(II) Answer the following:

Question 1.
Simplify the following and express in the form a + ib.
(i) 3 + √-64
Solution:

3 + √-64
= 3 + √64 √-1
= 3 + 8i

(iii) (2 + 3i) (1 – 4i)
Solution:

(2 + 3i)(1 – 4i)
= 2 – 8i + 3i – 12
= 2 – 5i – 12(-1) …..[∵  = -1]
= 14 – 5i


Solution:


= (-8 + 6i)(3 + i)
= -24 – 8i + 18i + 6i2
= -24 + 10i + 6(-1)
= -24 + 10i – 6
= -30 + 10i


Solution:

Question 2.
Solve the following equations for x, y ∈ R
(i) (4 – 5i)x + (2 + 3i)y = 10 – 7i
Solution:

(4 – 5i)x + (2 + 3i)y = 10 – 7i
(4x + 2y) + (3y – 5x) i = 10 – 7i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we get
4x + 2y= 10 i.e., 2x + y = 5 ……(i)
and 3y – 5x = -7 ……(ii)
Equation (i) × 3 – equation (ii) gives
11x = 22
∴ x = 2
Putting x = 2 in (i), we get
2(2) + y = 5
∴ y = 1
∴ x = 2 and y = 1


x + iy = (7 – i)(2 + 3i)
x + iy = 14 + 21i – 2i – 3
x + iy = 14 + 19i – 3(-1)
x + iy = 17 + 19i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we get
∴ x = 17 and y = 19

(iii) (x + iy) (5 + 6i) = 2 + 3i
Solution:


2x + 2yi – y + xi = 10
(2x – y) + (x + 2y)i = 10 + 0 . i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we get
2x – y = 10 ……(i)
and x + 2y = 0 ……..(ii)
Equation (i) × 2 + equation (ii) gives, we get
5x = 20
∴ x = 4
Putting x = 4 in (i), we get
2(4) – y = 10
y = 8 – 10
∴ y = -2
∴ x = 4 and y = -2

Question 3.

Question 7.
Represent 1 + 21, 2 – i, -3 – 2i, -2 + 3i by points in Argand’s diagram.
Solution:

The complex numbers 1 + 2i, 2 – i, -3 – 2i, -2 + 3i will be represented by the points A(1, 2), B(2, -1), C(-3, -2), D(-2, 3) respectively as shown below:

Question 8.

Solution:

Question 9.
Find the real numbers x and y such that



(3x + y) + 2(x + y)i = 5 + 6i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we get
3x + y = 5 ……(i)
and 2(x + y) = 6
i.e., x + y = 3 …….(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
2x = 2
∴ x = 1
Putting x = 1 in (ii), we get
1 + y = 3
∴ y = 2
∴ x = 1, y = 2

Question 10.
