Express the following in the form of a + ib, a, b ∈ R, i = `sqrt(−1)`. State the values of a and b:

(1 + i)(1 − i)−1 

Sum

Solution

(1 + i)(1 − i)−1 

= `(1 + "i")/(1 - "i")` 

= `((1 + "i")(1 + "i"))/((1 - "i")(1 + "i")`

= `(1 + 2"i" + "i"^2)/(1 - "i"^2)`

= `(1 + 2"i" - 1)/(1 - (-1))`   ...[∵ i2 = −1]

= `(2"i")/2`

= i

∴ (1 + i)(1 − i)−1 = 0 + i

∴ a = 0 and b = 1
