Q1: Verify that

Solution:
z=−3+ 4 i , so z=−3+ 4 i=−3−4 i
z z =(−3+4 i ) (−3−4 i )
¿ (−3 ) (−3 ) + (−3 )(−4 i )+ ( 4 i ) (−3 ) + ( 4 i )(−4 i )
2
¿ 9+12 i−12 i−16 i
¿ 9−16 (−1 )
z z = 25

Now |z|=√ (−3 )2+ ( 4 )2=√ 25=5

|z| =5 2=25
Hence |z|2=z z

Q2: Verify that

Solution:
z 1+ z2 =( 2+ i )+ (−3+9 i )

¿ ( 2−3 )+ ( i+ 9i )
¿−1+10 i
¿−1−10 i

z 1+ z2 =( 2+i )+ (−3+9 i )
¿ 2−i+ (−3−9 i )
¿−1−10 i
 Hence z 1+ z2 =z1 + z 2

Q5: Verify that the triangle inequality for z1 = – 8 + i, z2 = –3 + 8i.

Solution:

z 1=– 8+i,|z 1|= √ (−8 ) +1 =√ 65=8.06

2 2

z 2=– 3+ 8 i,|z 2|= √ (−3 )2+ 82=√ 73=8.5

z 1+ z2 =( – 8+i ) + ( – 3+8 i )=−11+ 9i

|z 1 + z 2|=√ (−11)2 +9 2=√202=14.12

Clearly |z 1 + z 2|<|z 1|+|z 2|
14.12 < 8.06+8.5
14.12 < 16.56
Q6: Find the Polar representation of the complex numbers z = – 7 + 5i.

Solution:

We represent z=(x , y ) in ( r , θ ) in polar form.

For z=x +i y ,r =|z|= √ (−7 ) +5 =√ 74

Q7: Find the Polar representation of the complex numbers z = ( 0, 11 ) = 11i.

Solution:

We represent z=(x , y ) in ( r , θ ) in polar form.

For z=x +i y ,r =|z|= √ ( 0 ) +112=√ 121=11
