Question 13 Marks
Write in $(\text{i}^{25})^3$ polar form.
Answer
$(\text{i}^{25} )^3=\text{i}^{75}$ $=\text{i}^4\times 18+3$ $=(\text{ i}^4)^{ 18}.\text{ i}^3$ $=\text{i}^3\ \big[\because \text{i}^4=1\big]$ $=\text{-i}\ \big[\because \text{i}^3=-\text{i}\big]$ Let $\text{z} = 0 - \text{i}$ Then, $\text{|z|}=\sqrt{0^2+(-1)^2}=1$ Let $\theta$ be the argument of z and a be the acute angle given by $\tan \alpha=\frac{|\text{Im}\text{(z)|}}{|\text{Re}\text{(z)}|}$
Then, $\tan\alpha=\frac{1}{0}=\infty$ $\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{\pi}{2}$ Clearly, z lies in fourth quadrant. so $\text{arg(z)}=-\alpha =-\frac{\pi}{2}$ $\therefore$ the polar from of z is $\text{|z|}(\cos\theta+\text{i }\sin\theta)=\cos(-\frac{\pi}{2})+\text{i }\sin(-\frac{\pi}{2})$ Thus, the polar from of $(\text{i}^{25})^3$ is $\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})-\text{i }\sin(\frac{\pi}{2})$

Question 23 Marks
Find the conjugates of the following complex numbers: $\frac{1}{3+5\text{i}}$
Answer
Let $\text{z}=\frac{1}{3+5\text{i}}$ $=\frac{1}{3+5\text{i}}\times\frac{(3+5\text{i})}{3+5\text{i}}$ (On rationalising the denominator) $=\frac{3+5\text{i}}{3^2+5^2}$ $\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{3-5\text{i}}{9+25}$ So $\bar{\text{z}}=\frac{3-5\text{i}}{34}$ $=\frac{3}{34}+\frac{5}{34}\text{i}$

Find the modulus and argument of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in the polar form: $\frac{1}{1+\text{i}}$
Answer
$\frac{1}{1+\text{i}}$ Rationalising the denominator: $\frac{1}{1+\text{i}}\times \frac{1-\text{i}}{1-\text{i}}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1-\text{i}}{1-\text{i}^2}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1-\text{i}}{2}\ (\because\ \text{i}^2=-1)$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}-\frac{\text{i}}{2}$ $\text{r}=|\text{z}|$ $= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}}$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ Let $\tan\alpha=\bigg|\frac{\text{Im}\text{(z)}}{\text{Re}\text{(z)}}\bigg|$ $\therefore\tan\alpha=\Bigg|\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{-1}{2}}\Bigg|$ $=1$ $\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{\pi}{4}$ Since ponit $\Big(\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\Big)$ lies in the fourth quadrant, the argurment is given by $\theta=-\alpha =\frac{\pi}{4}$ Polar form $=\text{r}(\cos \theta + \text{i } \sin\theta )$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big\{\cos \big(\frac{-\pi}{4}\big)+\text{i }\sin\big(\frac{-\pi }{4}\big)\big\}$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big(\cos \frac{\pi}{4}-\text{i }\sin\frac{\pi }{4}\big)$

Question 283 Marks
Show that $1+\text{i}^{10}+\text{i}^{20}+\text{i}^{30}$ is a real number.
Answer
$1+\text{i}^{10}+\text{i}^{20}+\text{i}^{30}=1+\text{i}^{4\times2}\times\text{i}^2+\text{i}^{4\times5}+\text{i}^{4\times7}\times\text{i}^2$ $=1+1\times\text{i}^2+1+1\times\text{i}^2$ $=1-1+1-1$$=0,$ which is real number.

Find the modulus and argument of the following complex numbers and hence express each of them in the polar form: $\sin120^\circ-\text{i}\cos120^\circ$
Answer
$\sin120^\circ-\text{i}\cos120^\circ$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{\text{i}}{2}$ $\text{r}=|\text{z}|$ $=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}}$ $=1$ Let $\tan\alpha=\bigg|\frac{\text{Im}\text{(z)}}{\text{Re}\text{(z)}}\bigg|$ Then, $\tan\alpha=\Bigg|\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\Bigg|$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{\pi}{6}$ Since point $\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\frac{1}{2}\Big)$ lies in the fourth quadrant, the argurment s given by $\theta=\alpha =\frac{\pi}{6}$ Polar form $=\text{r}(\cos \theta + \text{i } \sin\theta )$ $=\cos\frac{\pi}{6}+\text{i }\sin\frac{\pi}{6}$

Question 303 Marks
Find the square root of the following complex numbers: $-11-60\sqrt{-1}$
Answer
Let $\text{z}=11-60\sqrt{-1}$ $\Rightarrow\text{z}=-11-60\text{i} \ (\therefore \ \sqrt{-1}=\text{i})$ Then, $|\text{z}|=\sqrt{(-11)^2+(-60)^2}$ $=\sqrt{121+3600}$ $=\sqrt{3721}$ $=61$ $\therefore\sqrt{-11-60\text{i}}=\pm\Bigg\{\sqrt{\frac{61-11}{2}}-\text{i}\sqrt{\frac{61+11}{2}}\Bigg\} \ (\because\text{y}<0)$ $=\pm\Bigg\{\sqrt{\frac{50}{2}}-\text{i}\sqrt{\frac{72}{2}}\Bigg\}$ $=\pm\{\sqrt{5}-6\text{i}\}$

Find the values of the following expressions: $\text{i}^{49}+\text{i}^{68}+\text{i}^{89}+\text{i}^{110}$
Answer
$\text{i}^{49}+\text{i}^{68}+\text{i}^{89}+\text{i}^{110}=\text{i}^{4\times12}\times\text{i}^1+\text{i}^{4\times17}+\text{i}^{4\times22}\times\text{i}^1+\text{i}^{4\times7}\times\text{i}^2$ $=1\times\text{i}+1+1\times\text{i}+1\times\text{i}^2$ $=\text{i}+1+\text{i}-1$ $=2\text{i}$$\therefore\text{i}^{49}+\text{i}^{68}+\text{i}^{89}+\text{i}^{110}=2\text{i}$

Question 333 Marks
Find the real values of $\theta$ for which the complex number $\frac{1+\text{i}\cos\theta}{1-2\text{i}\cos\theta}$ is purely real.
Answer
Let $\text{z}=\frac{1+\text{i}\cos\theta}{1-2\text{i}\cos\theta}$ $=\frac{1+\text{i}\cos\theta}{1-2\text{i}\cos\theta}\times\frac{1+2\text{i}\cos\theta}{1+2\text{i}\cos\theta}$ $=\frac{1+2\text{i}\cos\theta+\text{i}\cos\theta(1+2\text{i}\cos\theta)}{1^2+(2\cos\theta)^2}$ $=\frac{1+2\text{i}\cos\theta+\text{i}\cos\theta-2\cos^2\theta)}{1+4\cos^2\theta}$ $=\frac{1-2\cos^2\theta+3\text{i}\cos\theta}{1+4\cos^2\theta}$ $=\frac{1-2\cos^2\theta}{1+4\cos^2\theta}+\frac{3\cos\theta}{1+4\cos^2\theta}\text{i}$ We know that z is purely real if and on;y if Im z=0 $\therefore \ \frac{3\cos\theta}{1+4\cos^2\theta}=0$ $\big(\because$ z is given to be purely real $\big)$ $\Rightarrow3\cos\theta=0$ $\Rightarrow\cos\theta=0$ $\Rightarrow\cos\theta=\cos\frac{\pi}{2}$ $\therefore$ The general solution is given by $\theta=2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{2},\text{n}\in\text{z}$

Question 343 Marks
$\text{x}^6+\text{x}^4+\text{x}^2+1,$ when $\text{x}=\frac{1+\text{i}}{\sqrt{2}}.$
Answer
We have $\text{x}=\frac{1+\text{i}}{\sqrt{2}}$ $\Rightarrow\sqrt{2}\text{x}=1+\text{i}$ $\Rightarrow\sqrt({2}\text{x})^2=(1+\text{i})^2$ (squaring both sides) $\Rightarrow2\text{x}^2=1^2+(\text{i})^2+2\times1\times\text{i}$ $=1-1+2\text{i}$ $\Rightarrow2\text{x}^2=2\text{i}$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}^2=\text{i}$ $\Rightarrow(\text{x}^2)^2=(\text{i})^2$ (squaring both sides) $\Rightarrow\text{x}^4=-1$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}^4+1=0 \ ...(1)$ Now $\text{x}^6+\text{x}^4+\text{x}^2+1$ $=\text{x}^6+\text{x}^4+\text{x}^2+1$ $=\text{x}^2(\text{x}^4+1)+1(\text{x}^4+1)$ $=\text{x}^2\times0+1\times0$ (using(i)) $=0$
