For all z C, prove that

Question: For all z C, prove that (i) $\frac{1}{2}(z+\bar{z})=\operatorname{Re}(z)$ (ii) $\frac{1}{2}(z+\bar{z})=\operatorname{Re}(z)$ (iii) $Z \bar{Z}=|z|^{2}$ (iv) $(z+\bar{z})$ is real (v) $(z-\bar{z})$ is 0 or imaginary. Solution: Let z = a + ib $\Rightarrow \bar{z}=a-i b$ Now,$\frac{z+\bar{z}}{2}=\frac{(a+i b)+(a-i b)}{2}=\frac{2 a}{2}=a=\operatorname{Re}(z)$ Hence Proved. (ii) Let $z=a+i b$ $\Rightarrow \bar{z}=a-i b$ $w, \frac{z+\bar{z}}{2}$ $=\frac{(a+i b)+(a-i b)}{2}$ $=\frac{2 a}{2}=\f...
