Defining z=x+iy
- Let the complex number be z=x+iy
- Here, x=Re(z) and y=Im(z)
- We are given z=0, so x and y are not both zero.
Expanding z2
- Calculate z2=(x+iy)2
- Using (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2:
- z2=x2+2ixy+(iy)2
- Since i2=−1, we get:
- z2=(x2−y2)+i(2xy)
Condition (A): Re(z)=0
- Condition (A) states Re(z)=0
- This implies x=0
- The complex number simplifies to z=iy
Substituting x=0 into z2
- Substitute x=0 into z2=(x2−y2)+i(2xy)
- z2=(02−y2)+i(2⋅0⋅y)
- z2=−y2+i(0)
Result for (A): Im(z2)=0
- Since z2=−y2 is a purely real number:
- Im(z2)=0
- Conclusion for (A): Matches with (q)
Condition (B): Arg(z)=4π
- Condition (B) states Arg(z)=4π
- This implies tan(4π)=xy=1
- Therefore, x=y (and x>0 for the first quadrant)
Substituting x=y into z2
- Substitute y=x into z2=(x2−y2)+i(2xy)
- z2=(x2−x2)+i(2⋅x⋅x)
- z2=0+i(2x2)
Result for (B): Re(z2)=0
- Since z2=i(2x2) is a purely imaginary number:
- Re(z2)=0
- Conclusion for (B): Matches with (p)
Final Summary and Takeaway
- Final Match:
- (A) Re(z)=0⟹(q)Im(z2)=0
- (B) Arg(z)=4π⟹(p)Re(z2)=0
- Key Takeaway: Squaring a complex number squares its magnitude and doubles its argument.
