Justify your answers by showing su¢ cient work to get the full
marks.
Write your answers that involve complex numbers in a standard form
z = a+ bi, where a and b are real numbers (if you have z1
z2
or z2 etc., convert
it into standard form)
Bonus questions.
Note that the complex conjugate �A of a matrix A is the matrix whose
entries are the complex conjugates of the corresponding entries of A.
Let A be a square matrix. A is Hermitian if �AT = A, A is skew-
Hermitian if �AT = �A:(This is generalization of symmetric and skew-
symmetric real matrices which is useful in engineering, mathematics, physics
and chemistry).
The following theorem summarizes the basic properties of such matrices.
Theorem.
1. The main diagonal of a Hermitian matrix consists of real numbers.
2. The main diagonal of a skew-Hermitian matrix consists of zeroes or
pure imaginary numbers.

3. A matrix that is both Hermitian and skew-Hermitian is a zero matrix.
4. If A and B are Hermitian, so are A + B, A � B, and cA for any real
scalar c.
5. If A and B are skew-Hermitian, so are A+B, A�B, and cA for any
real scalar c.
B1. (3 marks). Prove this theorem.
Note also that the generalization of orthogonal matrices (the last lecture)
is: a square matrix A is unitary if �AT = A�1, or equivalently A �AT = I:
