Question
Question: If \(z=x+iy\), where \(x\) and \(y\) belongs to \(R\) and \[3x + \left( {3x - y} \right)i = 4 - 6i\]...
If z=x+iy, where x and y belongs to R and 3x+(3x−y)i=4−6i then z=
(A) (34)+i10
(B) (34)−i10
(C) −(34)+i10
(D) −(34)−i10
Solution
Here, z is the combination of both the real number and imaginary number which is a complex number. So, we will equate the real part and then the imaginary part. We will get the value of x when we equate the real part and then the value of y when we equate the imaginary part. After that, substituting the values of x and y in the given z= x+iy, we will get the final value of z.
Complete step by step solution:
Given that, 3x+(3x−y)i=4−6i
Here, we will equate the real part and imaginary parts.
First, equate the real parts, we get,
∴3x=4
⇒x=34
Next, equate the imaginary parts, we get,
∴3x−y=−6
Substituting the value of x in the above equation, we will get,
⇒3(34)−y=−6
On evaluating the above equation, we will get,
⇒4−y=−6
By using the transposition method, keep only unknown term on LHS, we get,
⇒−y=−6−4
⇒−y=−10
⇒y=10
We are given that,
∴z=x+iy where x and y belong to R (real).
Substituting the value of x and y in the above equation, we will get,
⇒z=34+i10
Rearranging this above equation, we will get,
⇒z=34+10i
Hence, for the given 3x+(3x−y)i=4−6i the value of z=34+10i.
Note: Complex numbers are the numbers that are expressed in the form of a+ib where a, b are real numbers and i is an imaginary number called iota. An imaginary number is usually represented by i or j, which is equal to −1 . Thus, the square of an imaginary number is equal to a negative number (i.e. i2=−1 ). The main application of these numbers is to represent periodic motions such as water waves, alternating current, light waves, etc.
