What is the value of 12+5 i + 12-5 i , where i= -1 ?
What is the value of 12+5i+12−5i,wherei=−1?
Options
A24
B25
C52
D5(2−1)
Correct answer
C. 52
Step-by-step solution
Let 12+5i=x+iy⇒12+5i=(x+iy)2⇒x2−y2=12...(i)and2xy=5...(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get
x=25,y=21
So, 12+5i=25+2i
Similarly, 12−5i=25−2i
Now, 12+5i+12−5i=25+2i+25−2i=52
