Q21 of 66 Page 91

Solve the system of equations Re (z2) = 0, |z| = 2.

Given Re (z2) = 0, |z| = 2


Let z = x + iy.


Then


Given


x2 + y2 = 4 … (1)


Also, z2 = x2 + 2ixy – y2


= (x2 - y2) + 2ixy


Now, Re (z2) = 0


x2 – y2 = 0 … (2)


Solving (1) and (2), we get


x2 = y2 = 2


x = y = ±√2


z = x + iy


= ±√2 ± i√2


Hence, we have four complex numbers.
