Tutorial 1 (Chapter 1)
IIT Dharwad, Autumn Semester 2025
Notation: D = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}.
(1) Prove Parallelogram law |z1 + z2 |2 + |z1 − z2 |2 = 2(|z1 |2 + |z2 |2 ).
(2) Prove the following: √
(a) Prove that |z| ≤ |Re (z)| + |Im(z)| ≤ 2 |z|.
z1 − z2
(b) If either |z1 | = 1 or |z2 | = 1, but not both, then prove that = 1.
1 − z1 z2
What exception must be made for the validity of the above equality when

(3) (a) Is it true that Arg(z1 z2 ) = Arg z1 +Arg z2 ?
(b) Show that arg zz12 = arg z1 − arg z2 .

(c) Use the above result to find the argument of √
1 + 3i.
(4) Prove that the usual formula solves the quadratic equation az2 + bz + c =
0, a ̸= 0 when a, b, c are complex numbers. Specifically by completing the
square√method derive that the roots of the above quadratic equations are z =
−b ± b2 − 4ac
.

(17) For each of the following subsets of C, plot them in the complex plane and de-
termine whether it is open, closed or neither. Justify your answers. Determine

S1 = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1 and Im (z) ̸= 0} ∪ {z ∈ C : |z| > 1 and Im (z) = 0} .
(19) Let S = {|z| < 1} ∪ {|z − 2| < 1}. Is S connected?
(20) Show that if zn → z0 , then |zn | → |z0 |. Is the converse true?
(21) Prove that:
(a) Every interior point is a limit point, but every limit point need not be an
interior point.
(b) Isolated points are never interior points and interior points are never iso-
lated.
(c) Every boundary point of a set S is an isolated point or a limit point.
(d) Every limit point need not be a boundary point.
