Answer to Problem 1P

Solution:

The value of z¯=25i and |z|=29 for the given complex number.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given complex number is,

z=2+5i

Approach:

The definition of complex conjugate states that,

If z=a+ib, then the complex number z¯ defined by z¯=aib is called the conjugate of z.

The definition of modulus of z is as follows,

If z=a+ib, then real number a2+b2 is often called modulus of z or the absolute value of z and is denoted |z|.

Calculation:

Consider the given complex number,

z=2+5i

Compare the above complex number with the standard complex number z=a+ib.

Here, a=2 and b=5.

By the definition of complex conjugate of z is z¯ and z¯=aib

Hence, the complex of conjugate of z is z¯=25i.

By the definition of modulus of z,

|z|=a2+b2

Substitute 2 for a and 5 for b in above expression to find |z|.

|z|=(2)2+(5)2=4+26=29

Therefore, the value of z¯=25i and |z|=29 for the given complex number.

Conclusion:

Hence, the value of z¯=25i and |z|=29 for the given complex number.
