I wouldn't say this is exactly a "simple" way to solve qu 2, perhaps someone can tell us how to achieve that without typing complex all the time. Certainly, it is fine writing the imaginary part first (just like writing (y,x) for (x,y)) but it is not so nice when one is teaching a class where the students have seen complex numbers in their "standard forn" before. Afterall, if they are equivalent so why not adhere to the custom?
