Answer

To verify the statement, we will substitute the given values of aa and bb into the equation and check if both sides are equal.

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

The given equation is:

(2−j3)=(a+jb)(2-j3) = \sqrt{(a+jb)}

The proposed values are a=5a=5 and b=−12b=-12.

  1. Substitute the values of aa and bb into the right-hand side (RHS) of the equation.

    (a+jb)=(5+j(−12))=5−j12\sqrt{(a+jb)} = \sqrt{(5+j(-12))} = \sqrt{5-j12}
  2. To check if (2−j3)(2-j3) is equal to 5−j12\sqrt{5-j12}, we can square both sides of the original equation.

    If the equality holds, then squaring both sides should also result in an equality.
    So, we need to check if (2−j3)2=5−j12(2-j3)^2 = 5-j12.

  3. Calculate the square of the left-hand side (LHS), (2−j3)2(2-j3)^2.

    (2−j3)2=22−2(2)(j3)+(j3)2(2-j3)^2 = 2^2 - 2(2)(j3) + (j3)^2 =4−j12+j29= 4 - j12 + j^29

    Since j2=−1j^2 = -1:

    =4−j12−9= 4 - j12 - 9 =(4−9)−j12= (4-9) - j12 =−5−j12= -5 - j12
  4. Compare the result from Step 3 with the value of a+jba+jb.

    We found that (2−j3)2=−5−j12(2-j3)^2 = -5 - j12.
    The given a+jb=5−j12a+jb = 5 - j12.
    Comparing the two complex numbers:

    −5−j12≠5−j12-5 - j12 \neq 5 - j12

    The real parts are −5-5 and 5, which are not equal. Therefore, the complex numbers are not equal.

    ❌ Incorrect. The statement (2−j3)=(a+jb)(2-j3) = \sqrt{(a+jb)} is incorrect for a=5a=5 and b=−12b=-12, because (2−j3)2=−5−j12(2-j3)^2 = -5-j12, which is not equal to 5−j125-j12.
