Question 19:
If (a + ib) (c + id) (e + if) (g + ih) = A + iB, then show that (a2 + b2) (c2 + d2) (e2 + f2) (g2 + h2) = A2 + B2.
Answer
(a + ib) (c + id) (e + if) (g + ih) =A + IB’
∴ |(a + ib) (c + id) (e + if) (g + ih)| = |A + iB|
⇒ |(a + ib) ×|(c + id)| × |(e + if | × |(g + ih)| = |A + iB| [|z1z2| = |z1||z2|]
On squaring both sides, we obtain
(a2 + b2) (c2 + d2) (e2 + f2) (g2 + h2) = A2 + B2
Hence, proved.
Question 18:

Question 16:
Answer
(x + iy)3 = u + iv
⇒ x3 + (iy)3 + 3 ∙ x ∙ iy(x + iy) = u + iv
⇒ x3 + i3y3 + 3x2yi + 3xy2i2 = u + iv
⇒ x3 – iy3 + 3x2yi− 3xy2 = u + iv
⇒ (x3 – 3xy2) + i(3x2y – y3) = u + iv
On equating real and imaginary parts, we obtain
u = x3 – 3xy2, v = 3x2y – y3
Question 14:
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)
z = 3x + 5xi – 3yi – 5yi2 = 3x + 5xi – 3yi + 5y = (3x + 5y) + i(5x – 3y)
∴ (3x + 5y) – i(5x – 3y) = −6 – 24i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we obtain
3x + 5y = −6 ….(i)
5x – 3y = 24 ….(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 5 and then adding them, we obtain 9x + 15y = −18
Putting the value of x in equation (i), we obtain
3(3) + 5y = −6
⇒ 5y = −6 – 9 = −15
⇒ y = −3
Thus, the values of x and y are 3 and −3 respectively.

Question 5:
Convert the following in the polar form :
Answer
Let r cos θ = −1 and r sin θ = 1
On squaring and adding, we obtain
r2(cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 1 + 1
⇒ r2(cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 1 + 1
⇒ r2(cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 2
⇒ r2 = 2 [cos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1]
⇒ r = √2 [Conventionally, r > 0]
∴ √2 cos θ = −1 and √2 sin θ = 1
Let r cos θ = −1 and r sin θ = 1
On squaring and adding, we obtain
r2(cos2 θ + sin2 θ)=1 + 1
⇒ r2(cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 2
⇒ r2 = 2 [cos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1]
⇒ r = √2 [Conventionally, r > 0]
∴ √2 cos θ =−1 and √2 sin θ = 1
This is the required polar form.
