Question

Multiply the following complex numbers:

$\left (5 + i \right )\left (5 + 2i \right )$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

FOIL the product out:

$\left (5 + i \right )\left (5 + 2i \right )$

To FOIL multiply the first terms from each binomial together, multiply the outer terms of both terms together, multiply the inner terms from both binomials together, and finally multiply the last terms from each binomial together.

$=5 \cdot 5 + 5 \cdot 2i + 5 \cdot i + i\cdot 2i$

$=25 + 10i + 5 i + $2i^{2}$$

Recall that i is an imaginary number and by definition . Substituting this into the function is as follows.

Answer

FOIL the product out:

$\left (7 - 2i \right )\left (7 - 3i \right )$

$= 7 \cdot 7 - 7 \cdot 3i - 7 \cdot 2i + 2i \cdot 3i$

Question

Simplify:

$\left ( 8 - 3i\right ) ^{2}$

Answer

Use the square of a binomial pattern to multiply this:

$\left ( 8 - 3i\right ) ^{2}$

$= 8 ^{2}- 2 \cdot8\cdot3i + \left ( 3i\right $)^{2}$$

$= 64- 48i + $3^{2}$$i^{2}$$

Question

Multiply:

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

This is a product of an imaginary number and its complex conjugate, so it can be evaluated using this formula:

$\left (a + bi \right )\left (a -bi \right ) = $a^{2}$ + b ^{2}$

$\left (1.1 + 0.6i \right )\left (1.1 -0.6 i \right ) = $1.1^{2}$ + 0.6 ^{2} = 1.21 + 0.36 = 1.57$

Question

Multiply:

$\left (5 - 3i \right )\left (5 +3i \right )$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

This is a product of an imaginary number and its complex conjugate, so it can be evaluated using this formula:

$\left (a - bi \right )\left (a +bi \right ) = $a^{2}$ + b ^{2}$

$\left (5 - 3i \right )\left (5 +3i \right ) = 5 ^{2} + 3 ^{2}= 25 + 9 = 34$

Question

Define an operation $\wedge$ as follows:

For all complex numbers ,

$a \wedge b = a \div (b+ 3)$

Evaluate $7i \wedge 5i$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$a \wedge b = a \div (b+ 3) = $\frac{a}{b+3}$$

$7i \wedge 5i = $\frac{7i }{5i+3}$ = $\frac{7i }{3+ 5i}$$

Multiply both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, , to rationalize the denominator:

$7i \wedge 5i = $\frac{7i (3-5i)}{(3+ 5i)(3-5i)}$$

$= $\frac{7i \cdot 3-7i \cdot $5i}{3^{2}$$+ $5^{2}$}$

$= $\frac{21i -35 \cdot $i^{2}$$}{9+25}$

$= $\frac{21i-35 (-1)}{34}$$

$= $\frac{21i+35}{34}$$

$= $\frac{ 35+21i}{34}$$

$= $\frac{ 35 }{34}$ + $\frac{ 21}{34}$ i$

Question

Define an operation $\wedge$ as follows:

For all complex numbers ,

$a \wedge b = a \div (b+ 2i)$

Evaluate $8 \wedge 4$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$a \wedge b = a \div (b+ 2i) = $\frac{a}{b+2i}$$

$8 \wedge 4 = $\frac{8}{4+2i}$$

Multiply both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, , to rationalize the denominator:

$8 \wedge 4 = $\frac{8(4-2i)}{(4+2i)(4-2i)}$$

$= $\frac{8\cdot 4-8\cdot $2i}{4^{2}$$$+2^{2}$}$

$= $\frac{32-16i}{16+4}$$

$= $\frac{32-16i}{20}$$

$= $\frac{32 }{20}$ - $\frac{ 16}{20}$i$

$= $\frac{8}{5}$ -$\frac{ 4}{5}$i$

Question

Define an operation as follows:

For all complex numbers ,

$ab = a ^${5}-b^{3}$$

Evaluate $\left (2 i \right ) \left (3i \right )$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$ab = a ^${5}-b^{3}$$

$\left (2 i \right ) \left (3i \right ) = \left (2 i \right ) ^{5}-\left (3i \right ) ^{3}$

$= $2^{5}$ $i^{5}$ - $3^{3}$ i ^{3}$

$= 32\cdot $i^{4}$ \cdot i - 27 \cdot (-i )$

Question

Give the number which, when multiplied by , yields the same result as if it were increased by 6.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Let be the number in question. The statement "\[a number\] multiplied by yields the same result as if it were increased by 6" can be written as

We can solve this for as follows:

$N(-1+i) \div (-1+i) = 6 \div (-1+i)$

$N = \frac{6}{-1+i}$

Rationalize the denominator by multiplying both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is :

$N = \frac{6(-1- i)}{(-1+i)(-1- i)}$

$= \frac{6(-1)- 6\cdot i}{(-1)^{2}+1^{2}}$

$= \frac{-6-6i}{1+1}$

$= \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

Question

Define an operation $\wedge$ as follows:

For all complex numbers ,

$a \wedge b = a \div (b+ 4)$ .

If $(8i )\wedge N = 16$ , evaluate .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$(8i )\wedge N = 16$ ,

by our definition, can be rewritten as

$8i \div (N+ 4) = 16$

or

$$\frac{8i }{N+ 4}$= 16$

Taking the reciprocal of both sides, then multiplying:

$\frac{N+ 4}{8i }$= $\frac{1}{16}$

$$\frac{N+ 4}{8i }$ \cdot 8i = $\frac{1}{16}$\cdot 8i$

$N+ 4 = $\frac{1}{2}$i$

$N+ 4 - 4 = $\frac{1}{2}$i- 4$

$N =- 4 + $\frac{1}{2}$i$
