Here are the solutions for Question 3.
3A. Given Z1=2+4i and Z2=1+i.
i) Product Z1Z2
Step 1: Multiply the complex numbers.
Z1Z2=(2+4i)(1+i)
Step 2: Expand the product.
(2+4i)(1+i)=2(1)+2(i)+4i(1)+4i(i)
=2+2i+4i+4i2
Step 3: Simplify using i2=−1.
2+6i+4(−1)=2+6i−4=−2+6i
The product is −2+6i.
ii) Division Z1/Z2
Step 1: Write the division as a fraction.
Z2Z1=1+i2+4i
Step 2: Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 1−i.
1+i2+4i=(1+i)(1−i)(2+4i)(1−i)
Step 3: Expand the numerator and denominator.
Numerator: (2+4i)(1−i)=2(1)+2(−i)+4i(1)+4i(−i)=2−2i+4i−4i2=2+2i−4(−1)=2+2i+4=6+2i
Denominator: (1+i)(1−i)=12−i2=1−(−1)=1+1=2
Step 4: Combine the results and simplify.
26+2i=26+22i=3+i
The division is 3+i.
3B. Given Z1=1−2i and Z2=1+2i.
i) Product Z1Z2
Step 1: Multiply the complex numbers.
Z1Z2=(1−2i)(1+2i)
Step 2: Use the difference of squares formula (a−b)(a+b)=a2−b2.
12−(2i)2
Step 3: Simplify using i2=−1.
1−4i2=1−4(−1)=1+4=5
The product is 5.
ii) Division Z1/Z2
Step 1: Write the division as a fraction.
Z2Z1=1+2i1−2i
Step 2: Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 1−2i.
1+2i1−2i=(1+2i)(1−2i)(1−2i)(1−2i)
Step 3: Expand the numerator and denominator.
Numerator: (1−2i)(1−2i)=1(1)+1(−2i)−2i(1)−2i(−2i)=1−2i−2i+4i2=1−4i+4(−1)=1−4i−4=−3−4i
Denominator: (1+2i)(1−2i)=12−(2i)2=1−4i2=1−4(−1)=1+4=5
Step 4: Combine the results and simplify.
5−3−4i=−53−54i
The division is −53−54i.
