Quadratic Equation:-

Question. Find all non-zero complex numbers \( z \) satisfying \( \bar{z} = iz^2 \)
Answer: Let \( z = x + iy \)
We have, \( \bar{z} = iz^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x - iy = i(x + iy)^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x - iy = i(x^2 - y^2 + 2ixy) \)
\( \Rightarrow x - iy = ix^2 - iy^2 - 2xy \)
\( \Rightarrow x - iy = -2xy + i(x^2 - y^2) \)

Equating real & imaginary parts:
\( \Rightarrow x = -2xy \) and \( -y = x^2 - y^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x + 2xy = 0 \) and \( x^2 - y^2 + y = 0 \)

Consider \( x + 2xy = 0 \):
\( \Rightarrow x(1 + 2y) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x = 0 \) or \( y = -\frac{1}{2} \)

Case 1: When \( x = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - y^2 + y = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow -y^2 + y = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow y(-y + 1) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow y = 0 \) or \( y = 1 \)
\( \therefore x = 0, y = 0 \) and \( x = 0, y = 1 \)
\( \Rightarrow z = 0 + 0i \) and \( z = 0 + 1i \)
Since we need non-zero complex numbers, \( z = 0 + 0i \) is rejected.
\( \therefore z = i \)

Case 2: When \( y = -\frac{1}{2} \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - y^2 + y = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{3}{4} \)
\( \Rightarrow x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \)
\( \therefore x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, y = -\frac{1}{2} \) and \( x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, y = -\frac{1}{2} \)
\( \Rightarrow z = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}i \) and \( z = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}i \)

\( \therefore \) Required non-zero complex numbers are \( i \), \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}i \) and \( -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}i \) ans.

 

Question. Solve the equation \( z^2 + |z| = 0 \).
Answer: Let \( z = x + iy \)
We have, \( z^2 + |z| = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow (x + iy)^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - y^2 + 2ixy + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow (x^2 - y^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}) + i(2xy) = 0 + 0i \)

Equating real & imaginary parts:
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - y^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 0 \) and \( 2xy = 0 \)

Consider \( 2xy = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 \) or \( y = 0 \)

Case 1: When \( x = 0 \)
Then \( x^2 - y^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow -y^2 + \sqrt{y^2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow -y^2 + |y| = 0 \)

If \( y > 0 \), then \( |y| = y \):
\( \Rightarrow -y^2 + y = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow y(-y + 1) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow y = 0 \) or \( y = 1 \)

If \( y < 0 \), then \( |y| = -y \):
\( \Rightarrow -y^2 - y = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow -y(y + 1) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow y = 0 \) or \( y = -1 \)
\( \therefore x = 0, y = 0 \) or \( x = 0, y = -1 \) or \( x = 0, y = 1 \) ............ (ii)

Case 2: When \( y = 0 \)
Then \( x^2 - y^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 + \sqrt{x^2} = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 + |x| = 0 \)

If \( x > 0 \), then \( |x| = x \):
\( \Rightarrow x^2 + x = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x(x + 1) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x = 0 \) or \( x = -1 \) (rejected since \( x > 0 \))
\( \therefore x = 0, y = 0 \) ............ (iii)

If \( x < 0 \), then \( |x| = -x \):
\( \Rightarrow x^2 - x = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x(x - 1) = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x = 0 \) or \( x = 1 \) (rejected since \( x < 0 \))
\( \therefore x = 0, y = 0 \) ............ (iv)

From (ii), (iii) & (iv), the solutions are:
\( z = 0 + 0i \), \( z = 0 + i \), and \( z = 0 - i \) ans.

 

Question. If \( |z_1| = |z_2| = |z_3| = \dots = |z_n| = 1 \), show that \( |z_1 + z_2 + z_3 + \dots + z_n| = \left|\frac{1}{z_1} + \frac{1}{z_2} + \frac{1}{z_3} + \dots + \frac{1}{z_n}\right| \)
Answer: We have, \( |z_1 + z_2 + z_3 + \dots + z_n| \)
\( = \left| \frac{z_1 \bar{z}_1}{\bar{z}_1} + \frac{z_2 \bar{z}_2}{\bar{z}_2} + \frac{z_3 \bar{z}_3}{\bar{z}_3} + \dots + \frac{z_n \bar{z}_n}{\bar{z}_n} \right| \)   [multiplying and dividing each term by its conjugate]
\( = \left| \frac{|z_1|^2}{\bar{z}_1} + \frac{|z_2|^2}{\bar{z}_2} + \frac{|z_3|^2}{\bar{z}_3} + \dots + \frac{|z_n|^2}{\bar{z}_n} \right| \)   \( [ \because z\bar{z} = |z|^2 ] \)
\( = \left| \frac{1}{\bar{z}_1} + \frac{1}{\bar{z}_2} + \frac{1}{\bar{z}_3} + \dots + \frac{1}{\bar{z}_n} \right| \)   \( [ \because |z_1| = |z_2| = \dots = |z_n| = 1 ] \)
\( = \left| \overline{ \left( \frac{1}{z_1} + \frac{1}{z_2} + \frac{1}{z_3} + \dots + \frac{1}{z_n} \right) } \right| \)   \( [ \because \bar{z}_1 + \bar{z}_2 = \overline{z_1 + z_2} ] \)
\( = \left| \frac{1}{z_1} + \frac{1}{z_2} + \frac{1}{z_3} + \dots + \frac{1}{z_n} \right| \)   \( [ \because |\bar{z}| = |z| ] \)

 

Question. If \( |z^2 - 1| = |z|^2 + 1 \), show that \( z \) lies on imaginary axis.
Answer: Let \( z = x + iy \)
Then, \( |z^2 - 1| = |z|^2 + 1 \)
\( \Rightarrow |(x + iy)^2 - 1| = \left(\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\right)^2 + 1 \)
\( \Rightarrow |(x^2 - y^2 - 1) + 2ixy| = (x^2 + y^2) + 1 \)
\( \Rightarrow \sqrt{(x^2 - y^2 - 1)^2 + 4x^2y^2} = x^2 + y^2 + 1 \)

Squaring both sides:
\( \Rightarrow (x^2 - y^2 - 1)^2 + 4x^2y^2 = (x^2 + y^2 + 1)^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^4 + y^4 + 1 - 2x^2y^2 + 2y^2 - 2x^2 + 4x^2y^2 = x^4 + y^4 + 1 + 2x^2y^2 + 2y^2 + 2x^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^4 + y^4 + 1 + 2x^2y^2 + 2y^2 - 2x^2 = x^4 + y^4 + 1 + 2x^2y^2 + 2y^2 + 2x^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow -2x^2 = 2x^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow 4x^2 = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 \)
\( \therefore z = 0 + iy \)

Clearly, \( z \) lies on the \( y \)-axis (imaginary axis).

 

Question. If the imaginary part of \( \frac{2z+1}{iz+1} \) is \( -2 \), then show that the locus of the point representing \( z \) in the argand plane is a straight line.
Answer: Let \( z = x + iy \)
Here, we have to prove that the equation containing \( x \) and \( y \) is linear (i.e., a straight line).
Now, \( \frac{2z+1}{iz+1} = \frac{2(x+iy)+1}{i(x+iy)+1} = \frac{(2x+1)+i2y}{(1-y)+ix} \)

Rationalizing the denominator:
\( = \frac{(2x + 1) + i2y}{(1 - y) + ix} \times \frac{(1 - y) - ix}{(1 - y) - ix} \)
\( = \frac{(2x + 1)(1 - y) - ix(2x + 1) + i2y(1 - y) - i^2 2xy}{(1 - y)^2 - i^2 x^2} \)
\( = \frac{2x - 2xy + 1 - y - i(2x^2 + x) + i(2y - 2y^2) + 2xy}{1 + y^2 - 2y + x^2} \)
\( = \frac{(2x + 1 - y) + i(2y - 2y^2 - 2x^2 - x)}{x^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1} \)
\( = \frac{2x + 1 - y}{x^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1} + i \frac{2y - 2y^2 - 2x^2 - x}{x^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1} \br />
Here, \( \operatorname{Im}\left(\frac{2z+1}{iz+1}\right) = \frac{2y - 2y^2 - 2x^2 - x}{x^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1} \)

Given, \( \operatorname{Im}\left(\frac{2z+1}{iz+1}\right) = -2 \):
\( \Rightarrow \frac{2y - 2y^2 - 2x^2 - x}{x^2 + y^2 - 2y + 1} = -2 \)
\( \Rightarrow 2y - 2y^2 - 2x^2 - x = -2x^2 - 2y^2 + 4y - 2 \)
\( \Rightarrow 2y - x = 4y - 2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x + 2y - 2 = 0 \)

Clearly, this represents the equation of a straight line.

 

Question. Let \( z_1 \) & \( z_2 \) be two complex numbers such that \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \), then show that \( \arg(z_1) - \arg(z_2) = 0 \).
Answer: Let \( z_1 = r_1(\cos \theta_1 + i \sin \theta_1) \) and \( z_2 = r_2(\cos \theta_2 + i \sin \theta_2) \).
Here, \( |z_1| = r_1 \), \( \arg(z_1) = \theta_1 \) and \( |z_2| = r_2 \), \( \arg(z_2) = \theta_2 \).

We have, \( |z_1 + z_2| = |z_1| + |z_2| \)
\( \Rightarrow |r_1(\cos \theta_1 + i \sin \theta_1) + r_2(\cos \theta_2 + i \sin \theta_2)| = r_1 + r_2 \)
\( \Rightarrow |(r_1 \cos \theta_1 + r_2 \cos \theta_2) + i(r_1 \sin \theta_1 + r_2 \sin \theta_2)| = r_1 + r_2 \)
\( \Rightarrow \sqrt{(r_1 \cos \theta_1 + r_2 \cos \theta_2)^2 + (r_1 \sin \theta_1 + r_2 \sin \theta_2)^2} = r_1 + r_2 \)

Squaring both sides:
\( \Rightarrow r_1^2 \cos^2 \theta_1 + r_2^2 \cos^2 \theta_2 + 2 r_1 r_2 \cos \theta_1 \cos \theta_2 + r_1^2 \sin^2 \theta_1 + r_2^2 \sin^2 \theta_2 + 2 r_1 r_2 \sin \theta_1 \sin \theta_2 = (r_1 + r_2)^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow r_1^2(\cos^2 \theta_1 + \sin^2 \theta_1) + r_2^2(\cos^2 \theta_2 + \sin^2 \theta_2) + 2 r_1 r_2(\cos \theta_1 \cos \theta_2 + \sin \theta_1 \sin \theta_2) = r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2 r_1 r_2 \)
\( \Rightarrow r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2 r_1 r_2 \cos(\theta_1 - \theta_2) = r_1^2 + r_2^2 + 2 r_1 r_2 \)
\( \Rightarrow \cos(\theta_1 - \theta_2) = 1 \)
\( \Rightarrow \theta_1 - \theta_2 = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow \arg(z_1) - \arg(z_2) = 0 \)

 

Question. What does this equation \( |z + 1 - i| = |z - 1 + i| \) represents.
Answer: Let \( z = x + iy \)
Then, \( |z + 1 - i| = |z - 1 + i| \)
\( \Rightarrow |x + iy + 1 - i| = |x + iy - 1 + i| \)
\( \Rightarrow |(x + 1) + i(y - 1)| = |(x - 1) + i(y + 1)| \)
\( \Rightarrow \sqrt{(x + 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2} \)
\( \Rightarrow (x + 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = (x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2 \)
\( \Rightarrow x^2 + 1 + 2x + y^2 + 1 - 2y = x^2 + 1 - 2x + y^2 + 1 + 2y \)

Squaring and simplifying:
\( \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 + 2x - 2y + 2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2y - 2x + 2 \)
\( \Rightarrow 4x - 4y = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow x - y = 0 \)

Clearly, this represents the equation of a straight line.

 

Question. Evaluate: \( 1 + i^2 + i^4 + i^6 + \dots + i^{20} \)
Answer: We have, \( 1 + i^2 + i^4 + i^6 + \dots + i^{20} \)
\( = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + \dots + 1 \)
\( = 1 \) ans.

 

Question. Find the value of \( \frac{i^{4n+1} - i^{4n-1}}{2} \).
Answer: \( \Rightarrow \frac{i^{4n} \cdot i - i^{4n} \cdot i^{-1}}{2} \)
\( = \frac{1(i) - 1\left(\frac{1}{i}\right)}{2} \qquad [ \because i^{4n} = (i^4)^n = (1)^n = 1 ] \)
\( = \frac{i - (-i)}{2} \qquad \left[ \because \frac{1}{i} = \frac{1}{i} \times \frac{i}{i} = -i \right] \)
\( = \frac{2i}{2} = i \) ans.

 

Question. What is the smallest positive integer \( n \) for which \( (1 + i)^{2n} = (1 - i)^{2n} \).
Answer: We have, \( (1 + i)^{2n} = (1 - i)^{2n} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{(1 + i)^{2n}}{(1 - i)^{2n}} = 1 \)
\( \Rightarrow \left(\frac{1 + i}{1 - i}\right)^{2n} = 1 \)
Rationalizing the base:
\( \frac{1+i}{1-i} \times \frac{1+i}{1+i} = \frac{(1+i)^2}{1 - i^2} = \frac{1 + i^2 + 2i}{2} = \frac{2i}{2} = i \)
Thus, the equation becomes:
\( \Rightarrow (i)^{2n} = 1 \)
The smallest positive integer \( m \) for which \( i^m = 1 \) is \( 4 \).
Therefore:
\( 2n = 4 \Rightarrow n = 2 \).
