Question

Express the following in the form of a + ib, a, b ∈ R, i = `sqrt(-1)`. State the values  of a and b: `("i"(4 + 3"i"))/((1 - "i"))`

Sum

Solution

`("i"(4 + 3"i"))/(1 - "i") = (4"i" + 3"i"^2)/(1 - "i")`

= `(-3 + 4"i")/(1 - "i")`        ...[∵ i2 = – 1]

= `((-3  + 4"i")(1 + "i"))/((1 - "i")(1 + "i")`

= `(-3 - 3"i" + 4"i" + 4"i"^2)/(1 - "i"^2)`

= `(-3 + "i" + 4(-1))/(1 - (-1)`    ...[∵ i2 = – 1]

= `(-7 + "i")/2`

∴ `("i"(4 + 3"i"))/(1 - "i") = (-7)/2 + 1/2 "i"`

∴ a = `(-7)/2 and "b" = 1/2`.
