  7. $-8i(2-2i)$

    Solution: $-8i(2-2i)$

    $\Rightarrow -8i(2-2i)=-8i(2)-8i(-2i)=-16i+16i^2$

  10. $(-5-3i)^2$

    Solution: $(-5-3i)^2$

    $\Rightarrow (-5-3i)^2=(-5-3i)(-5-3i)$

    $\Rightarrow (-5-3i)(-5-3i)=(-5)(-5)+(-5)(-3i)+(-3i)(-5)+(-3i)(-3i)$

    $=25+15i+15i+9i^2$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute that into the expression:

    $\Rightarrow 25+15i+15i+9(-1)=25+30i-9$

    Now, combine the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow (25-9)+30i=16+30i$

  11. $(1+\sqrt{2}i)(1-\sqrt{3}i)$

    Solution: $(1+\sqrt{2}i)(1-\sqrt{3}i)$

    $\Rightarrow (1+\sqrt{2}i)(1-\sqrt{3}i)=1(1)+1(-\sqrt{3}i)+\sqrt{2}i(1)+\sqrt{2}i(-\sqrt{3}i)$

    $=1-\sqrt{3}i+\sqrt{2}i-\sqrt{6}i^2$

    $\Rightarrow 1-\sqrt{3}i+\sqrt{2}i-\sqrt{6}(-1)=1-\sqrt{3}i+\sqrt{2}i+\sqrt{6}$

    Now, combine the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow (1+\sqrt{6})+(-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2})i=(1+\sqrt{6})+(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3})i$

    Solution: $i^5+21i$

    $\Rightarrow i^5+21i=i^4\cdot i+21i=(i^2)^2\cdot i+21i=(-1)^2\cdot i+21i$

    $=1\cdot i+21i=i+21i=22i$; [$\because\ i^2=-1$]

Q5. Divide and simplify in the form of $a+bi$.
Verified
  1. $\dfrac{3}{4-i}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{3}{4-i}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $4-i$ is $4+i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4-i}=\dfrac{3}{4-i}\times\dfrac{4+i}{4+i}=\dfrac{3(4+i)}{(4-i)(4+i)}=\dfrac{12+3i}{(4)^2-i^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute this into the denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{12+3i}{16-(-1)}=\dfrac{12+3i}{16+1}=\dfrac{12+3i}{17}$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{12+3i}{17}=\dfrac{12}{17}+\dfrac{3}{17}i$

  2. $\dfrac{3i}{6+5i}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{3i}{6+5i}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $6+5i$ is $6-5i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{3i}{6+5i}=\dfrac{3i}{6+5i}\times\dfrac{6-5i}{6-5i}=\dfrac{3i(6-5i)}{(6+5i)(6-5i)}$

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{3i(6-5i)}{(6+5i)(6-5i)}=\dfrac{18i-15i^2}{(6)^2-25i^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute this into the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{18i-15(-1)}{36-25(-1)}=\dfrac{18i+15}{36+25}=\dfrac{15+18i}{61}$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{15+18i}{61}=\dfrac{15}{61}+\dfrac{18}{61}i$

  3. $\dfrac{3-i\sqrt{5}}{3+i\sqrt{5}}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{3-i\sqrt{5}}{3+i\sqrt{5}}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $3+i\sqrt{5}$ is $3-i\sqrt{5}$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{3-i\sqrt{5}}{3+i\sqrt{5}}=\dfrac{3-i\sqrt{5}}{3+i\sqrt{5}}\times\dfrac{3-i\sqrt{5}}{3-i\sqrt{5}}=\dfrac{(3-i\sqrt{5})^2}{(3+i\sqrt{5})(3-i\sqrt{5})}$

    Now, multiply out the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{(3-i\sqrt{5})^2}{(3+i\sqrt{5})(3-i\sqrt{5})}=\dfrac{(3)^2-2\times3\times i\sqrt{5}+(i\sqrt{5})^2}{(3)^2-(i\sqrt{5})^2}$

    $=\dfrac{9-6i\sqrt{5}+5i^2}{9-(-5i^2)}=\dfrac{9-6i\sqrt{5}-5}{9-(-5i^2)}=\dfrac{4-6i\sqrt{5}}{14}$; [$\because\ i^2=-1$]

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{4-6i\sqrt{5}}{14}=\dfrac{4}{14}-\dfrac{6\sqrt{5}}{14}i=\dfrac{2}{7}-\dfrac{3\sqrt{5}}{7}i$

  4. $\dfrac{2+7i}{5i}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{2+7i}{5i}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $5i$ is $-5i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+7i}{5i}=\dfrac{2+7i}{5i}\times\dfrac{-5i}{-5i}=\dfrac{(2+7i)(-5i)}{(5i)(-5i)}$

    Now, multiply out the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{(2+7i)(-5i)}{(5i)(-5i)}=\dfrac{-10i-35i^2}{-25i^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute this into the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{-10i-35(-1)}{-25(-1)}=\dfrac{-10i+35}{25}=\dfrac{35-10i}{25}$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{35-10i}{25}=\dfrac{35}{25}-\dfrac{10}{25}i=\dfrac{7}{5}-\dfrac{2}{5}i$

  5. $\dfrac{4+5i}{4-5i}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{4+5i}{4-5i}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $4-5i$ is $4+5i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{4+5i}{4-5i}=\dfrac{4+5i}{4-5i}\times\dfrac{4+5i}{4+5i}=\dfrac{(4+5i)^2}{(4-5i)(4+5i)}$

    Now, multiply out the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{(4+5i)^2}{(4-5i)(4+5i)}=\dfrac{(4)^2+40i+25i^2}{(4)^2-25i^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute this into the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{16+40i+25(-1)}{16-25(-1)}=\dfrac{16+40i-25}{16+25}=\dfrac{-9+40i}{41}$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{-9+40i}{41}=-\dfrac{9}{41}+\dfrac{40}{41}i$

  6. $\dfrac{3+2i}{2+i}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{3+2i}{2+i}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $2+i$ is $2-i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2i}{2+i}=\dfrac{3+2i}{2+i}\times\dfrac{2-i}{2-i}=\dfrac{(3+2i)(2-i)}{(2+i)(2-i)}$

    Now, multiply out the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{(3+2i)(2-i)}{(2+i)(2-i)}=\dfrac{6-3i+4i-2i^2}{(2)^2-i^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute this into the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{6-3i+4i-2(-1)}{4-(-1)}=\dfrac{6+i+2}{4+1}=\dfrac{8+i}{5}$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{8+i}{5}=\dfrac{8}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}i$

  7. $\dfrac{5+i}{1+2i}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{5+i}{1+2i}$

    We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of $1+2i$ is $1-2i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{5+i}{1+2i}=\dfrac{5+i}{1+2i}\times\dfrac{1-2i}{1-2i}=\dfrac{(5+i)(1-2i)}{(1+2i)(1-2i)}$

    Now, multiply out the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{(5+i)(1-2i)}{(1+2i)(1-2i)}=\dfrac{5-10i+i-2i^2}{(1)^2-4i^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we can substitute this into the numerator and denominator:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{5-9i-2(-1)}{1-4(-1)}=\dfrac{5-9i+2}{1+4}=\dfrac{7-9i}{5}$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{7-9i}{5}=\dfrac{7}{5}-\dfrac{9}{5}i$

  8. $\dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}$

    We multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is $a+ib$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{a+ib}{a-ib}=\dfrac{(a+ib)(a+ib)}{(a-ib)(a+ib)}$

    $=\dfrac{a^2+2abi+(ib)^2}{a^2-(ib)^2}=\dfrac{a^2+2abi+i^2b^2}{a^2-i^2b^2}$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we have:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{a^2+2abi-b^2}{a^2+b^2}=\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)+2abi}{a^2+b^2}$

Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

$=\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{a^2+b^2}+\dfrac{2ab}{a^2+b^2}i$

  1. $\dfrac{1+i}{(1-i)^2}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{1+i}{(1-i)^2}\quad \ldots\ (1)$

    First, we expand the denominator:

    $\Rightarrow (1-i)^2=(1-i)(1-i)=1-i-i+i^2=1-2i+i^2$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we have:

    $\Rightarrow (1-i)^2=1-2i-1=-2i$

    So the expression (1) becomes: $\dfrac{1+i}{-2i}$

    Now, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is:

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{1+i}{-2i}=\dfrac{(1+i)(i)}{(-2i)(i)}=\dfrac{i+i^2}{-2i^2}\quad\Rightarrow\quad\dfrac{i-1}{-2(-1)}=\dfrac{i-1}{2}=\dfrac{-1+i}{2}\ ;\quad [\because\ i^2=-1]$

    Finally, separate the real and imaginary parts:

    $=-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}i$

  2. $\dfrac{(2+2i)^2}{(1+i)^2}$

    Solution: $\dfrac{(2+2i)^2}{(1+i)^2}\quad \ldots\ (1)$

    First, we expand the numerator and the denominator separately:

    $\Rightarrow (2+2i)^2=(2+2i)(2+2i)=4+4i+4i+4i^2=4+8i+4i^2$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we have:

    $\Rightarrow (2+2i)^2=4+8i-4=8i$

    $\Rightarrow (1+i)^2=(1+i)(1+i)=1+i+i+i^2=1+2i+i^2$

    Since $i^2=-1$, we have:

    $\Rightarrow (1+i)^2=1+2i-1=2i$

    So the expression (1) becomes: $\dfrac{8i}{2i}$

    Now, we can simplify the fraction by canceling the common factor $2i$.

    $\Rightarrow \dfrac{8i}{2i}=\dfrac{8}{2}=4$

    Thus, the simplified form is $4+0i$.
