Problem 18
Let be a complex number satisfying What is the value if
The answer being in the form means that there are two solutions, some complex number and its complex conjugate. . We should then be able to test out some ordered pairs of (a, b). After testing it out, we get the ordered pairs of and its conjugate . Plugging this into answer format gives us
