Ans:

Let  $ \mathrm{ }\!\!\alpha\!\!\text{ =a+ib }\!\!\And\!\!\text{  }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ =x+iy} $ 

It is given that,  $ \left| \mathrm{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ } \right|\mathrm{=1} $ 

$ \begin{align} &\sqrt{{{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}\mathrm{=1} \\ &\mathrm{}{{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{=1}..\left| \dfrac{\mathrm{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ - }\!\!\alpha\!\!\text{ }}{\mathrm{1-\bar{ }\!\!\alpha\!\!\text{ }}} \right|\mathrm{=}\left| \dfrac{\mathrm{(x+iy)-(a+ib)}}{\mathrm{1-(a-ib)(x+iy)}} \right| \\  & \mathrm{=}\left| \dfrac{\mathrm{(x-a)+i(y-b)}}{\mathrm{1-(ax+aiy-ibx+by)}} \right| \\   & \mathrm{=}\left| \dfrac{\mathrm{(x-a)+i(y-b)}}{\mathrm{(1-ax-by)+i(bx-ay)}} \right| \\  & \mathrm{=}\left| \dfrac{\mathrm{(x-a)+i(y-b)}}{\mathrm{(1-ax-by)+i(bx-ay)}} \right| \\  \end{align} $ 

$ \begin{align} & \mathrm{=}\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\mathrm{(x-a)}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+(y-b}{{\mathrm{)}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}}{\sqrt{{{\mathrm{(1-ax-by)}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+(bx-ay}{{\mathrm{)}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}} \\ &\mathrm{=}\dfrac{\sqrt{{{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{-2ax+}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{-2by}}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{1+}{{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}{{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{-2ax+2abxy-2by+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}}{{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{-2abxy}}} \\  & \mathrm{=}\dfrac{\sqrt{\left( {{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{-2ax-2by}}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{1+}{{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\left( {{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\left( {{\mathrm{y}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{x}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\mathrm{-2ax-2by}}} \\  \end{align} $

Ans: Equation 

$ \begin{align} & \mathrm{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ 1-i}{{\mathrm{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }}^{\mathrm{x}}}\mathrm{=}{{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{x}}} \\  & {{\left( \sqrt{{{\mathrm{1}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+(-1}{{\mathrm{)}}^{\mathrm{2}}}} \right)}^{\mathrm{x}}}\mathrm{=}{{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{x}}} \\  & {{\mathrm{(}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{)}}^{\mathrm{x}}}\mathrm{=}{{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{x}}} \\  & {{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{x/2}}}\mathrm{=}{{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{x}}} \\  & \dfrac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{=x} \\  & \mathrm{x=2x} \\  & \mathrm{x=0} \\  \end{align} $ 

Thus,  $ \mathrm{0} $ is the only integral solution of the given equation. Therefore, the number of nonzero integral solutions of the given equation is  $ \mathrm{0} $.

Ans: Expression 

$ \begin{align} & \mathrm{(a+ib)(c+id)(e+if)(g+ih)=A+iB} \\  & \mathrm{ }\!\!\!\!\text{  }\!\!|\!\!\text{ (a+ib)(c+id)(e+if)(g+ih) }\!\!|\!\!\text{ = }\!\!|\!\!\text{ A+iB }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \\  & \mathrm{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ (a+ib) }\!\!|\!\!\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\!\!|\!\!\text{ (c+id) }\!\!|\!\!\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\!\!|\!\!\text{ (e+if) }\!\!|\!\!\text{  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  }\!\!|\!\!\text{ (g+ih) }\!\!|\!\!\text{ = }\!\!|\!\!\text{ A+iB }\!\!|\!\!\text{ }\quad \mathrm{Q}\left[ \left| {{\mathrm{z}}_{\mathrm{1}}}{{\mathrm{z}}_{\mathrm{2}}} \right|\mathrm{=}\left| {{\mathrm{z}}_{\mathrm{1}}} \right|\left| {{\mathrm{z}}_{\mathrm{2}}} \right| \right] \\ &\sqrt{{{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}\mathrm{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\sqrt{{{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{d}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}\mathrm{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\sqrt{{{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}\mathrm{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\sqrt{{{\mathrm{g}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{h}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}\mathrm{=}\sqrt{{{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{2}}}} \\  \end{align} $ 

By squaring 

$ \left( {{\mathrm{a}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{b}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\left( {{\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{d}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\left( {{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\left( {{\mathrm{g}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{h}}^{\mathrm{2}}} \right)\mathrm{=}{{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{2}}} $ 

Hence, proved

Ans: $ \begin{align} & {{\left( \dfrac{\mathrm{1+i}}{\mathrm{1-i}} \right)}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\  & {{\left( \dfrac{\mathrm{1+i}}{\mathrm{1-i}}\mathrm{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\mathrm{1+i}}{\mathrm{1+i}} \right)}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\  & {{\left( \dfrac{{{\mathrm{(1+i)}}^{\mathrm{2}}}}{{{\mathrm{1}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{1}}^{\mathrm{2}}}} \right)}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\  & {{\left( \dfrac{{{\mathrm{1}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+}{{\mathrm{i}}^{\mathrm{2}}}\mathrm{+2i}}{\mathrm{2}} \right)}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\ \end{align} $ 

$ \begin{align} & {{\left( \dfrac{\mathrm{1-1+2i}}{\mathrm{2}} \right)}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\  & {{\left( \dfrac{\mathrm{2i}}{\mathrm{2}} \right)}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\  & {{\mathrm{i}}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=1} \\  & {{\mathrm{i}}^{\mathrm{m}}}\mathrm{=}{{\mathrm{i}}^{\mathrm{4k}}} \\ \end{align} $  

$ \mathrm{m=4k} $  , where  $ \mathrm{k} $  is some integer

Therefore, the least positive is one

Thus, the least positive integral value of  $ \mathrm{m} $  is  $ \mathrm{4=}\left( \mathrm{4 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1} \right) $
