NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 4 - Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Question 1: Evaluate ${[i^{18}+{\left(\frac{1}{i}\right)}^{25}]}^3$ .

Answer:

The given problem is
${[i^{18}+{\left(\frac{1}{i}\right)}^{25}]}^3$
Now, we will reduce it into
${[i^{18}+{\left(\frac{1}{i}\right)}^{25}]}^3={[{\left(i^4\right)}^4\cdot i^2+\frac{1}{{\left(i^4\right)}^6\cdot i}]}^3$
$={[1^4.(-1)+\frac{1}{1^6.i}]}^3$ $(\because i^4=1,i^2=-1)$
$={[-1+\frac{1}{i}]}^3$
$={[-1+\frac{1}{i}\times \frac{i}{i}]}^3$
$={[-1+\frac{i}{i^2}]}^3$
$={[-1+\frac{i}{-1}]}^3={[-1-i]}^3$
Now,
$-(1+i{)}^3=-(1^3+i^3+{3.1}^2.i+3.1.i^2)$ $(using(a+b{)}^3=a^3+b^3+3.a^2.b+3.a.b^2)$
$=-(1-i+3i+3(-1))$ $(\because i^3=-i,i^2=-1)$
$=-(1-i+3i-3)=-(-2+2i)$
$=2-2i$
Therefore, answer is $2-2i$

Question 2: For any two complex numbers $z_1$ and $z_2$ , prove that $Re(z_1{z}_2)=Re{z}_{1}Re{z}_2-Im{z}_{1}Im{z}_2$

Answer:

Let two complex numbers are
$z_1=x_1+i{y}_1$
$z_2=x_2+i{y}_2$
Now,
$z_1.z_2=(x_1+i{y}_1).(x_2+i{y}_2)$
$=x_1{x}_2+i{x}_1{y}_2+i{y}_1{x}_2+i^2{y}_1{y}_2$
$=x_1{x}_2+i{x}_1{y}_2+i{y}_1{x}_2-y_1{y}_2$ $(\because i^2=-1)$
$=x_1{x}_2-y_1{y}_2+i(x_1{y}_2+y_1{x}_2)$
$Re(z_1{z}_2)=x_1{x}_2-y_1{y}_2$
$=Re(z_1{z}_2)-Im(z_1{z}_2)$

Hence proved

Question 3: Reduce $(\frac{1}{1-4i}-\frac{2}{1+i})\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)$ to the standard form.

Answer:

Given problem is
$(\frac{1}{1-4i}-\frac{2}{1+i})\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)$
Now, we will reduce it into

$(\frac{1}{1-4i}-\frac{2}{1+i})\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)=\left(\frac{(1+i)-2(1-4i)}{(1+i)(1-4i)}\right)\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)$
$=\left(\frac{1+i-2+8i}{1-4i+i-4i^2}\right)\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)$
$=\left(\frac{-1+9i}{1-3i-4(-1)}\right)\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)$
$=\left(\frac{-1+9i}{5-3i}\right)\left(\frac{3-4i}{5+i}\right)$
$=\left(\frac{-3+4i+27i-36i^2}{25+5i-15i-3i^2}\right)=\left(\frac{-3+31i+36}{25-10i+3}\right)=\frac{33+31i}{28-10i}=\frac{33+31i}{2(14-5i)}$

Now, multiply numerator an denominator by $(14+5i)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{33+31i}{2(14-5i)}\times \frac{14+5i}{14+5i}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{462+165i+434i+155i^2}{2({14}^2-(5i{)}^2)}$ $(using(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{462+599i-155}{2(196-25i^2)}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{307+599i}{2(196+25)}=\frac{307+599i}{2\times 221}=\frac{307+599i}{442}=\frac{307}{442}+i\frac{599}{442}$

Therefore, answer is $\frac{307}{442}+i\frac{599}{442}$

Question 4: If $x-iy=\sqrt{\frac{a-ib}{c-id}}$ , prove that $(x^2+y^2{)}^2=\frac{a^2+b^2}{c^2+d^2}.$

Answer:

the given problem is

$x-iy=\sqrt{\frac{a-ib}{c-id}}$
Now, multiply the numerator and denominator by

$\sqrt{c+id}$
$x-iy=\sqrt{\frac{a-ib}{c-id}\times \frac{c+id}{c+id}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{(ac+bd)+i(ad-bc)}{c^2-i^2{d}^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{(ac+bd)+i(ad-bc)}{c^2+d^2}}$
Now, square both the sides
$(x-iy{)}^2={\left(\sqrt{\frac{(ac+bd)+i(ad-bc)}{c^2+d^2}}\right)}^2$
$=\frac{(ac+bd)+i(ad-bc)}{c^2+d^2}$
$x^2-y^2-2ixy=\frac{(ac+bd)+i(ad-bc)}{c^2+d^2}$
On comparing the real and imaginary part, we obtain

$x^2-y^2=\frac{ac+bd}{c^2+d^2}and-2xy=\frac{ad-bc}{c^2+d^2}-(i)$

Now,
$(x^2+y^2{)}^2=(x^2-y^2{)}^2+4x^2{y}^2$
$={\left(\frac{ac+bd}{c^2+d^2}\right)}^2+{\left(\frac{ad-bc}{c^2+d^2}\right)}^2(using(i))$
$=\frac{a^2{c}^2+b^2{d}^2+2acbd+a^2{d}^2+b^2{c}^2-2adbc}{(c^2+d^2{)}^2}$
$=\frac{a^2{c}^2+b^2{d}^2+a^2{d}^2+b^2{c}^2}{(c^2+d^2{)}^2}$
$=\frac{a^2(c^2+d^2)+b^2(c^2+d^2)}{(c^2+d^2{)}^2}$
$=\frac{(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)}{(c^2+d^2{)}^2}$
$=\frac{(a^2+b^2)}{(c^2+d^2)}$

Hence proved.

Question 5: If $z_1=2-i,z_2=1+i$ , find $\left|\frac{z_1+z_2+1}{z_1-z_2+1}\right|$ .

Answer:

It is given that
$z_1=2-i,z_2=1+i$
Then,
$\left|\frac{z_1+z_2+1}{z_1-z_2+1}\right|=\left|\frac{2-i+1+i+1}{2-i-1-i+1}\right|=\left|\frac{4}{2(1-i)}\right|=\left|\frac{2}{(1-i)}\right|$
Now, multiply the numerator and denominator by $1+i$
$\Rightarrow |\frac{2}{(1-i)}\times \frac{1+i}{1+i}|=\left|\frac{2(1+i)}{1^2-i^2}\right|=\left|\frac{2(1+i)}{1+1}\right|=|1+i|$
Now,
$|1+i|=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}$
Therefore, the value of

$\left|\frac{z_1+z_2+1}{z_1-z_2+1}\right|$ is $\sqrt{2}$

Question 6: If $a+ib=\frac{(x+i{)}^2}{2x^2+1}$ , prove that $a^2+b^2=\frac{(x^2+1{)}^2}{(2x^2+1{)}^2}$ .

Answer:

It is given that
$a+ib=\frac{(x+i{)}^2}{2x^2+1}$
Now, we will reduce it into

$a+ib=\frac{(x+i{)}^2}{2x^2+1}=\frac{x^2+i^2+2xi}{2x^2+1}=\frac{x^2-1+2xi}{2x^2+1}=\frac{x^2-1}{2x^2+1}+i\frac{2x}{2x^2+1}$
On comparing real and imaginary part. we will get
$a=\frac{x^2-1}{2x^2+1}andb=\frac{2x}{2x^2+1}$
Now,
$a^2+b^2={\left(\frac{x^2-1}{2x^2+1}\right)}^2+{\left(\frac{2x}{2x^2+1}\right)}^2$
$=\frac{x^4+1-2x^2+4x^2}{(2x^2+1{)}^2}$
$=\frac{x^4+1+2x^2}{(2x^2+1{)}^2}$
$=\frac{(x^2+1{)}^2}{(2x^2+1{)}^2}$
Hence proved

Question 7 (i): Let $z_1=2-i,z_2=-2+i.$ Find

$Re\left(\frac{z_1{z}_2}{\overline{z_1}}\right)$

Answer:

It is given that
$z_1=2-iand{z}_2=-2+i$
Now,
$z_1{z}_2=(2-i)(-2+i)=-4+2i+2i-i^2=-4+4i+1=-3+4i$
And
${\overline{z}}_1=2+i$
Now,
$\frac{z_1{z}_2}{{\overline{z}}_1}=\frac{-3+4i}{2+i}=\frac{-3+4i}{2+i}\times \frac{2-i}{2-i}=\frac{-6+3i+8i-4i^2}{2^2-i^2}=\frac{-6+11i+4}{4+1}$ $=\frac{-2+11i}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}+i\frac{11}{5}$
Now,
$Re\left(\frac{z_1{z}_2}{z_1}\right)=-\frac{2}{5}$
Therefore, the answer is

$-\frac{2}{5}$

Question 7 (ii): Let $z_1=2-i,z_2=-2+i.$ Find

$Im\left(\frac{1}{z_1\overline{z_1}}\right)$

Answer:

It is given that
$z_1=2-i$
Therefore,
${\overline{z}}_1=2+i$
NOw,
$z_1{\overline{z}}_1=(2-i)(2+i)=2^2-i^2=4+1=5$ $(using(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2)$
Now,
$\frac{1}{z_1{\overline{z}}_1}=\frac{1}{5}$
Therefore,
$Im\left(\frac{1}{z_1{\overline{z}}_1}\right)=0$
Therefore, the answer is 0.

Question 8: Find the real numbers x and y if $(x-iy)(3+5i)$ is the conjugate of $-6-24i$.

Answer:

Let
$z=(x-iy)(3+5i)=3x+5xi-3yi-5y{i}^2=3x+5y+i(5x-3y)$
Therefore,
$\overline{z}=(3x+5y)-i(5x-3y)-(i)$
Now, it is given that
$\overline{z}=-6-24i-(ii)$
Comparing (i) and (ii), we will get
$(3x+5y)-i(5x-3y)=-6-24i$
On comparing the real and imaginary part, we will get
$3x+5y=-6and5x-3y=24$
On solving these we will get
$x=3andy=-3$

Therefore, the values of x and y are 3 and -3 respectively

Question 9: Find the modulus of $\frac{1+i}{1-i}-\frac{1-i}{1+i}$ .

Answer:

Let
$z=\frac{1+i}{1-i}-\frac{1-i}{1+i}$
Now, we will reduce it into
$z=\frac{1+i}{1-i}-\frac{1-i}{1+i}=\frac{(1+i{)}^2-(1-i{)}^2}{(1+i)(1-i)}=\frac{1^2+i^2+2i-1^2-i^2+2i}{1^2-i^2}$ $=\frac{4i}{1+1}=\frac{4i}{2}=2i$
Now,
$r\cos \theta =0andr\sin \theta =2$
square and add both the sides. we will get,
$r^2{\cos }^2\theta +r^2{\sin }^2\theta =0^2+2^2$
$r^2({\cos }^2\theta +{\sin }^2\theta )=4$
$r^2=4(\because {\cos }^2\theta +{\sin }^2\theta =1)$
$r=2(\because r>0)$

Therefore, the modulus of

$\frac{1+i}{1-i}-\frac{1-i}{1+i}$ is 2

Question 10: If $(x+iy{)}^3=u+iv$ , then show that $\frac{u}{x}+\frac{v}{y}=4(x^2-y^2).$

Answer:

it is given that
$(x+iy{)}^3=u+iv$
Now, expand the Left-hand side
$x^3+(iy{)}^3+3.(x{)}^2.iy+3.x.(iy{)}^2=u+iv$
$x^3+i^3{y}^3+3x^{2}iy+3x{i}^2{y}^2=u+iv$
$x^3-i{y}^3+3x^{2}iy-3x{y}^2=u+iv$ $(\because i^3=-iand{i}^2=-1)$
$x^3-3x{y}^2+i(3x^{2}y-y^3)=u+iv$
On comparing real and imaginary part. we will get,
$u=x^3-3x{y}^{2}andv=3x^{2}y-y^3$
Now,
$\frac{u}{x}+\frac{v}{y}=\frac{x(x^2-3y^2)}{x}+\frac{y(3x^2-y^2)}{y}$
$=x^2-3y^2+3x^2-y^2$
$=4x^2-4y^2$
$=4(x^2-y^2)$
Hence proved

Question 11: If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are different complex numbers with $|\beta |=1$ , then find $\left|\frac{\beta -\alpha }{1-\overline{\alpha }\beta }\right|$ .
