fine the value of rel number y such that ( 3+2i)(1+iy) is (a)real and (b) imaginary
please you have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, in order to perform your calculus
namely: \[(3+2i)(1+iy)=3(1+iy)+2i(1+iy)=\] please try
Please, I can not say you the solution directly, since the code of conduct
so, please continue the above calculus that I have wrote
(3-2y)+i(2y+2) now next?
sorry I got: (3-2y)+i(2+3y)
oh yes just writng mistake but now next ?
ok! if you want a real number, you have to set: 2+6y=0, then solve for y; similarly if you want an imaginary number, you have to set: 3-2y=0, and then solve for y again
sorry I have made an error, ...you have to set 2+3y=0...
thank you but why we put os equal to zero?
when you set 3-2y=0, your number becomes: i(2+3y), which is an imaginary number. SImilarly, when you set 2+3y=0, your number becomes: 3-2y, which is a real number!
for example in the first case you get y=3/2, and your number is: i(2+3*3/2)=i*13/2 whereas in the second case you get y=... please try!
