f, g, h

Solution

To solve the questions in the highlighted section (f, g, h), let’s break them down step by step:


(f) 1i+i\frac{1}{i} + i

  1. Recall that 1i\frac{1}{i} can be simplified by multiplying numerator and denominator by i-i (the conjugate of ii): 1i=1(i)i(i)=i\frac{1}{i} = \frac{1 \cdot (-i)}{i \cdot (-i)} = -i

  2. Adding i+i-i + i: i+i=0-i + i = 0

Result for (f): 0\boxed{0}


(g) 26(23i)(2+3i)\frac{26}{(2 - 3i)(2 + 3i)}

  1. Simplify the denominator using the formula for the product of conjugates: (23i)(2+3i)=22(3i)2=4(9)=4+9=13(2 - 3i)(2 + 3i) = 2^2 - (3i)^2 = 4 - (-9) = 4 + 9 = 13

  2. The fraction becomes: 2613=2\frac{26}{13} = 2

Result for (g): 2\boxed{2}


(h) 7+i26i57i\sqrt{\frac{-7 + i}{2} - \frac{6 - i}{5 - 7i}}

  1. Simplify each term in the fraction:

    • First term: 7+i2\frac{-7 + i}{2} remains as is for now.
    • Second term: Simplify 6i57i\frac{6 - i}{5 - 7i} by multiplying numerator and denominator by the conjugate 5+7i5 + 7i: (6i)(5+7i)=30+42i5i7i2=30+37i+7=37+37i(6 - i)(5 + 7i) = 30 + 42i - 5i - 7i^2 = 30 + 37i + 7 = 37 + 37i (57i)(5+7i)=52(7i)2=25(49)=25+49=74(5 - 7i)(5 + 7i) = 5^2 - (7i)^2 = 25 - (-49) = 25 + 49 = 74 6i57i=37+37i74=3774+37i74=12+i2\frac{6 - i}{5 - 7i} = \frac{37 + 37i}{74} = \frac{37}{74} + \frac{37i}{74} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{i}{2}
  2. Substitute back into the expression: 7+i2(12+i2)=7+i1i2=82=4\frac{-7 + i}{2} - \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{i}{2}\right) = \frac{-7 + i - 1 - i}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4

  3. Taking the square root: 4=41=2i\sqrt{-4} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = 2i

Result for (h): 2i\boxed{2i}


Final Results:

  • (f): 00
  • (g): 22
  • (h): 2i2i
