The complex numbers corresponding to the endpoints of one diagonal of a square drawn on a complex plane are 1 + 2i and -2 – i.What are the complex numbers corresponding to the endpoints of the square's other diagonal?

Respuesta :

On the complex plane, the number [tex] a+bi [/tex] is mapped onto the point with coordinates [tex] (a,b) [/tex].

In other words, the x coordinate is the real part of the number, while the y coordinate is the complex part of the number.

Viceversa, if you start from a point [tex] (x,y) [/tex], you can identify the number [tex]x + iy [/tex].

So, the endpoints of the diagonal are the points [tex] (1,2) [/tex] and [tex] (-2,-1) [/tex]. These are points A and C in the attached figure.

This means that points B and D have coordinates

[tex] B = (-2,2),\quad D = (1,-1) [/tex]

So, the correspondant complex numbers are

[tex] B = (-2,2)\mapsto -2+2i,\quad D = (1,-1)\mapsto 1-i [/tex]
