1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve for xx and yy in several equations involving complex numbers.

2. Solution Steps

(a) (x+yi)=(3+i)(23i)(x + yi) = (3 + i)(2 - 3i)
x+yi=3(2)+3(3i)+i(2)+i(3i)=69i+2i3i2=67i3(1)=67i+3=97ix + yi = 3(2) + 3(-3i) + i(2) + i(-3i) = 6 - 9i + 2i - 3i^2 = 6 - 7i - 3(-1) = 6 - 7i + 3 = 9 - 7i
Therefore, x=9x = 9 and y=7y = -7.
(b) 2+5i1i=x+yi\frac{2 + 5i}{1 - i} = x + yi
To simplify the left side, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
2+5i1i1+i1+i=(2+5i)(1+i)(1i)(1+i)=2+2i+5i+5i21i2=2+7i51(1)=3+7i2=32+72i\frac{2 + 5i}{1 - i} \cdot \frac{1 + i}{1 + i} = \frac{(2 + 5i)(1 + i)}{(1 - i)(1 + i)} = \frac{2 + 2i + 5i + 5i^2}{1 - i^2} = \frac{2 + 7i - 5}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{-3 + 7i}{2} = -\frac{3}{2} + \frac{7}{2}i
Thus, x=32x = -\frac{3}{2} and y=72y = \frac{7}{2}.
(c) 3+4i=(x+yi)(1+i)3 + 4i = (x + yi)(1 + i)
3+4i=x(1)+x(i)+yi(1)+yi(i)=x+xi+yi+yi2=x+xi+yiy=(xy)+(x+y)i3 + 4i = x(1) + x(i) + yi(1) + yi(i) = x + xi + yi + yi^2 = x + xi + yi - y = (x - y) + (x + y)i
Equating the real and imaginary parts, we have:
xy=3x - y = 3 and x+y=4x + y = 4.
Adding these two equations, we get 2x=72x = 7, so x=72x = \frac{7}{2}.
Substituting this into x+y=4x + y = 4, we have 72+y=4\frac{7}{2} + y = 4, so y=472=8272=12y = 4 - \frac{7}{2} = \frac{8}{2} - \frac{7}{2} = \frac{1}{2}.
Thus, x=72x = \frac{7}{2} and y=12y = \frac{1}{2}.
(d) (x+yi)2=2(x + yi)^2 = 2
x2+2xyi+(yi)2=2x^2 + 2xyi + (yi)^2 = 2
x2y2+2xyi=2x^2 - y^2 + 2xyi = 2
Equating the real and imaginary parts:
x2y2=2x^2 - y^2 = 2 and 2xy=02xy = 0.
Since 2xy=02xy = 0, either x=0x = 0 or y=0y = 0.
If x=0x = 0, then y2=2-y^2 = 2, so y2=2y^2 = -2. Thus, y=±i2y = \pm i\sqrt{2}, but we are looking for real values of xx and yy, so we reject these solutions.
If y=0y = 0, then x2=2x^2 = 2, so x=±2x = \pm\sqrt{2}.
Thus, x=±2x = \pm\sqrt{2} and y=0y = 0.
(e) x+yi2+i=5i\frac{x + yi}{2 + i} = 5i
x+yi=5i(2+i)=10i+5i2=10i5=5+10ix + yi = 5i(2 + i) = 10i + 5i^2 = 10i - 5 = -5 + 10i
Thus, x=5x = -5 and y=10y = 10.
(f) 1x+yi+1xyi=45i\frac{1}{x + yi} + \frac{1}{x - yi} = -\frac{4}{5}i
(xyi)+(x+yi)(x+yi)(xyi)=2xx2+y2=45i\frac{(x - yi) + (x + yi)}{(x + yi)(x - yi)} = \frac{2x}{x^2 + y^2} = -\frac{4}{5}i
Since the left side is a real number and the right side is purely imaginary, the only possible value for each side is

0. Therefore, $2x = 0$, which means $x = 0$. Also, $-\frac{4}{5}i = 0$ leads to a contradiction, so there are no solutions for this equation.

(g) 1x+iy+11+3i=1\frac{1}{x + iy} + \frac{1}{1 + 3i} = 1
1x+iy=111+3i=1+3i11+3i=3i1+3i\frac{1}{x + iy} = 1 - \frac{1}{1 + 3i} = \frac{1 + 3i - 1}{1 + 3i} = \frac{3i}{1 + 3i}
x+iy=1+3i3i=(1+3i)(3i)(3i)(3i)=3i9i29i2=3i+99=113ix + iy = \frac{1 + 3i}{3i} = \frac{(1 + 3i)(-3i)}{(3i)(-3i)} = \frac{-3i - 9i^2}{-9i^2} = \frac{-3i + 9}{9} = 1 - \frac{1}{3}i
Thus, x=1x = 1 and y=13y = -\frac{1}{3}.

3. Final Answer

(a) x=9,y=7x = 9, y = -7
(b) x=32,y=72x = -\frac{3}{2}, y = \frac{7}{2}
(c) x=72,y=12x = \frac{7}{2}, y = \frac{1}{2}
(d) x=±2,y=0x = \pm\sqrt{2}, y = 0
(e) x=5,y=10x = -5, y = 10
(f) No solution
(g) x=1,y=13x = 1, y = -\frac{1}{3}
