3 Given that ( x  yi) 2  5  12i , where x and y are real, find the possible values of x + yi.
Hence, solve z 2  4 z   9  12 i .
( x  yi) 2  5  12i
[Without GC]:
 x 2  y 2  2 xyi  5  12i
 x 2  y 2  5 & 2 xy  12 [comparing real and imaginary parts]
 x 4  5 x 2  36  0

Show that the equation z 4  2 z 3  6 z 2  8 z  8  0 has a root of the form ki , where k
is real. Hence solve the equation z 4  2 z 3  6 z 2  8 z  8  0 .
Let f  z   z 4  2 z 3  6 z 2  8 z  8  0
Method 1
f(2i) = (2i)4 – 2(2i)3 + 6(2i)2 – 8(2i) + 8
= 16 + 16i – 24 – 16i + 8 = 0
Thus 2i is a root of this equation. (shown)

2i is a root  2i is also a root.

Equating the real and imaginary parts:

From (1),
k 4  6k 2  8  0
 k 2  2 k 2  4  0 , So k   2 or k  2
