4. On an Argand diagram the point P and Q represent z and z+iz respectively. Show that OPQ is a right angled triangle.

5. On an Argand diagram the point P and Q represent z1 and z2 respectively. OPQ is an equilateral triangle. Show that z1²+z2²=z1z2

Let
z = x+yi
iz = -y+xi


--->OR = iz

^POR = pi/2 |z| = |iz|
Triangle OPQ is a right angled

Let z1 = z2 cis pi/3
z21 = z22 cis 2pi/3

LHS = z21 + z22
= z22cis 2pi/3 + z22
= z22(cis 2pi/3 +1)
= z22(1 + cos 2pi/3 + isin 2pi/3)
= z22(1/2 + i(root 3)/2)

RHS = z1. z2
= z2 cis pi/3 . z2
= z22 cis pi/3
= z22(1/2 + i(root3)/2)
= LHS as req'd
