Two complex numbers are represented by c + d and e-f , where c, d, e, and f are positive real numbers. In what two quadrants may the product of these complex numbers lie? Explain your answer in complete sentences.

Answers: First Quadrant and Fourth Quadrant

======================================================

Explanation:

Let

be the two complex numbers.

Multiply them out to see what we get

The result we get is in the form a+bi where

Recall that any complex number of the form a+bi can be plotted on the xy plane with 'a' being treated as the x coordinate and b as the y coordinate. In short, the location of a+bi is at the point (a,b)

With c,d,e,f being positive, this means ce and df are positive, and a = ce+df is also positive.

This places the result of wz in either the first or fourth quadrants (the northeast or southeast quadrants respectively), due to the positive x coordinate.

We don't have enough info to determine whether b = -cf+de is positive or not. So that's why we can't nail down the precise quadrant of wz

If b > 0, then wz is in quadrant 1

If b < 0, then wz is in quadrant 4
