Question 1:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: (5i)(-3i/5)

Answer:
(5i)(-3i/5) = (-5 * 3/5) * I * i
                   = -3 * i2
                   = -3 * (-1)                  [Since i2 = -1]
                   = 3


Question 2:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: i9 + i19

Answer:
i9 + i19 = i4*2 + 1 + i4*4 + 3
            = (i4)2 * i + (i4)4 * i3
            = (1)2 * i + (1)4 * i * i2                 [Since i4 = 1]
            = i + i * (-1)                                  [Since i2 = -1]
            = i – i
            = 0


Question 3:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: i-39

Answer:
i-39 = i-4 * 9 – 3
     = (i-4)9 * i-3
     = (1/i4)9 * i-3
    = 19 * i-3                     [Since i4 = 1]
    = i-3
    = 1/ i3
    = i4/ i3                        [Since i4 = 1]
    = i


Question 4:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib:  3(7 + i7) + i(7 + i7)

Answer:
Given, 3(7 + i7) + i(7 + i7) = 21 + 21i + 7i + 7i2
                                              = 21 + 21i + 7i – 7            [Since i2 = -1]
                                              = 14 + 28i


Question 5:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: (1 – i) – (–1 + i6)

Answer:
Given, (1 – i) – (–1 + i6) = 1 – i + 1 – 6i
                                          = 2 – 7i   


Question 6:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: (1/5 + 2i/5) – (4 + 5i/2)

Answer:
Given, (1/5 + 2i/5) – (4 + 5i/2) = 1/5 + 2i/5 – 4 – 5i/2
                                                      = (1/5 – 4) + (2i/5 – 5i/2)
                                                      = -19/5 + (4i – 25i)/10    
                                                      = -19/5 – 21i/10     


Question 7:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: [(1/3 + 7i/3) + (4 + i/3)] – (-4/3 + i)

Answer:
Given, [(1/3 + 7i/3) + (4 + i/3)] – (-4/3 + i) = 1/3 + 7i/3 + 4 + i/3 + 4/3 – i
                                                                          = (1/3 + 4 + 4/3) + i(7/3 + 1/3 – 1)
                                                                          = 17/3 + 5i/3


Question 8:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: (1 – i)4

Answer:
Given, (1 – i)4 = [(1 – i)2]2   
             = [1 + i2 – 2i]2
            
             = [1 – 1 – 2i]2                  [Since i2 = -1]
            
             = (– 2i)2
                         = 4i2
                         = 4 * (-1)                         [Since i2 = -1]
                         = -4


Question 9:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: (1/3 + 3i)3

Answer:
Given, (1/3 + 3i)3 = (1/3)3 + (3i)3 + 3(1/3)(3i) (1/3 + 3i)
                    = 1/27 + 27i3 + (3i) (1/3 + 3i)  
 
                    = 1/27 + 27i * i2 + i + 9i2   
 
                    = 1/27 + 27i * (-1) + i + 9(-1)                  [Since i2 = -1]
                    = 1/27 – 27i + i – 9
 
                    = (1/27 – 9) – 26i
 
                    = -242/27 – 26i

Question 10:
Express the given complex number in the form a + ib: (-2 – i/3)3

Answer:
Given, (-2 – i/3)3 = (-1)3 (2 + i/3)3
                              = -[23 + (i/3)3 + 3(2)(i/3)(2 + i/3)]
                   = -[8 + i3/27+ (2i) (2 + i/3)]  
 
                    = -[8 – i/27 + 4i + 2i2/3]  
 
                    = -[8 – i/27 + 4i – 2/3]                  [Since i2 = -1]
                   
                    = -[22/3 + 107i/27]
 
                    = -22/3 – 107i/27


Question 11:
Find the multiplicative inverse of the complex number 4 – 3i.

Answer:
Let z = 4 – 3i
Then,
z = 4 + 3i
|z|2 = 42 + (-3)2 = 16 + 9 = 25
Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of 4 – 3i is given by              
z-1 = z/|z|2 = (4 + 3i)/25 = 4/25 + 3i/25
 
 


Question 12:
Find the multiplicative inverse of the complex number √5 + 3i.

Answer:
Let z = √5 + 3i
Then,
z = √5 – 3i
|z|2 = (√5)2 + (-3)2 = 5 + 9 = 14
Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of √5 – 3i is given by             
z-1 = z/|z|2 = (√5 – 3i)/14 = √5/14 – 3i/14


Question 13:
Find the multiplicative inverse of the complex number -i.

Answer:
Let z = -i
Then,
z = i
|z|2 = 12 = 1
Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of -i is given by             
z-1 = z/|z|2 = i/1 = i


Question 14:
Express the following expression in the form of a + ib.
{(3 + i√5)(3 – i√5)}/{(√3 + i√2) – (√3 – i√2)}

Answer:
Given, {(3 + i√5)(3 – i√5)}/{(√3 + i√2) – (√3 – i√2)}
= {32 – (i√5)2}/(√3 + i√2 – √3 + i√2)                 [(a – b)(a + b) = a2 – b2]
= (9 – 5i2)/i2√2
= {9 – 5 * (-1)}/i2√2            [Since i2 = -1]
= (9 + 5)/i2√2
= 14/i2√2
= 7/i√2
= (7/i√2) * (i/i)
= 7i/(√2 * i2)
= 7i/(-√2)                             [Since i2 = -1]
= -7i/√2
= (-7i/√2) * (√2/√2)
= -7√2i/2
