By properties of conjugate: z 1 z 1 = 5 2 , z 2 z 2 = 1 3 2 . Thus, 3 9 z 1 − 1 5 z 2 = 1 3 2 3 9 z 1 z 2 z 2 − 5 2 1 5 z 2 z 1 z 1 = z 1 z 2 ( 1 3 3 z 2 − 5 3 z 1 ) = z 1 z 2 ( 6 5 1 5 z 2 − 3 9 z 1 ) = − 6 5 z 1 z 2 3 9 z 1 − 1 5 z 2 .
Rearranging the equation gives us: z 1 z 2 = − 6 5 3 9 z 1 − 1 5 z 2 3 9 z 1 − 1 5 z 2 = − 6 5 4 − 7 i 4 + 7 i = − ( 4 + 7 i ) 2 = 3 3 − 5 6 i . Therefore, a = 3 3 , b = − 5 6 and 2 a + b = 1 0
