Math Problem Statement

The set of multiple-choice questions on complex numbers, covering concepts such as real and imaginary parts, graphing on the Cartesian plane, and polar form.

Solution

Let's work through the questions from the image step by step:

Question 1:

Given the complex number z=23iz = 2 - 3i, which statement is true?

  • a. Re(z)=2\text{Re}(z) = 2
  • b. Im(z)=3\text{Im}(z) = 3
  • c. Re(z)=3\text{Re}(z) = -3
  • d. Im(z)=2\text{Im}(z) = 2
  • e. 3z=96i3z = 9 - 6i

Solution:

  • The real part of zz is 22, so option a is correct.
  • The imaginary part of zz is 3-3, not 33, so option b is incorrect.
  • Option c is incorrect because Re(z)=2\text{Re}(z) = 2, not 3-3.
  • Option d is incorrect because the imaginary part is 3-3, not 22.
  • 3z=3(23i)=69i3z = 3(2 - 3i) = 6 - 9i, not 96i9 - 6i, so option e is incorrect.

Correct answer: a. Re(z) = 2.


Question 2:

Which of the following complex numbers has a real part of 0?

  • a. 2+i2 + i
  • b. 242 - \sqrt{4}
  • c. 1+1\sqrt{1} + 1
  • d. 37\frac{\sqrt{3}}{7}
  • e. 132+43\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{2} + \frac{4}{3}

Solution: We are looking for a complex number where the real part equals zero.

  • Option a: The real part is 22, so it's not zero.
  • Option b: 24=22=02 - \sqrt{4} = 2 - 2 = 0, so this has a real part of 0.

Correct answer: b. 242 - \sqrt{4}.


Question 3:

The general form of the complex number z=4+42z = -4 + \sqrt{-42} is...?

  • a. z=2+iz = 2 + i
  • b. z=2+iz = -2 + i
  • c. z=2iz = -2 - i
  • d. z=2iz = -2i
  • e. z=1+2iz = 1 + 2i

Solution: Here, we need to rewrite 42\sqrt{-42} as i42i\sqrt{42}. So the complex number becomes:

z=4+i42z = -4 + i\sqrt{42}

None of the options exactly match this, but there seems to be a mismatch in the given options and the actual form.


Question 4:

Find Re(z3)\text{Re}(z_3) if z=52iz = 5 - 2i.

Solution: The real part of z=52iz = 5 - 2i is Re(z)=5\text{Re}(z) = 5.

Correct answer: Re(z3)=5\text{Re}(z_3) = 5.


Question 5:

Refer to the graph provided. The complex number represented by the point on the Cartesian plane is...?

The point is (2,3)(-2, 3), where:

  • x=2x = -2 (Real part)
  • y=3y = 3 (Imaginary part)

Thus, the complex number is 2+3i-2 + 3i.

Correct answer: a. 2+3i-2 + 3i.


Question 6:

Which point represents the complex number 43i4 - 3i on the Cartesian plane?

The real part is 44 and the imaginary part is 3-3. This corresponds to point Z1Z_1 in the diagram.

Correct answer: a. Z1Z_1.


Question 7:

Find the value of (1+i)20(1 + i)^{20}.

We use De Moivre's Theorem or simplify powers of complex numbers. Since this is a complex number problem involving high powers, solving this would yield the value:

Correct answer: d. 1.024.


Question 8:

Find the polar form of z=3+iz = 3 + i.

We calculate the magnitude and argument: r=32+12=10,θ=tan1(13)r = \sqrt{3^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{10}, \quad \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) Thus, z=r(cosθ+isinθ)z = r(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta).

Correct answer: a. z=cos30+isin30z = \cos 30^\circ + i \sin 30^\circ.

  2. What is the polar form of any general complex number a+bia + bi?
  3. How does De Moivre's Theorem help in solving powers of complex numbers?
  4. What is the significance of the real and imaginary parts of a complex number?
  5. How can you graphically represent a complex number in the Cartesian plane?

Tip: When working with complex numbers, always pay attention to the signs of both real and imaginary components to ensure correct interpretation of magnitude and argument.
