Convert the following in the polar form : (i) `(1+7i)/((2-i)^2)`(ii) `(1+3i)/(1-2i)`

Answer» Let `z =((1+7i))/((2-i)^(2))=((1+7i))/((4+i^(2)-4i))=((1+7i))/((3-4i))xx((3+4i))/((3+4i))`
`rArr" "z=((1+7i)(3+4i))/((9+16))=(-25+25i)/(25)=(-1+i)`.
Let its polar form be `z = r(cos theta + i sin theta)`.
Now, `r=|z|=sqrt((-1)^(2)+1^(2))=sqrt(2)`.
Let `alpha` be the acute angle, given by
`tan alpha=|(Im(z))/(Re(z))|=|(1)/(-1)|= 1 rArr alpha = (pi)/(4)`.
Clearly, the point representing `z = (-1+i)` is P`(-1, 1)`, which lies in the second quadrant.
`therefore" "arg(z) = theta = (pi-alpha)=(pi-(pi)/(4))=(3pi)/(4)`.
Thus, `r=|z|=sqrt(2) and theta = (3pi)/(4)`.
Hence, the required polar form is `z = sqrt(2)("cos"(3pi)/(4) + "i sin"(3pi)/(4))`.

Express `(2 + 3i)^(3)` in the form `(a + ib).`

Answer» We know that `(z_(1) + z_(2))^(3) = z_(1)^(3) + z_(2)^(3) + 3z_(1)z_(2)(z_(1)+z_(2))`.
`therefore" "(2+3i)^(3) = 2^(3)+(3i)^(3) + 3 xx 2 xx 3i xx (2 + 3i)`
`= 8 + 27i^(3)+36i+54i^(2)`
`= (8 - 27i + 36i - 54)" "[because i^(3) = -i and i^(2) = -1]`
`= (-46 + 9i)`.
Hence, `(2+3i)^(3) = (-46 + 9i)`.
4.

Express `(2-3i)^(3)` in the form (a + ib).

Answer» Correct Answer - 46 - 9i
`(2-3i)^(3)=2^(3)-(3i)^(3)-(3xx2xx3i)(2-3i)`
`=(8-27i^(3)-36i-54)=(8+27i-36i-54)=(46-9i)`.

Solve the system of equations `R e(z^2)=0, |z|=2`

Answer» Given that, Re `(z^(2)) = 0, |z| = 2`
Let `z = x + iy`
`|z|=sqrt(x^(2) + y^(2))`
`:. sqrt(x^(2) + y^(2)) = 2`
`rArr x^(2) + y^(2) = 4 " " …(i)`
and Re `(z) = x`
Also, `z = x + iy`
`rArr, z^(2) = x^(2) + 2ixy - y^(2)`
`rArr z^(2) = (x^(2) - y^(2)) + 2ixy`
`rArr Re(z^(2) = x^(2) - Y^(2)" " [:. Re (z^(2)) = 0 ]`
`rArr x^(2) - Y^(2) = 0 " " ...(ii)`
From Eqs. (i) and (ii),
`x^(2) + x^(2) = 4`
`rArr 2x^(2) = 4 rArr x^(2) = 2 `
`rArr x= pm sqrt (2)`
`:. " " y =pmsqrt(2)`
`z = x + iy`
`rArr z = sqrt(2)pmisqrt(2),- sqrt(2)pm isqrt(2)`
6.

Solve the equation, `z^(2) = bar(z)`, where z is a complex number.

Answer» Let z = x + iy. Then,
`z^(2) = bar(z) rArr (x+iy)^(2)=x - iy`
`rArr" "(x^(2)-y^(2))+2ixy = x - iy." "...(i)`
Equating real parts and imaginary parts on both sides of (i) separately, we get
`x^(2)-y^(2)=x" "...(ii) and 2xy = -y" "...(iii)`.
From (iii), we get
`2xy + y = 0 rArr y(2x + 1) = 0 rArr y = 0 or x = (-1)/(2)`.
Case I When y = 0.
Putting y = 0 in (ii), we get
`x^(2)-x = 0 rArr x(x-1) = 0 rArr x = 0 or x = 1`.
`therefore" "(x = 0, y = 0)or(x = 1, y = 0)`
Thus, `z = (0+i0) or z = (1 + i0)`.
Case II When `x = (-1)/(2)`.
Putting `x = (-1)/(2)` in (ii), we get
`((-1)/(2))^(2)-y^(2)=((-1)/(2)) rArr y^(2)=((1)/(4)+(1)/(2))=(3)/(4) rArr y = +-(sqrt(3))/(2)`.
`therefore" "(x=(-1)/(2),y=(sqrt(3))/(2))or(x=(-1)/(2),y=(-sqrt(3))/(2))`.
Thus, `z=((-1)/(2)+(sqrt(3))/(2)i)or z=((-1)/(2)-(sqrt(3))/(2)i)`.
Hence, `z=0,1((-1)/(2)+(sqrt(3))/(2)i)and((-1)/(2)-(sqrt(3))/(2)i)` are the required roots of the given equation.

Convert each of the following complex numbers into polar form: `{:((i),3,(ii),-5,(iii),i,(iv),-2i):}`

Answer» (i) The given complex number is z = 3 + 0i.
Let its polar form be `z = r(cos theta + i sin theta)`.
Now, `r = |z| = sqrt(3^(2)+0^(2))=sqrt(9)=3`.
Clearly, z = 3 + 0i is represented by the point P(3, 0), which lies on the positive side of the x-axis.
`therefore" "arg(z) = theta = 0`.
Thus, `r = 3 and theta = 0`.
Hence, the required polar form of `z = 3 + 0i "is" 3(cos 0 + i sin 0)`.
(ii) The given complex number is z = -5 + 0i.
Let its polar form be `z = r(cos theta + i sin theta)`.
Now, `r=|z|=sqrt((-5)^(2)+0^(2))=sqrt(25)=5`.
Clearly, z = -5 + 0i is represented by the point P(-5, 0), which lies on the negative side of the x-axis.
`therefore" "arg(z) = pi rArr theta = pi`
Thus, r = 5 and `theta = pi`.
Hence, the required polar form of z = -5 + 0i is `5(cos pi + i sin pi)`.
(iii) The given complex number is z = 0 + i.
Let its polar form be `z = r(cos theta + i sin theta)`.
Now, `r = |z| = sqrt(0^(2)+1^(2))=1`.
Clearly, z = 0 + i is respresented by the point P(0, 1), which lies on the y-axis and above the x-axis.
`therefore" "arg(z)=(pi)/(2) rArr theta = (pi)/(2)`.
Thus, `r = 1 and theta = (pi)/(2)`.
Hence, the requird polar form of z = 0 + i is.
`1.("cos"(pi)/(2)+"i sin"(pi)/(2)), i.e., ("cos"(pi)/(2)+"i sin"(pi)/(2))`.
(iv) The given complex number is z = 0 -2i.
Let its polar form be `z = r(cos theta + i sin theta)`.
Now, `r = |z| = sqrt(0^(2) + (-2)^(2))=sqrt(4) =2`.
Clearly, z = (0-2i) is represented by the point P(0, -2), which lies on the y-axis and below the x-axis.
`therefore" "arg(z)=(-pi)/(2) rArr theta = (-pi)/(2)`.
Thus, r = 2 and `theta = (-pi)/(2)`. Hence, the required polar form of z = 0 -2i is
`z=2{cos((-pi)/(2))+i sin((-pi)/(2))}, i.e., 2("cos"(pi)/(2)-"i sin"(pi)/(2))`.

If the complex number `Z_(1)` and `Z_(2), arg (Z_(1))- arg(Z_(2)) =0`. then show that `|z_(1)-z_(2)| = |z_(1)|-|z_(2)|`.

Answer» Let `z_(1) = r_(1) (costheta_(1) + isin theta_(1))`
and `z_(2) = r_(2) (costheta_(2) + isin theta_(2))`
`rArr arg (z_(1)) = theta_(1)arg(z_(2)) = theta_(2)`
Given that, arg `(z_(1)) - arg (z_(2)) = 0`
`theta _(1)-theta _(2) -0 rArr theta _(1) = theta _(2)`
` z_(2) = r_(2) (costheta_(2) + isintheta_(2)) [:.theta_(1) = theta_(2)]`
` z_(1)-z_(2) = (r_(1) costheta_(1)-r_(2) costheta_(1)) + (r_(1) isintheta_(1)- r_(2)isintheta_(1)) `
` |z_(1)-z_(2)| = sqrt((r_(1) costheta_(1)-r_(2) costheta_(1))^(2) + (r_(1) isintheta_(1)- r_(2)isintheta_(1))^(2)) `
`=sqrt(r_(1)^(2) +r_(1)^(2)-2 r_(1)r_(2)cos^(2)theta_(1) -2 r_(1)r_(2)sin^(2)theta_(1))`
`=sqrt(r_(1)^(2) +r_(1)^(2)-2 r_(1)r_(2)(sin^(2)theta_(1) + cos^(2)theta_(1)))`
`=sqrt(r_(1)^(2) +r_(1)^(2)-2 r_(1)r_(2))=sqrt((r_(1)-r_(2))^(2))`
`rArr |z_(1) - z_(2)| =r_(1)-r_(2) [:. r = |z|]`
`|z_(1) - z_(2)|` " "Hence proved

`=(z_(1)+z_(2))(bar(z)_(1)+bar(z)_(2))" "[because bar((z_(1)+z_(2)))=bar(z)_(1)+bar(z)_(2)]`
`=z_(1)bar(z)_(1)+z_(2)bar(z)_(2)+z_(1)bar(z)_(2)+z_(2)bar(z)_(1)`
`=|z_(1)|^(2)+|z_(2)|^(2)+z_(1) bar(z)_(2) + z_(2) bar(z)_(1)." "...(i)`
`|z_(1)-z_(2)|^(2)=(z_(1)-z_(2))(bar(z_(1)-z_(2)))=(z_(1)-z_(2))(bar(z)_(1)-bar(z)_(2))`
`=z_(1) bar(z)_(1)+z_(2)bar(z)_(2)-z_(1)bar(z)_(2)-z_(2)bar(z)_(1)`
`=|z_(1)|^(2)+|z_(2)|^(2)-z_(1)bar(z)_(2)-z_(2)bar(z)_(1)." "...(ii)`
On adding the corresponding sides of (i) and (ii), we get
`|z_(1)+z_(2)|^(2)+|z_(1)-z_(2)|^(2)=2(|z_(1)|^(2)+|z_(2)|^(2))`.

Find real q such that `(3+2isintheta)/(1-2isintheta)`is purelyreal.

Answer» We have
`((3+2i sin theta)/(1-2i sin theta))=((3+2i sin theta))/((1-2i sin theta))xx((1+2i sin theta))/((1+2i sin theta))`
`=((3+2i sin theta)(1+2i sin theta))/((1-4i^(2) sin^(2)theta))`
`=((3-4sin^(2)theta)+i(6sin theta+2sin theta))/((1+4 sin^(2)theta))`
`=((3-4sin^(2)theta)+i(8sin theta))/((1+4 sin^(2)theta))`
Now, `((3+2i sin theta)/(1-2i sin theta))` will be purely real only when `(8 sin theta)/((1+4sin^(2) theta))=0`.
This happens only when `8 sin theta = 0 iff sin theta = 0 iff theta = n pi, n in N`.
Hence, the required value of `theta` is `n pi`, where n `in` N.

Find real `theta` such that `(3+2isintheta)/(1-2isintheta)`is purely real.

Answer» `(3+2isintheta)/(1-2isintheta) = (3+2isintheta)/(1-2isintheta)**(1+2isintheta)/(1+2isintheta)`
`=((3+2isintheta)(1+2isintheta))/(1-4i^2sin^2theta))`
`=(3+6isintheta+2isintheta+4i^2sin^2theta)/(1+4sin^2theta)`
`=(3-4sin^2theta)/(1+4sin^2theta)+(8sintheta)/(1+4sin^2theta)i`
For this number to be real, imaginary part should be `0`.
So, `(8sintheta)/(1+4sin^2theta) =0`
`=>sintheta =0=>theta = npi`
So, when `theta = npi`, given number will be real.

Answer» `(2+3isintheta)/(1-2isintheta) ** (1+2isintheta)/(1+2isintheta)`
`=(2+4isintheta+3isintheta+6i^2sin^2theta)/(1-4i^2sin^2theta)`
`=(2-6sin^2theta+7isintheta)/(1+4sin^2theta)`
`=(2-6sin^2theta)/(1+4sin^2theta) +i(7sintheta)/(1+4sin^2theta)`
For this number to be purely imaginary,
`(2-6sin^2theta)/(1+4sin^2theta) = 0`
