Math Problem Statement
If π§1 = 3 + 2π and π§2 = 4 + 3π. Find (i) π§1π§2 (2 marks) (ii) π§1 π§2 (2 marks)
Solution
Given the complex numbers and , let's find:
(i) (2 marks)
To multiply two complex numbers, we use the distributive property:
Now, distribute the terms:
Simplifying each term:
Since :
Answer for (i):
(ii) (2 marks)
To divide two complex numbers, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
This simplifies to:
First, calculate the denominator using the difference of squares:
Next, calculate the numerator:
Substitute :
Now, divide by the denominator:
