Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 425

Question: If $ \frac{5(-8+6i)}{{{(1+i)}^{2}}}=a+ib $ , then $ (a,b) $ equals [RPET 1986]

Options:

A) (15, 20)

B) (20, 15)

C) $ (-15,20) $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ \frac{5(-8+6i)}{{{(1+i)}^{2}}}=a+ib $ Þ $ \frac{-40+30i}{2i}=15+20i=a+ib $ Equating real and imaginary parts, we get $ a=15 $ and $ b=20 $ .
