Problem Set # 2

Problem ( 1 ) Show that for every complex number z,

Re(iz) = −Im(z).

Problem ( 2 ) If z is a complex number with Re(z) > 1, show that 0 < Re(1/z) < 1.

Problem ( 3 ) What is to follow may or may not be of use but is anyway true. Let z 1 = a + ib and z 2 = c + id; a, b, c and d real. Consider the corresponding vectors which we will regard as 3–component vectors with the third component zero:

−→ W 1 = 〈a, b, 0 〉 −→ W 2 = 〈c, d, 0 〉

Show that both the real and imaginary parts of z 1 z 2 can be expressed in terms of the usual vector and scalar products of

W 1 and

W 2.

Problem ( 4 ) Let

A = 〈a, b〉 denote a two–component vector and ˆα = 〈cos α, sin α〉 a two–component unit vector. Recall the usual formula/definition of vector projection

Projαˆ(

A ) = (

A · αˆ)ˆα.

Let us identify

A with the complex number z = a + ib and, similarly, ˆα will be represented by eiα. Derive a formula for the corresponding complex number that represents Projαˆ(

A ) in terms of z, z and eiα.

Problem ( 8 ) Show that |z| ≤ |Re(z)| + |Im(z)| ≤

2 |z|.

Problem ( 9 ) Let a 0 , a 1 ,... an denote real constants and suppose that z is a solution to the equation

a 0 + a 1 z + ... + anzn^ = 0.

Show that ¯z is also a solution to this equation.

Problem ( 10 ) Write the complex number

e1+3iπ e−1+i^ π 2

in the form a + ib with a and b real.

Problem ( 11 ) Write the complex number ee i

in the form a + ib with a and b real.

Problem ( 12 ) Write the complex number

(1 + i)^6

in the polar form reiθ.

Problem ( 16 ) Let z be any complex number with modulus one except z = 1: |z| = 1, z 6 = 1. Show that

Re

1 − z

Problem ( 17 ) Let α denote an mth^ root of unity and β an mth^ root of unity (where, of course, m and n are integers). Show that the product is a kth^ root of unity for some integer k.

Problem ( 18 ) Find all solutions to the equation

z^4 =

z 5 + 3i

(You may express your solution in terms of some particular angle, ϕ, whose cosine you know.)

  • Problem ( 19 ) Find all solutions to the equation z^5 = (z + 1)
