Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 410

Question: Additive inverse of $ 1-i $ is

Options:

A) $ 0+0i $

B) $ -1-i $

C) $ -1+i $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

If $ z=x+iy $ is the additive inverse of $ 1-i $ then $ (x+iy)+(1-i)=0 $
Þ $ x+1=0 $ , $ y-1=0 $
Þ $ x=-1 $ , $ y=1 $
$ \therefore $ The additive inverse of $ 1-i $ is $ z=-1+i $ Trick: Since $ (1-i)+(-1+i)=0 $
