Mathematics Question on Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations
In Argand's plane, the point corresponding to (3+i)(1−i3)(1+i) lies in
A
quadrant I
B
quadrant II
C
quadrant III
D
quadrant IV
Answer
quadrant IV
Explanation
Solution
Given,
(3+i)(1−i3)(1+i)=(3+1)(1−i3+i+3)(3−i)
(∵i2=−1)
=41⋅(1+3)+i(1−3)⋅(3−i)
=41⋅3(1+3)+i(1−3)3−(1+3)i+(1−3)
\left.=\frac{1}{4} \cdot\\{\sqrt{3}+ 3+1-\sqrt{3})+(\sqrt{3}-3-1-\sqrt{3}) i\right\\}
=41⋅4−4i=1−i
The point (1−i) in Arg and plane is (1,−1) which lies in IVth quadrant
