Class XI Complex Numbers Assignment
The smallest positive integer \(n\) for which \(\left(\frac{1+i}{1-i}\right)^n = 1\) is 8. This is derived by calculating \(\frac{1+i}{1-i} = i\), hence \(i^n = 1\). Since \(i\) cycles every four powers \((i^1=i, i^2=-1, i^3=-i, i^4=1)\), the smallest \(n\) where \(i^n = 1\) is 8 .
The complex number \(\frac{1+i}{1-i}\) simplifies to \(i\). Its polar form is \(e^{i\pi/2}\) as the magnitude is 1 and argument is \(\pi/2\). Multiplying by the complex conjugate, \(\frac{1+i}{1-i} \times \frac{1+i}{1+i} = i\) confirms this form .
The modulus of \(Z = -1 - 3i\) is computed as \(|Z| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{10}\). The argument is \(\tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-1}) = \tan^{-1}(3)\) adjusted by considering it is in the third quadrant .
To prove that \(z\) is real if \(\frac{z - 3i}{z + 3i}\) is real, note that the imaginary part must be zero. Let \(z = x + yi\); equating imaginary parts to zero yields \(6iy/(x^2 + y^2+9) = 0\), thus \(y=0\), confirming \(z\) is real .
Expressing complex numbers in polar form simplifies operations involving powers or roots due to Euler's formula \(e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta\). It reduces multiplication to adding angles and simplifies roots to dividing angles .
Expand and simplify \((1 + i)^8 = (\sqrt{2})^8 e^{i\cdot 2\cdot (\pi/4)} = 16\) and \((1 + \frac{1}{i}) = i(1-i)/(-1) = -1-i\). Thus \((-1-i)^8 = 16\), hence \((1+i)^8(1+\frac{1}{i})^8 = 256\).
The inequality \(\Re(z) = 0\) helps identify if a solution is purely imaginary. By assessing the real part's cancellation, one ensures the solution's imaginary nature without directly evaluating the full complex expression .
The expression \(a^2 + b^2\) can be rewritten using complex numbers as \((a + ib)(a - ib)\). This representation is obtained by multiplying and expanding to \(a^2 + b^2\) using the imaginary unit \(i\) properties, where \(i^2 = -1\).
The polar form of a complex number is represented by the expression \(r(\cos\theta + i\sin\theta)\), where \(r\) is the magnitude of the complex number and \(\theta\) is the argument .
The inequality \(|z_1 + z_2| \leq |z_1| + |z_2|\) follows from the triangle inequality in complex numbers, which states that the absolute value of the sum of two complex numbers is always less than or equal to the sum of their absolute values .
