Here are 10 sample questions. Start a quiz to get randomized questions with scoring.

Q1
Easy
Which of the following is a purely imaginary number?
A. 5 + 0i
B. 0 + 7i
C. 3 - 2i
D. 1 + 1i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
A purely imaginary number has no real part, meaning it is of the form 0 + bi. The option 0 + 7i fits this definition, while the others contain a non-zero real part.
Q2
Easy
Which of the following is the sum of the complex numbers 2 + 3i and 4 - 5i?
A. 6 - 2i
B. 6 + 2i
C. 2 + 8i
D. 2 - 2i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
To find the sum of two complex numbers, add their real parts and imaginary parts separately. (2 + 4) + (3i - 5i) = 6 - 2i.
Q3
Easy
If z = 3 + 4i, what is the modulus of z?
A. 5
B. 7
C. 1
D. 8
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The modulus of a complex number z = a + bi is given by |z| = โˆš(aยฒ + bยฒ). Here, |z| = โˆš(3ยฒ + 4ยฒ) = โˆš(9 + 16) = โˆš25 = 5.
Q4
Medium
Which of the following represents the complex conjugate of the number z = 2 - 5i?
A. 2 + 5i
B. -2 + 5i
C. 5 - 2i
D. 2 - 5i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
The complex conjugate of a complex number z = a + bi is given by a - bi. Therefore, for z = 2 - 5i, the conjugate is 2 + 5i.
Q5
Medium
If z = 1 + i and w = 2 - 3i, what is the product zw?
A. -1 + 5i
B. 7 - i
C. 8 - i
D. 5 + 7i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
To find the product of two complex numbers, we use the distributive property. (1 + i)(2 - 3i) = 1*2 + 1*(-3i) + i*2 + i*(-3i) = 2 - 3i + 2i + 3 = -1 + 5i.
Q6
Medium
If z = 4 + 3i, what is z^2?
A. 7 + 24i
B. 16 + 24i
C. 7 - 24i
D. 16 - 24i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
To square a complex number, use (a + bi)ยฒ = aยฒ + 2abi + (bi)ยฒ. For z = 4 + 3i, zยฒ = 4ยฒ + 2(4)(3i) + (3i)ยฒ = 16 + 24i - 9 = 7 + 24i.
Q7
Medium
Which of the following is the Cartesian form of the complex number z = 5(cos 45ยฐ + i sin 45ยฐ)?
A. 5 + 5i
B. 2.5 + 2.5i
C. 5โˆš2 + 5โˆš2 i
D. 0 + 5i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Using Euler's formula, we convert z = 5(cos 45ยฐ + i sin 45ยฐ) to Cartesian form by calculating cos 45ยฐ = sin 45ยฐ = โˆš2/2. Therefore, z = 5(โˆš2/2 + i(โˆš2/2)) = 5(โˆš2/2) + 5(โˆš2/2)i = 5 + 5i.
Q8
Hard
If z1 = 2 + 3i and z2 = 4 - 5i, what is the product z1 * z2?
A. 23 - 7i
B. 23 + 7i
C. 2 - 15i
D. 7 - 22i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
To find the product of two complex numbers z1 = a + bi and z2 = c + di, we use the formula (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdiยฒ. Here, a = 2, b = 3, c = 4, d = -5. Therefore, z1 * z2 = (2 * 4) + (2 * -5)i + (3 * 4)i + (3 * -5)(-1) = 8 - 10i + 12i + 15 = 23 - 7i.
Q9
Hard
Given two complex numbers z1 = 3 + 4i and z2 = 1 - 2i, what is the product z1 * z2?
A. -5 + 10i
B. 11 - 10i
C. 11 + 10i
D. 5 + 10i
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The product of two complex numbers z1 = a + bi and z2 = c + di is given by (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i. Here, a = 3, b = 4, c = 1, and d = -2. Thus, z1 * z2 = (3*1 - 4*(-2)) + (3*(-2) + 4*1)i = (3 + 8) + (-6 + 4)i = 11 - 2i.
Q10
Hard
If z = 4 + 3i, what is the modulus of z and the argument of z in radians?
A. 5, 0.6435
B. 5, 0.9273
C. 3.5, 0.6435
D. 5, 1.1071
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The modulus of z is calculated as โˆš(4ยฒ + 3ยฒ) = โˆš(16 + 9) = โˆš25 = 5. The argument is found using tanโปยน(3/4) which is approximately 0.6435 radians. Thus, the correct answer combining both values is 5 and approximately 0.6435 radians.
