Let \(z\) and \(w\) be complex numbers satisfying \(|z| = 5, |w| = 2,\) and \(z\overline{w} = 6+8i.\) Then enter in the numbers \(|z+w|^2, |zw|^2, |z-w|^2, \left| \dfrac{z}{w} \right|^2 \), in the order listed above.

 

 

 

Thanks!!

\(\text{Let } z=a+bi\text{ and }w=c+di\\\text{Then }|z|=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\text{, }|w|=\sqrt{c^2+d^2} \text{ and }z\bar w=(a+bi)(c-di)=ac+bd+(bc-ad)i\)

 

\(\text{Hence }a^2+b^2=5^2,ac+bd=6,c^2+d^2=2^2,bc-ad=8\)

 

(1)

  \(|z+w|=|a+c+(b+d)i|=\sqrt{a^2+c^2+2ac+b^2+d^2+2bd}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2+2(ac+bd)}\\=\sqrt{5^2+2^2+2\times6}=\sqrt{41}\\\text{So }|z+w|^2=41\)

 

 

See if you can do the rest using a similar approach.

I am able to do all of them except the third one. Can you help me on that as well? 

 

Thanks!!

Not sure which you meant by the third (including or excluding the one I did!), so:
