### Eureka Math Precalculus Module 1 Lesson 7 Problem Set Answer Key

Problems 1 and 2 are easy entry problems that allow students to practice operations on complex numbers and the algebra involved in such operations, including solving systems of equations. These problems also reinforce that complex numbers have a real component and an imaginary component. Problem 3 is more difficult. Most students should attempt part (a), but part (b) is optional and sets the stage for the next lesson. All skills practiced in this Problem Set are essential for success in Lesson 8.

Question 1.
State the conjugate of each complex number. Then, find the multiplicative inverse of each number, and verify by multiplying by a+bi and solving a system of equations.

-5ai+5b=1
-5a=0,5b=1
a=0,b=$$\frac{1}{5}$$
Multiplicative inverse: 0+$$\frac{1}{5}$$i=$$\frac{1}{5}$$i

### Eureka Math Precalculus Module 1 Lesson 7 Exit Ticket Answer Key

Question 1.
Find the multiplicative inverse of 3-2i. Verify that your solution is correct by confirming that the product of 3-2i and its multiplicative inverse is 1.
If a+bi is the multiplicative inverse of 3-2i, then
(3-2i)(a+bi)=1+0i(3-2i)(a+bi)
3a+3bi-2ai-2bi2=1+0i
3a+3bi-2ai+2b=1+0i.
3a+2b=1 and (3b-2a)i=0i, so 3b-2a=0.
a=$$\frac{3}{13}$$, b=$$\frac{2}{13}$$, so the multiplicative inverse a+bi=$$\frac{3+2i}{13}$$.
Verification: (3-2i)($$\frac{3}{13}$$+$$\frac{2i}{13}$$)=$$\frac{9}{13}$$+$$\frac{6i}{13}$$–$$\frac{6i}{13}$$–$$\frac{4 i^{2}}{13}$$=$$\frac{9}{13}$$+$$\frac{4}{13}$$=1

Question 2.
What is the conjugate of 3-2i?
