7. A square has its center at the origin of the Gaussian plane, one vertex is the image of the complex number a=4 + 3i.

  • a)    Which complex numbers represent the remaining vertices
  • b)    Determine the area of this square

Solution:

a) The required complex numbers must satisfy these conditions:

  1. Their absolute value is equal to a|a|

  2. Each lies in a different quadrant of the Gaussian plane

a=42+32=25=5|a| = \sqrt{4^{2} + 3^{2}} = \sqrt{25} = 5

The complex numbers that satisfy the required conditions are:
a=4+3i, b=3+4i, c=43i, d=34ia = 4 + 3i,\; b = -3 + 4i,\; c = -4 - 3i,\; d = 3 - 4i


b) Area of the square

S=u22=2a22=(25)22=1022=1002=50S = \frac{u^{2}}{2} = \frac{2|a|^{2}}{2} = \frac{(2 \cdot 5)^{2}}{2} = \frac{10^{2}}{2} = \frac{100}{2} = 50S=50 j2S = 50\,j^{2

8.Calculate the length of the median tc of triangle ΔABC, if its vertices A,B,C are the images of the complex numbers a = –1 –i , b = –5 + 7i , c = 9 + 8i.

Solution:

The length of the median tc is the length of the segment CS, where S is the midpoint of segment AB

The median tc has length 13 u.


9.A regular hexagon ABCDEF has center S at the origin of the Gaussian plane and vertex A at the image of the complex unit on the real axis. Determine the complex numbers whose images are at the other vertices of the hexagon.

Solution:

Vertex A : a = 1

Vertex D : d = –1

The other vertices lie in individual quadrants of the Gaussian plane.

Triangle Δ SAB is equilateral SA = SB = AB = 1
