If Z = 7 + 3i and W = 1- i, find and simplify Z/W
Complex number is the sum of a real number and an imaginary number. These are the numbers that can be written in the form of a+ib, where a and b both are real numbers. It is denoted by z.
Here the value βaβ is called the real part which is denoted by Re(z), and βbβ is called the imaginary part Im(z). In complex numbers form a +bi, βiβ is an imaginary number called βiotaβ.
The value of i is (β-1) or we can write as i2 = -1.
For example:
3+11i is a complex number, where 3 is a real number (Re) and 11i is an imaginary number (Im).
2+12i is a complex number where 2 is a real number (Re) and 12i is an imaginary number (im)
The Combination of a real number and the imaginary number is called a Complex number.
Imaginary numbers
The numbers which are not real are termed Imaginary numbers. It gives a result in negative after squaring an imaginary number. Imaginary numbers are represented as Im().
Example: β-15, 9i, -21i are all imaginary numbers. Here βiβ is an imaginary number called βiotaβ
If Z = 7 + 3i and W = 1- i, find and simplify Z/W
Solution:
Given Z = 7 + 3i
W = 1- i.
To find Z/W, = (7 + 3i)/ (1- i)
simplifying it by multiplying the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of denominator
= {(7 + 3i )/ (1- i)} Γ {(1+i)/(1+i)}
= {(7+3i)(1+i)} / {(1-i)(1+i)}
= {7 +7i +3i + 3i2} / {1-(i)2}
= {7+10i -3} / {(1 +1)}
= (4+10i)/ 2
= 4/2 + 10/2i
= 2 + 5i

Question 3: Solve (2-4i) / (-5i)?
Solution:
Given : (2-4i) / (-5i)
here standard form of denominator is -5i = 0 β 5i
conjugate of denominator 0-5i = 0 +5i
Multiply with the conjugate
therefore, {(2-4i) / (0 -5i) } x { (0+5i )/( 0 +5i )}
= { (2-4i)(0+5i ) } / { 0 β (5i)2 }
= { 10i β 20i2 } / { 0 β (25(-1) ) }
= { 10i β 20 (-1) } / 25
= ( 10i + 20 ) / 25
= 20/ 25 + 10/25 i
= 4/5 + 2/5 i

Solution:
Given : 1/5+9i
Multiplying with the conjugate of denominators. i.e 5+9i = 5-9i
= {1/(5+9i) } Γ {( 5-9i)/(5 -9i) }
= (5-9i ) / { (5)2 β (9i)2 }
= (5-9i)/ { 25 β 81(-1)}
= (5-9i) / (25+81)
= (5-9i) / 106
= 5/106 β 9/106 i
