Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if t

here exists a $w \in S$ such that $zw = 1.$ Find the number of units in $S.$

Answer:

Number of units possible in S are 4.

Explanation:

Given <em>S</em> is a set of complex number of the form a+bi where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are integers.

z\in S is a unit if w\in z exists such that zw=1.

To find:

Number of units possible = ?

Solution:

Given that:

zw = 1

Taking modulus both sides:

|zw| = |1|

Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.

i.e.

|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|

So,

|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}......... (1)

Let z=a+bi

Then modulus of z is   |z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

Given that a and b are <em>integers</em>, so the equation (1) can be true only when |z| = |w| =1 (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:

(a = 1, b = 0) ,  (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)

So, the possible complex numbers can be:

1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i

Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

Jason rents rooms in his hotel for an average of $100 per night. The variable cost per rented room is $20. His fixed costs are $
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

D) 1,500

Explanation:

rent per room =$100 dollars

variable cost= $ 20 dollars

fixed cost =$ 100,000.00

desired profits=$ 20,000.00

volume(V) to meet profit target;

Contribution margin per sale= $100-$20= $80

Profits = revenue-cost

=$20,000= Vx$80-$100,000

=20,000=v80-100000

   v80=100,000.00+20,000

    v80=120,000

         v=  120,000/80

Volume =1,500
