Q1.

u + iv = (x + iy)3

If

then + =
(a) 4(x2 + y2) (b) 4(x2 - y2)
Sol.

(c) 3(x2 + y2)

(d) 3(x2 y2)

u + iv = (x + iy)3
= x3 + 3x2iy + 3xi2y2 + i3 y3
= (x3 3xy2) + i (3x2y y3)

equating real and imaginary parts

u = x3 - 3xy2,
v = 3x2 y y3
= (x2-3y2) + (3x2 y2)

thus, +

= 4x2 4y2
= 4(x2-y2)

Using again

= |z1 + z2|2 + |z1 z2|2 + 2 |z1 + z2| |z1 z2|

Taking square roots of both side, we get
