Respuesta :
The value of a is equal to 3 and the value of b  is equal to 4.
Complex Number
A Complex Number is represented by z=a+bi, where:
a= real part
bi= imaginary number
b= imaginary part
i= [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex], therefore i²= -1
For solving this question, you should solve the product (-11 + 5i) * (1 – i). After that, you should compare the previous results with the result for expression ( (a + bi)* (2 + 3i) )-i. From this comparison, using the linear system you will find the variables a and b.
- Step 1 - Solve the product (-11 + 5i) * (1 – i)
    (-11 + 5i) * (1 – i)=
    -11 +11i +5i -5i²
    -11 +16i -5i², as i²= -1 you can rewrite
    -11 +16i -5(-1)
    -11 +16i +5
     -6+16i
Then,
(-11 + 5i) * (1 – i)=  -6+16i
- Step 2 - Simplify the expression ( (a + bi)* (2 + 3i) )-i
   ( (a + bi)* (2 + 3i) )-i
   (2a+3ai +2bi +3bi²) -i, as i²= -1 you can rewrite
   (2a+3ai +2bi +3b(-1)) -i
   (2a+3ai +2bi -3b) -i
   ( (2a-3b) + i(3a +2b) ) -i ,
For adding complex numbers, you must add or subtract the corresponding real and imaginary parts. Thus, you will have:
    (2a-3b) + i(3a +2b-1)
Then,
( (a + bi)* (2 + 3i) )-i= Â (2a-3b) + i(3a +2b-1)
- Step 3 - Identify real and imaginary parts for previous results
    Â
     For  (-11 + 5i) * (1 – i)=  -6+16i
          real part = -6
          imaginary part = 16
     For  ( (a + bi)* (2 + 3i) )-i=  (2a-3b) + i(3a +2b-1)
          real part = 2a-3b
          imaginary part = 3a +2b-1
- Step 4 - Construct a linear system from real and imaginary parts
            2a-3b= -6
            3a +2b-1=16, you can rewrite as 3a +2b=17.
Thus the system will be:
               [tex]\begin{bmatrix}2a-3b=-6\\ 3a+2b=17\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
         Â
- Step 5 - Solving the linear system
   2a-3b=-6   (1)
   3a+2b=17  (2)
   Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, you can rewrite as:
   4a-6b= -12
   9a+6b=51 Â
  Sum the equations
   4a-6b+9a+6b= -12 +51
   13a= 39
    a=39/13=3
   Â
   Replacing the value of a=3 in equation 1, you can find b.
   2a-3b=-6   (1)
   2*3-3b= -6
   6 -3b = -6
    -3b = -6 -6
    -3b= -12
      b= -12/-3 = 4
