisciplinary questions.

9. What strategies help quickly identify if a quadratic equation will have complex solutions in Class 11 CBSE exams?

  • Calculate discriminant D = b² – 4ac
  • If D < 0, solutions will involve i (complex roots)
  • Always express answer in a + ib form when D is negative

10. How do you express (1+3i)-1 in a+ib form in Class 11 important questions?

  • Take reciprocal: 1/(1+3i)
  • Multiply numerator and denominator by conjugate (1–3i)
  • = (1–3i)/(1+9) = (1/10) – (3/10)i
  • Final answer: (1/10) – (3/10)i

11. FUQ: If two complex numbers have equal moduli, must they be equal? Why or why not?

No. Equal modulus (distance from origin) can correspond to points that are reflections or rotations of each other on the Argand plane. Example: 2+i and –2–i both have modulus √5 but are distinct.

12. FUQ: How can you detect and correct the fallacy in showing -1 = 1 using square roots of negatives?

The error occurs because multiplication of square roots does not always behave as for positive numbers. Correctly, \( \sqrt{-1} \times \sqrt{-1} = (-1) \), NOT \( \sqrt{(-1)\times(-1)}=1 \). Always check definition domains when handling i in proofs.

13. What are the typical HOTS/conceptual 4–6 mark questions from complex numbers and quadratic equations for Class 11?

  • Prove identities involving moduli and arguments (e.g., |z1z2| = |z1|×|z2|)
  • Convert between algebraic and polar forms and prove locus/geometry properties
  • Show that roots of certain equations are conjugate, or deduce properties of solutions using modulus/argument
  • Evaluate expressions with powers of i and conjugate operations

14. FUQ: Why is the principal argument of a complex number defined within (–π, π], and how does it affect conversions?

The principal argument ensures a unique angle representation for each complex number in polar form, avoiding ambiguity and ensuring correctness in geometric interpretation and conversions, as per CBSE and NCERT syllabus guidelines.

15. How can you quickly check your answer for sum and product of roots in a quadratic equation during exams?

  • Sum of roots: –b/a
  • Product: c/a
  • Verify your calculated complex roots satisfy these relationships; for conjugate roots p+iq and p–iq, sum is 2p and product is p²+q²
Always helps avoid calculation errors and secure method marks.
