SUMMARY

This discussion addresses two complex math problems involving calculations and inequalities. The first problem involves simplifying the expression (\frac{-6+2i}{1-8i})^2, leading to the correct answer of \frac{-1632+2024i}{4225} after correcting the conjugate. The second problem requires determining the set of all z satisfying the inequalities |z-2i|<=|z+1+i| and |z|> 4, resulting in the intersection of the line y \geq -\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3} and the region defined by x^2+y^2 > 4.

PREREQUISITES
  • Complex number arithmetic
  • Understanding of inequalities in the complex plane

2 Questions:

(1.)Carry out the indicated calculation:

[tex](\frac{-6+2i}{1-8i})^2[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{36-24i+4i^2}{1-16i+64i^2}[/tex]

since [tex]i^2=-1[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{32-24i}{-63-16i}[\frac{-63+16i}{-63+16i}][/tex]

I carry out the math and get an answer of:

[tex]\frac{-2400+1512i}{4225}[/tex]

I must be doing something wrong with the conjugate, as far as i can tell it looks right, but for some reason my signs should be switched to give me the correct answer of:

[tex]\frac{-1632+2024i}{4225}[/tex]

(2.)determine the set of all z satisfying the given equation or inequality:

[tex]|z-2i|<=|z+1+i| & |z|> 4[/tex]

I solved this one down to:
[tex]x^2+y^2-4y+4<=x^2+y^2+2x+2y+2[/tex] & [tex]x^2+y^2>4[/tex]

what do I do to simplify it?

Thanks.

Well, you just have to find the intersection of [tex]y \geq -\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (implied by the first inequality) and [tex]x^2+y^2 > 4[/tex], i.e. [tex]S=\left\{(x,y) \in \textbf{R}^2: y \geq -\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3} \wedge x^2+y^2 > 4 \right\}[/tex]. Draw a sketch of S.
