 Find the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of -2 + 5i 
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
-2 + 5i
multiplicative inverse of -2 + 5i is
1/(-2+5i)
= 1/(-2+5i) * ((-2-5i)/(-2-5i))
= -2-5i/(-2)^2 -(5i)^2
= -2-5i/4-(-25)
= -2-5i/4+25
= -2-5i/29
= -2/29 -5i/29

Express the following in standard form : 
  • a)
    3+3i
  • b)
    2 + 2i
  • c)
    1 + 2i
  • d)
    0 + 2i

Om Desai answered
z = a + ib
a = -1, b = -√3
(-1, -√3) lies in third quadrant.
Arg(z) = -π + tan-1(b/a)
= - π + tan-1(√3)
= - π + tan-1(tan π/3)
= - π + π/3
= -2π/3

Find the real numbers x and y such that : (x + iy)(3 + 2i) = 1 + i
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Iyer answered
(x + iy)(3 + 2i) = (1 + i)
x + iy = (1 + i)/(3 + 2i)
x + iy = [(1 + i) * (3 - 2i)] / [(3 + 2i)*(3 - 2i)]
x + iy = (3 + 3i - 2i + 2) / [(3)2 + (2)2]
x + iy = (5 + i)/[ 9 + 4]
= (5 + i) / 13
=> 13x + 13iy = 5+i
13x = 5         13y = 1
x = 5/13         y = 1/13

Find the real numbers x and y such that :
a)
b)

AC = z3 = z1 eiπ

AC = z1 - z3
BC = z2 - z4

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
(√3 + i)10 = a + ib
Z = √3 + i = rcosθ + i rsinθ
⇒ √3 = rcosθ   i = rsinθ
⇒ (√3)2 + (1)2 = r2cos2θ + r2sin2θ
⇒ 4 = r2
⇒ r = 2
tan = 1/√3    
⇒ tan π/6
Therefore, Z = √3 + i = 2(cos π/6 + i sin π/6)
(Z)10 = √3 + i = (2cos π/6 + 2i sin π/6)10
= 210 (cos π/6 + i sin π/6)10
210 (cos 10π/6 + i sin 10π/6)
= 210 (cos(2π - π/3) + i sin(2π - π/3))
= 210 (cos π/3 - i sin π/3)
= 210 (1/2 - i√3/2)
29(1 - i√3)
a = 29 = 512
b = - 29(√3) = -512√3

If z1 = 2 + i, z2 = 1 + 3i, then Re ( z1 - z2) =

    2 ι
  • d)
    2

To find Re(z1 - z2), we first need to subtract z2 from z1:

z1 - z2 = (2i) - (1 + 3i) = 1 - i

Now, to find the real part of this complex number, we simply take the real component, which is 1. Therefore, Re(z1 - z2) = 1.

If the roots of the equation kx2 – 3x -1= 0 are the reciprocal of the roots of the equation x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 then K =
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    -4
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    -3
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

KP Classes answered
∵ x2 + 3x – 4 = 0
or; x2 – 4x + x – 4 = 0
or; x(x – 4) + 1(x – 4) = 0
or; (x – 4)(x + 1) = 0
x = 4; -1
Eqn. having roots 1/2 & 1/−1 = 1/4 & – 1 is.
or x2 – (1/4 – 1) + 1/4(-1) = 0
or x2 + 3/4x – 1/4 = 0
Multiplying by 4 ; we get
4x2 + 3x -1 = 0
Comparing it with kx2 + 3x -1 = 0
We get K = 4
Tricks : Eqn. having roots the reciprocal of the roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0 is cx2 + bx +a = 0 i.e. 1st and last term interchanges.

Find the condition that one root is double the of ax2 + bx + c = 0
  • a)
    2b2 = 3ac
  • b)
    b2 = 3ac
  • c)
    2b2 = 9ac
  • d)
    None
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Condition for Roots
In the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, we seek the condition such that one root is double the other. Let's denote the roots as α and β, where α = 2β (one root is double the other).
Roots Relationship
Using Vieta's formulas, we know:
- Sum of the roots (α + β) = -b/a
- Product of the roots (αβ) = c/a
Given α = 2β, we can express the roots in terms of β:
- α + β = 2β + β = 3β
- αβ = 2β * β = 2β²
Substituting in Vieta's Formulas
Now substituting into Vieta's formulas:
1. Sum of roots:
- 3β = -b/a
2. Product of roots:
- 2β² = c/a
Finding Relationships
From the first equation:
- β = -b/(3a)
Now substituting this value of β into the second equation:
- 2(-b/(3a))² = c/a
This simplifies to:
- 2(b²/(9a²)) = c/a
Cross-multiplying gives us:
- 2b² = 9ac
Final Condition
Thus, the derived condition is:
- 2b² = 9ac
This means that the correct answer is option 'C'.
Conclusion
To summarize, the condition that ensures one root of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 is double the other is represented mathematically as 2b² = 9ac. This establishes a specific relationship between the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

KP Classes answered
∵ Roots are in A.R
Let roots are a – d; a; a + d
So, (a – d)+a + (a + d) = 15
or; 3a = 15
or; a = 5
And Product of roots
(a – d ). a . (a + d ) = 45
or (5 – d);5. (5 + d) = 45
or 25 – d2 = 9
or; d2 = 25 – 9 = 16
or; d = √16 = 4
Hence; roots are
a – d, a, a + d = 5 – 4; 5; 5 + 4
= 1; 5 ; 9.
The value of K
= Sum of product of two roots in a order
= (1 × 5) + (5 × 9) + (9 × 1)
= 5 + 45 + 9 = 59

Mahi Pillai answered
Sum of arithmetic series:

The given sequence is an arithmetic series with a common difference of 1. Let's denote the first term as 'a' and the number of terms as 'n'. The sum of an arithmetic series can be calculated using the formula:

Sn = (n/2)(2a + (n-1)d)

Where Sn is the sum of the series, a is the first term, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference.

Calculating the sum:

In this case, the first term 'a' is 1 and the common difference 'd' is also 1. So, the formula becomes:

Sn = (n/2)(2 + n - 1)

Simplifying further:

Sn = (n/2)(n + 1)

Now, let's substitute the given value of 'n' and calculate the sum:

S4n = (4n/2)(4n + 1)

S4n = 2n(4n + 1)

S4n = 8n^2 + 2n

Determining the sum's value:

To find the value of the sum, we need to substitute the value of 'n' into the equation. However, since the options are not expressed in terms of 'n', we can do some algebraic manipulation to simplify the expression further.

Let's factor out n from the equation:

S4n = n(8n + 2)

We can see that 'n' is a common factor in both terms. Since 'n' represents the number of terms, it is always a positive value. Therefore, the sum can only be zero when '8n + 2' equals zero.

Setting '8n + 2' equal to zero and solving for 'n':

8n + 2 = 0

8n = -2

n = -2/8

Since 'n' represents the number of terms, it cannot be a negative value. Therefore, there is no value of 'n' for which the sum is zero. Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - 0.

Conclusion:

The sum of the given arithmetic series is equal to zero.

Hansa Sharma answered
(1/2)(x2 - 2x) < (1/4) 
(1/2)(x2 - 2x) < (1/2)2
x2 − 2x > 2......(as after multiplicative inverse sign of inequality changes)
x2 − 2x − 2 > 0
x2  -  2x + 1 - 3  >
(x-1)2  - 3  > 0
(x-1)2  > 3 
So for the above to hold good both the expression must be positive or both must be negative. After finding the solution the range of the solution will be
either x > 3

A complex number is purely imaginary if the real term is zero, and imaginary term is non-zero. So, x being the real term is zero and y being the coefficient of the imaginary term is non-zero. So, (B) x=0, y≠0
