I.
Question 1.
Express the following complex numbers in modulus – amplitude form
i) 1 – i
ii) 1 + i√3
iii) – √3 + i
iv) – 1 – i√3
Solution:
i) (1 – i) = r cos θ + i r sin θ
r cos θ = 1, r sin θ = – 1
r2 (cos2 + sin2) = 2
r2 = 2
r = ± √2
tan θ = – 1
θ = \(-\frac{\pi}{4}\)
√2 [cos (\(-\frac{\pi}{4}\) ) + i sin (\(-\frac{\pi}{4}\) )]

ii) 1 + i√3 = r cos θ + r i sin θ
r cos θ = 1 r sin θ = √3
r2 (cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 1 + 3
r2 = 4
r = ± 2
tan θ = √3
θ = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
2 (cos \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) + i sin \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)).

iii) – √3 + i = r cos θ + r i sin θ
r cos θ = – √3
r sin θ = 1
r2 (cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 3 + 1
r = ± 2
tan θ = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
\(2\left(\cos \left(\frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)+i \sin \left(\frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)\right)\)
\(2\left(\cos \frac{5 \pi}{6}+i \sin \frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)\)

iv) – 1 – √3i = r cos θ + r i sin θ
r cos θ = – 1
r sin θ = – √3
r2 (cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 4
r = ± 2
tan θ = √3
θ = \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
Hence 2 (cos \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\) + i sin \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)).

Question 2.
Simplify – 2i (3 + i) (2 + 4i) (1 + i) and obtain the modulus of that complex number.
Solution:
z = – 2i (6 + 12i + 2i – 4) (1 + i)
= – 2i (2 + 14i) (1 + i)
= – 2i (2 + 2i + 14i – 14)
= – 2i (- 12 + 16i)
= 24i + 32 = 8 (4 + 3i)
| z |2 = 64.25
| z | = 8 × 5 = 40.

Question 3.
i) If z ≠ 0 find Arg z + Arg \(\overline{\mathbf{Z}}\).
ii) If z1 = – 1 and z2 = – i then find Arg(z1z2)
iii) If z1 = – 1 and z2 = i then find Arg \(\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right)\).
Solution:
i) z = x + iy;
\(\overline{\mathbf{Z}}\) = x – iy
Arg z = tan-1 \(\frac{y}{x}\)
Arg \(\overline{\mathbf{Z}}\) = tan-1 \(\frac{-y}{x}\)
Arg z + Arg \(\overline{\mathbf{Z}}\)
tan-1 \(\frac{y}{x}\) – tan-1 \(\frac{-y}{x}\)
0 when Arg z ≠ n
2n when Arg z = n

ii) z1 = – 1 + 0i; z2 = – i
Arg (z1z2) = Arg z1 + Arg z2
= tan-1 \(\frac{0}{-1}\) + tan-1 \(\frac{(-1)}{0}\)
= π – \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

iii) z1 = – 1; z2 = i
Arg \(\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right)\) = Arg z1 + Arg z2
tan-1 \(\frac{0}{-1}\) – tan-1 \(\frac{1}{0}\)
= π – \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).

v) If (√3 + i)100 = 299 (a + ib) then show that a2 + b2 = 4.
Solution:
i) (cos 2α + i sin 2α) (cos 2β + i sin 2β) = cos θ + i sin θ
(cos 2α cos 2β – sin 2α sin 2β) + i(sin 2α cos 2β + sin 2β cos 2α) = cos θ + i sin θ
cos 2(α + β) + i sin 2(α + β) = cos θ + i sin θ
θ = 2 (α + β)

ii) √3 + i = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
r cos θ = √3
r sin θ = 1
r2 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ) = 4
r = ± 2
tan θ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
θ = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)

iii) If x + iy = (cos α + i sin α) (cos β + i sin β)
(cos α cos β – sin α sin β) + i(cos α sin β . sinα cos β)
x + iy = cos(α + β) + i sin (α + β)
x = cos (α + β)
y = sin (α + β)
x2 + y2 = 1.

iv) \(\frac{z_2}{z_1}=k i\left|\frac{2+\frac{z_2}{z_1}}{2-\frac{z_2}{z_1}}\right|\)
\(\left|\frac{2+k i}{2-k i}\right|=\frac{\sqrt{4+k^2}}{\sqrt{4+k^2}}\) = 1

v) (√3 + i)100 = 299 (a + ib)
|√3 + i|100 = 299 |a + ib|
(√4)100 = 299 \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\)
2100 = 299 \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\)
4 = a2+ b2

\(\sqrt{(2 x-3)^2+4 y^2}\) = 7
4x2 – 12x + 9 + 4y = 49
4x2 + 4y2 – 12x – 40 = 0
x2 + y2 – 3x – 10 = 0.
Centre (\(\frac{3}{2}\), 0) radius = \(\frac{7}{2}\).

ii) |z|2 = 4 Re (z + 2)
x2 + y2 = 4 (x + 2)
x2 + y2 – 4x – 8 = 0

Question 4.
If z1, z2 are two non-zero complex numbers satisfying
i) |z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2| then show that Arg z1 – Arg z2 = 0.
ii) If z = x + iy and the point P represents z in the Argand plane and \(\left|\frac{\mathbf{z}-\mathbf{a}}{\mathbf{z}+\mathbf{a}}\right|\) = 1. Re(a) ≠ 0 then find the locus of P.
Solution:
i) |z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2|
Squaring both sides
|z1 + z2|2 = (|z1| + |z2|)2
(z1 + z2) \(\left(\bar{z}_1+\bar{z}_2\right)\) = |z1|2 + |z2|2 + 2|z1| |z2|
z1\(\bar{z}_1\) + z2\(\bar{z}_2\) + z1\(\bar{z}_2\) + z2\(\bar{z}_1\) = |z1| + |z2| + 2|z1| |z2|
(x1 + iy1) (x2 – iy2) + (x2 + iy2) (x1 – iy1) = 2
2 (x1x2 + y1y2) + i (y1x2 – x1y2 + x1y2 – y1x2) = 2 \(\sqrt{\mathrm{x}_1^2+\mathrm{y}_1^2} \sqrt{\mathrm{x}_2^2+\mathrm{y}_2^2}\)
Squaring on both sides we get
(x1x2 + y1y2)2 = (x12 + y12) (x22 + y22)
(x1y2 – y1x2)2 = 0
\(\frac{\mathrm{y}_2}{\mathrm{x}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{y}_1}{\mathrm{x}_1}\)
∴ Arg z1 – Arg z2 = 0.

ii) |z – a| = |z + a|
Squaring on both sides (x – a)2 + y2 = (x + a)2 + y2
4xa = 0
x = 0
Parallel to y – axis.

Answer:
length of garden = length of the plot – length of house
= 60 ft – 40 ft = 20 ft.
Breadth of garden = breadth of the plot – breadth of house
= 50 ft – 40 ft = 10 ft.
Area of his garden = length x breadth

TS 8th Class English Guide Unit 1B My Mother (Poem)

I cannot remember my mother,
only sometime in the midst of my play
a tune seems to hover over my playthings,
the tune of some song that she used
to hum while rocking my cradle.
I cannot remember my mother,
but when in the early autumn morning
the smell of the shiuli flowers floats in the air,
the scent of the morning service in the temple
comes to me as the scent of my mother.
I cannot remember my mother,
only when from my bedroom window I send my
eyes into the blue of the distant sky,
I feel that the stillness of my mother’s gaze
on my face has spread all over the sky.

Pre-Reading :

Look at the pictures and answer the questions that follow.

TS 8th Class English Guide Unit 1A The Tattered Blanket 1

Question 1.
What do you observe in the pictures?
Answer:
There are two families in the picture. Picture A shows a nuclear family. There are parents and two children in the picture.
Picture B shows a joint family. There are grand parents, parents, uncles and aunts and their children in the picture.

Question 2.
What type of families do we find in our present society ? Why ?
Answer:
In our present society, we find nuclear families because relationships are not being given all that importance.
Oral Discourse Debate – “Small families are happy families.”
Answer:
Speaker – 1 : Respected Chairperson, honourable judges and dear friends. I feel honoured to speak for the motion, “Small families are happy families”. There are two types of families. They are 1. Small families and 2. Joint families. When a family has more members, the sole breadwinner has to do lots of work in order to provide all the requirements to everybody in the family. But in a small family, we don’t have this issue. So, I strongly feel that small families are no doubt happy families.

Speaker – 2: Respected Chairperson, honourable judges and dear friends. My knowledgeable friend is looking at one side of the picture. I am sure that when the responsibility of doing job is shared by all the members of the family, financial problems will be solved. In a joint family, there is a great scope of sharing our feelings with our cousins, uncles, aunts etc. This will ease our stress. So, I vote for the joint families.

Speaker-1 : You know, our parents are the ideal persons to understand and clear our problems. If needed, why can’t we share our feelings with our parents and siblings? A small family, of course, is a true family especially in this present generation where relationships are given least importance.

Speaker – 2 : I am of the opinion that our wise grand parents play a vital role in guiding us towards the right path. They can instil ethics and human values in their grandchildren by narrating epics. Through this, I assert that joint families are really happy families.

Writing:

I. Read the following paragraph, taken from the story.

Delhi is too expensive. You know I have four children to look after now. I can’t make both ends meet with my salary. And one has to keep up one’s status. It will be a great help if I can raise some money by selling my share of the family property. I came to talk it over with you.

Now, write a short essay on how to keep up family ties despite economic pressures (You may use the hints given below).

Impact of economic pressures
Lack of time to spend with the family
Lack of love and affection
Absence of human relationships
Answer:
Now-a-days every family faces economic pressures. Unless both wife and husband work, they feel it difficult to run the family smoothly. Parents work from dawn to dusk. They find it difficult to spend some fruitful time with their children. Children lack love and affection of their parents. This may lead to absence of human relationships. To compensate this, parents should spend holidays and other leisure time with their children.

They need to give moral support to their children and create confidence saying that they love and care for them. Keeping aside the economic pressures, they should spend time constructively with children. Parents have to listen patiently to what children tell about their friends, their studies.

There are two types of families in the present day society. Nuclear families and joint families. In fact, joint families have almost disappeared and nuclear families are increasing day by day. A nuclear family consists of father, mother and one or two children. A joint family consists of father, mother, children and their other family members who live together supporting one another.

I prefer a joint family because there is love and affection among the members of joint family as they live together and understand one another.
Our family is a nuclear family.

The Tattered Blanket Summary in English

The eminent writer’ Kamla Das beautifully depicted human relations particularly between a mother and children in today’s mechanized society.

A son Gopi, after a long time, visited his mother. He was working as an officer in Delhi.

His sister Kamala felt happy thinking that her brother came to visit her mother and her. Later she felt very sad on knowing that her brother did not visit them out of love but on his way to attend his work.

As her mother was 83 years old, she lost her memory and couldn’t recognize her son, Gopi.

Meanwhile Kamala explained the condition of her mother to her brother. She also explained how his mother expected letters from her son. But the man had never written a letter to his mother. As his sister did not want to make her mother feel sad she told her that her brother was writing letters regularly. He told her that he was busy with his work and couldn’t find time to write letters to his mother. Kamala enquired of Gopi why he didn’t ask his wife Vimala to write to his mother.

Kamala came to know that her brother had come there to sell his share of family property. He couldn’t make his both ends meet with the money he was earning.
Kamala questioned him why he couldn’t remember his mother all those days. As he could not answer his sister’s questions, he felt guilty at the end of the story.
This story enlightens us on human relations particularly on how parents are neglected by their children at their old age.

Question 12.
Collect news items about handloom workers and cotton growers. Analyse one news item in your own way. (Information Skills and Projects) 8M
Answer:
Handloom workers – the life is miserable March 16 – Pochampalli: Handloom workers in the state are facing lot of burdens. Since they are accustomed only to handloom industry, they are not able to find any other suitable livelihood to feed the family. Middlemen make selfish business by cheating the labourers at work places. Handloom workers spend their whole time at the work. But getting wages is very less.

It is not enough to fulfill the family needs. Interestingly, retail business men also see profit as middlemen bring lot of work through unauthorised marketing. The union of handloom workers urged the government to take necessary action in favour of hiking their daily wages. They also insisted to see transparent business which brings at least sharing in the profit from the handloom industry owners.

Time should help the cotton growers :
April 17 – Gadwal : Cotton growers have had bitter experiences due to unfavourable weather conditions and lack of support from the government. Middle men and some brokers cheat the farmers by not giving the profitable price for the harvested cotton. Unfair activities to earn the money becomes main motto of raw material buyers. They buy the harvested crop at low cost, but they sell it to the price which is two times more than the price paid to farmers. In this way the farmers are cheated. Many times, farmers requested the government to help them.

Analysis on the report:
If handloom department encourages the workers they will renew their life. Middle men dealing should be abolished which will bring the profit up in favour of labourers. Government should help the workers by providing facilities such as free education to the children, free health insurance scheme etc. Government should take authentic steps to do business by the workers through which they rejuvenate their livelihood.

The handloom weaving is an old tradition. The tradition and techniques used by weavers produce finest quality textiles which machine made textiles can not give. Yet, the handloom sector is facing a lot of problems. The government efforts to restructure handlooms are to be appreciated.
