(1)(a + bi) = 4 + i
= 4 + 4i + (1)
a  bi = 4 + i
= 3 + 4i (1A)
∴ b = 1
b = 1
2. (1 + 4i)(y + i) = x + 3yi
y + 4yi  i + 4i2 = x + 3yi (1M) 6. C
y + (4y  1)i + 4(1) = x + 3yi
(2  i3)(p  i)
(y  4) + (4y  1)i = x + 3yi
= [2  (i2)(i)](p  i)
∴
= [2  (1)(i)](p  i)
(1M)
= (2 + i)(p  i)
From (2), y = 1 (1A)
= 2p + pi  2i  i2
Substitute y = 1 into (1).
= 2p + (p  2)i  (1)
1  4 = x
= (2p + 1) + (p  2)i
x = 5 (1A) ∴ The real part is 2p + 1.
3. C
I. =
∴ The result of I is a rational number.
II. = 1.570 796…
∴ The result of II is not a rational number.
III.  =  = =
∴ The result of III is a rational number.
