This set of problems is intended for practice purposes. This will help the
students understand the subject in depth. Students must solve each
problem on their own with absolute understanding and submit it in the
google classroom.
1. Locate the points z1 = 9 + i, z2 = 4 + 13i, z3 = −8 + 8i and z4 = −3 − 4i in
the complex plane and show that these four points form a square.
2. Solve the equation iy

3. If the sum and the product of two complex numbers are both real then
the two numbers must either be real or conjugate.
4. If |z1 + z2| = |z1 − z2|, prove that the difference of arguments of z1 and z2
is π2.
