(A)

rectangle

(B)

rhombus

(C)

trapezium

(D)

parallelogram

Solution:

Let `A = 0, B = 2 + 3i, C = i, D = 2- 2i`

Now, `AB = sqrt(2^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(13)`

`BC = sqrt(2^2 + 2^2) = sqrt8`

`CD = sqrt(2^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(13)`

` DA = sqrt(2^2 + 2^2) = sqrt(8)`

Also, `AC = sqrt(1^2) = 1`

`BD = sqrt((4)^2+ (5)^2) = sqrt(16 + 25)`

`= sqrt(41)`

`=> AB != BC`

Hence, it is a parallelogram
Correct Answer is `=>` (D) parallelogram

Q 2610356219

Express the complex number in polar form `5+2i`

Solution:

So, first find the absolute value of r

`r = |z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = sqrt(5^2+2^2)`

`=5.39 `

Now find the argument `θ`

Since `a>0` , use the formula `θ= tan^(-1)(b/a)`

`θ= tan^(-1)(2/5) = 0.38` (θ is measured in radians.)

Therefore, the polar form of `5 + 2 i` is about `5.39(cos(0.38)+isin(0.38))`
Q 1365412365

Convert the given complex number in polar form `-1-i`

(A)

`sqrt{2} [cos (-frac{ pi}{2})+i sin(-frac{pi}{2})]`

(B)

`sqrt{2} [cos (frac{3 pi}{2})+i sin(frac{3 pi}{2})]`

(C)

`sqrt{2} [cos (-frac{3 pi}{4})+i sin(-frac{3 pi}{4})]`

(D)

`sqrt{2} [cos (frac{ pi}{2})+i sin(frac{pi}{2})]`

Solution:

Explanation :

Let `r cos theta =-1 ` and `r sin theta = -1`

on squaring and adding , we obtain

`(r cos theta)^{2}+(r sin theta)^{2} = (-1)^{2}+(-1)^{2}`

`r^{2}(cos^{2} theta + sin^{2} theta) = 1+ 1`

`r^{2} = 2` `[cos^{2} theta + sin^{2} theta=1]`

`r =sqrt{2} ` [conventionally ,` r > 0` ]

Therefore , `sqrt{2} cos theta =- 1 ` and `sqrt{2} sin theta = - 1`

`cos theta =frac{-1}{sqrt{2}}` and `sin theta = frac{-1}{sqrt{2}}`

`theta = - (pi-frac{pi}{4})=-frac{3 pi}{4}` [`theta` lies in the `3^{rd}` quadrant]

`-1-i = r cos theta + i r sin theta`

`=sqrt{2} [cos (-frac{3 pi}{4})+i sin(-frac{3 pi}{4})]` this is the required polar form .
Correct Answer is `=>` (C) `sqrt{2} [cos (-frac{3 pi}{4})+i sin(-frac{3 pi}{4})]`
Q 1715345260

NCERT Exemplar
Solution:

Given that, `| z | = 4` and `arg (z) = (5pi)/6`

Let `z = x + iy = r (cos theta + i sin theta)`

`=> | z | = r = 4` and `arg (z) = theta`

`∵ tan theta = (5pi)/6`

`=> z = 4 ( cos ((pi)/6) + i sin (pi/6) ) = 4 [cos(pi - pi//6) + i sin (pi - pi//6)]`

` = 4[ -cos (pi/6) + i sin (pi/6) ) = 4 [ (-sqrt(3))/2 + i (1/2) ] = -2sqrt(3) + 2i`

Q 2312480339

`sqrt(6 + 8i) + sqrt(6 − 8i)` is equal to :
BITSAT Mock
(A)

`3 sqrt(2) i`

(B)

`2 sqrt(2) i`

(C)

`4 sqrt(2) i`

(D)

None of these

Solution:

Let `sqrt(6 + 8i) = a + ib`

`6 + 8i = (a + ib)^2` [Squaring both sides]

`6 + 8i = a^2 + i^2b^2 + 2iab`

`6 + 8i = (a^2 − b^2) + 2iab`

Comparing the co-efficients of both sides

`a^2 − b^2 = 6` ...(1)

`2ab =8`

`a = 4/b`

Putting value of a in(1)

`(16)/b^2 − b^2 = 6`

`16 − b^4 = 6b^2`

`b^4 + 6b^2 − 16 = 0`

`b^4 + 8b^2 − 2b^2 − 16 = 0`

`b^2 (b^2 + 8) − 2 (b^2 + 8) = 8`

`b^2 − 2 = 0, b^2 + 8 = 0`

`b = √2`

we get `a = 4/sqrt(2) = 2sqrt(2)`

So, `sqrt(6 + 8i) = 2sqrt(2) + sqrt(2) i`

`sqrt(6−8i) = 2sqrt(2) − sqrt(2) i`

`∴ sqrt(6 + 8i) − sqrt(6 − 8i)`

`= (2 sqrt(2) + sqrt(2) i) − (2 sqrt(2) − sqrt(2) i)`

`= 2sqrt(2) i`.
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `2 sqrt(2) i`
Q 2681201127

(A) True
(B) False
Solution:

`z^3= bar z i |z| => | z^3| = | bar z| | i | |z| `

Thus `z = 0` is a solution

if `|z|=1, ` Let `z=e^(i theta)` then `e^ (3 i theta)=ie^(-i theta) `

`=> e^(4 i theta) =i`

`=> 4 theta =pi/2 ,( 5pi)/2 , (9 pi)/2 , (13 pi)/2`

`:. theta =pi/8 , (5 pi)/8 , (9 pi)/8 , (13 pi)/8` are solutions.

`:.` In all there are 5 solutions

take `x = cos theta + i sin theta`

`x^n = cos ntheta + i sin n theta`

and `1/ x^n =cos n theta- i sin n theta`

`:. x^n + (1// x^n) = 2cos n theta`

`:. 2x^(2n) cos ntheta + 1 = 0`
Correct Answer is `=>` (C) `0`
Q 2434480352

The real part of `(1 - i )^(-i)` is
UPSEE 2012
(A)

`e^(-pi/4) cos (1/2 log 2)`

(B)

`-e^(-pi/4) sin (1/2 log 2)`

(C)

`e^(pi/4) cos (1/2 log 2)`

(D)

`e^(-pi/4) sin (1/2 log 2)`

Solution:

Let `z= (1-i)^(-i)`

On taking log on both sides, we get

`=> log z = -i log (1-i)`

`= - i log sqrt(2) (cos pi/4 - i sin pi/4)`

`= -i log (sqrt (2) * e^((-i pi)/4))`

`= -i [1/2 log 2 + log e^ ((-i pi)/4)]`

`= -i [1/2 log 2 - (i pi)/4] = -i/2 log 2 - pi/4`

`=> z = e^(-pi/4) * e^(-i/2 log 2)`

On taking real part only,

`=> Re (z) = e^(-pi/4) * cos (1/2 log 2)`
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) `e^(-pi/4) cos (1/2 log 2)`

Solution:

Given `z_1 = 2+3i` and `z_2 = 3+4i`

Now we have


`|z-z_1|^2+|z-z_2|^2 = |z_1-z_2|^2` (let `z = x+iy`)


`=> |(x+iy)-(2+3i)|^2+|(x+iy)-(3+4i)|^2 = |(2+3i)-(3+4i)|^2`


`=> | (x-2)+i(y-3)|^2+|(x-3)+i(y-4)|^2 = |-1-i^2|`


`=> (x-2)^2+(y-3)^2+(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2 = 1+1`


`=> x^2+4-4x+y^2+9-6y`


`=> 2x^2+2y^2-10x-14y+36 = 0`


`=> x^2+y^2-5x-7y+18 = 0`

which represent a drcle with centre `(5/2 , 7/2)` and radius `sqrt(25/4+49/4-18) = 1/sqrt2`

We know that, `omega = (-1+ sqrt (3)i )/2 1-sqrt(3) i = -2 omega`

and `omega^2 = (-1 - sqrt (3) i)/2 1+ sqrt() i = -2 omega^2`

Now, `((1+sqrt(3) i)/(1- sqrt(3) i))^(64) + ((1- sqrt(3) i)/(1+ sqrt (3) i))^(64)`

`= ((-2 omega^2)/(-2 omega))^(64) + ((-2 omega)/(-2 omega))^(64)`

` => Delta = |(1, 0, 0) , (1, -2-omega^2, omega^2 -1) , (1, omega^2 - 1, omega^4 - 1)|`

[Applying `C_2 -> C_2 - C_1, C_3 -> C_3 - C_1`] `[ :. omega^3 = 1]`

Q 2475891766

Common roots of the equations
`z^3 + 2z^2 + 2z + 1 = 0` and `z^(1985) + z^(100) +1 = 0`
are
UPSEE 2014
(A)

` omega , omega^2`

(B)

` omega , omega^3`

(C)

` omega^2 , omega^3`

(D)

None of these

Solution:

The given equation `z^3 + 2z^2 + 2z + 1 = 0` can be

rewritten as `(z + 1) (z^2 + z + 1) = 0`. Its roots are

`- 1, omega` and `omega ^2`.

Let `f(z) = z^(1985) + z^(100) + 1`

Putting `z - 1, omega ` and `omega ^2` respectively, we get

`f(-1) = (-1)^(1985) + (-1)^(100) + 1 != 0`

Therefore, `- 1` is not a root of the equation

`f(z) = 0`.

Again, `f(omega ) = omega ^(1985) + omega ^(100) + 1`

`= (omega ^3)^(661) omega ^2 + (omega ^3)^(33) omega + 1`

`= omega ^2 + omega + 1 = 0`

Therefore, `omega ` is a root of the equation `f(z) = 0`.

Similarly, `f(omega ^2) = 0`

Hence, `omega ` and `omega ^2` are the common roots.
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) ` omega , omega^2`
