Math Problem Statement

الشكل المجاور يمثل عددان مركبان z1 و z2، وكان z1 * z2 عدد مركب، فإن z2 يساوي؟

Solution

The problem is about two complex numbers z1z_1 and z2z_2, as represented in the diagram. The relationship provided is z1z2z_1 \cdot z_2 as a product, and the goal is to determine the value of z2z_2 from the given options.


Key Observations from the Diagram:

  1. z1z_1 is represented at an angle θ\theta with respect to the positive real axis.
  2. z2z_2 lies at the same angle θ\theta but in the opposite direction.
    • This indicates a rotation by 9090^\circ or multiplication by ii in the complex plane.

Mathematical Concept:

  • In the complex plane:
    • Rotating a complex number zz by 9090^\circ counterclockwise corresponds to multiplying it by ii.
    • Rotating zz clockwise by 9090^\circ corresponds to multiplying it by i-i.

Given:

  • The product z1z2z_1 \cdot z_2 implies a specific relationship between z1z_1 and z2z_2.
  • Since z2z_2 is positioned at a 90-90^\circ rotation relative to z1z_1 (based on the diagram), we multiply z1z_1 by i-i.

Conclusion:

From the options:

  • z2=iz_2 = -i

Thus, the correct answer is (c) -i.


Follow-Up Questions:

  1. What is the significance of the ii unit in the complex plane?
  2. How does multiplying by ii or i-i affect the angle of a complex number?
  3. Can you explain how complex conjugates affect rotations in the complex plane?
  4. What is the geometric representation of the product of two complex numbers?
  5. How do you determine the modulus and argument of a complex number?

Tip:

When working with rotations in the complex plane, remember that multiplying by ii rotates a number counterclockwise by 9090^\circ, while i-i rotates it clockwise by 9090^\circ.
