Complex No. Qns
hi ,

i got a question on complex no. How to prove the question is correct?

| (3 + j4)^5 | = 5^5
| ( 1 + j 3 ) | 2

i know that |Z| = |x + jy| = sqrt (x^2 + y^2) = ( Z x Z*)

for the lower part , i achieve ( 1 + 3 ) = 4 using ( Z x Z*) which i think i am right

but i am stuck on the upper part. can't acheive the answer..

(3 + j4)^5 which i can determine the r = 5 but am i on the right track converting into euler form ?

Thanks a lot for any help :)

Show that
$\left|\frac{(3 + 4j)^5}{1 + 3j}\right| = \frac{5^5}{2}$?

This should be : |Z| = |x + jy| = sqrt (x^2 + y^2) = sqrt ( Z x Z*)

Maybe you want to recalculate this one ^^

Yes, r = 5 is right. You don't have to state it in euler form if you want to find |(3 + j4)^5|

But I don't think the question is right...

Maybe this is the question?
$\frac{|(3 + 4j)^5|}{|1 + j{\color{red}\sqrt{3}}|} = \frac{5^5}{2}$

hi yes!! sorry for the typo error!! the question should be as above :)

and yes! it should have been sqrt (Z x Z*)

thanks!
