Find z̄ × z (where z = a + ib):

  1. a² + b² = |z|²
  2. 2a
  3. a² - b²
  4. |z|
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. a² + b² = |z|²

We have z × z̄ = (a + ib)(a - ib). That is z × z̄ = a² - (ib)². That is z × z̄ = a² + b². So z × z̄ = |z|². **So conjugate times itself gives modulus squared.**

If z = 1 + i, then z² equals

  1. 2
  2. 1 + 2i
  3. −2i
  4. 2i
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 2i

We have (1+i)² = 1 + 2i + i². That is (1+i)² = 1 + 2i − 1. So (1+i)² = 2i.

The value of $i + i^2 + i^3 + i^4$ is:

  1. 0
  2. $1$
  3. $-1$
  4. $i$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 0

We have i + i² + i³ + i⁴ = i − 1 − i + 1. So i + i² + i³ + i⁴ = 0.
