1. i3 (2α + i) = (–i)(2α + i) 7. i4 – 4i3 + 5i2 – 3i = 1 – 4(–i) + 5(–1) – 3i

= –2αi – i2 = –4 + i
= –2αi – (–1) ∴ The real part of i4 – 4i3 + 5i2 – 3i is –4.
= 1 – 2αi ∴ The answer is B.
∴ The answer is B.
8. i11 + 2i12 + 3i13 + 4i14 = –i + 2(1) + 3i + 4(–1)
2. i5 (5 – βi) = i(5 – βi) = –2 + 2i
= 5i – βi2 ∴ The imaginary part of
= 5i – β(–1) i11 + 2i12 + 3i13 + 4i14 is 2i.
= β + 5i ∴ The answer is C.
∴ The answer is A.

3. z = (a – 4)i + (a + 2)i
7 8 i i i
= (a – 4)(–i) + (a + 2)(1) i  3k (1)
= – 5k
= (a + 2) – (a – 4)i 1
∵ z is a real number. = –i + 3k – 5k
∴ a–4=0 = –2k – i
a=4 ∴ The answer is D.
∴ The answer is D.

10. 2ki – = 2ki – 
4. z = (18 – b)i + (19 + b)i
18 19 i i i
= (18 – b)(–1) + (19 + b)(–i) 4ki  3(1)
= 2ki –
= (b – 18) – (19 + b)i 1
∵ z is a real number. = 2ki + 4ki + 3
∴ 19 + b = 0 = 3 + 6ki
b = –19 ∴ The answer is A.
∴ The answer is A.

11. = 
5. (m + 2i)(2 – i) = 2m – mi + 4i – 2i2 x  3i x  3i x  3i
= (2m + 2) + (4 – m)i ( x 2  9)( x  3i)
=
∴ The real part of (m + 2i)(2 – i) is 2m + 2. x 2  (3i) 2
∴ The answer is D. ( x 2  9)( x  3i)
=
x2  9
6. (2a – 4i)(ai – 3) = 2a2i – 6a – 4ai2 + 12i = x + 3i
= –6a + 4a + (2a + 12)i
2
∴ The answer is A.
= –2a + (2a2 + 12)i
∴ The real part of (2a – 4i)(ai – 3) is –2a.
∴ The answer is A.
