Exercises1:
Question1. Prove that if number is equal to its conjugate, it is necessarily real.
Proof:
Let

z a ib where a, b

Assume that z z . We need to show that z is real.


Since z z ,

a ib a ib
i 2b 0
b0
Question2. Prove that any number is equal to the conjugate of its conjugate.
Proof:
Let

z a ib be any number , where a, b

We need to show that z z . We need to show


z that

is real.

Since z a
, ib

z a ib z
Thus, z z
Question3. Prove that if both
Proof:
Let

z1 z2 and z1 z2 are real, then either z1 and z2 are both real or z1 = z2

z1 a1 ib1 and z2 a2 ib2 be any two numbers , where a1, a2 , b1, b2

Assume that z1 z2 and z1 z2 are real s.t.


Since z1 z2 a1 ib1 a2 ib2 a1 a2 i b1 b2 a3

If a1 a2 and

then

z1 a1 ib1 =a2 ib2 =z2

Question4. Prove that if both if the product of two complex numbers is zero, at least one of the
numbers must be zero.
Proof:
Let

z1 a1 ib1 and z2 a2 ib2 be any two numbers , where a1, a2 , b1, b2

z1 z2 a1 ib1 a2 ib2 a1a2 ia1b2 ia2b1 b1b2 a1a2 b1b2 i a1b2 a2b1 0

b2 a2b1 0 ,
a2

multiply by

a2 both sides, then
