This exam contains 3 pages (including this cover page) and 5 problems. Check to see if any pages
are missing. Enter all requested information on the top of this page, and put your initials on the
top of every page, in case the pages become separated.

You may not use your books or notes on this exam.

You are required to show your work on each problem on this exam. The following rules apply:

Unless otherwise stated in the question, all

1. (3 marks) Use De Moivres theorem to prove that cos 2 = cos2 sin2

Solution:

(cos + i sin )2 = (cos2 + i sin 2) [1 mark]

2 2
= c + 2isc s [1 mark]
cos 2 = cos2 sin2 [1 mark]

2. (4 marks) On a sketch of an Argand diagram, shade the region whose points represent complex
numbers satisfying the inequalities |z 2 i| 1 and |z i| |z 2|

Solution: Show a point representing 2 + i in relatively correct position [1 mark]

Show a circle with centre 2 + i and radius 1 [1 mark]
Show the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining i and 2 [1 mark]
OR
Solve |z i| |z 2| to get y 2x 32
Shade the correct region [1 mark]

= 64 i64 3 [1 mark correct answer]

4. (5 marks) Use De Moivres Theorem to show that

1
zn + = 2 cos n
zn
where z = cos + i sin

Solution:
1 (cos n + i sin n)2 + 1
zn + n
=
z cos n + i sin n

=
c + is
c + 2ics (1 c2 ) + 1

c + is
2c2 + 2ics
=
c + is
= 2 cos n

5. (5 marks) Express 2 2 + 2i 2 in the form rei

(b) Use z 2 = 2 2 + 2i 2 to find the two square roots of 2 2 + 2i 2 in the form rei

Solution: show modulus = 4 [1 mark]

show argument = 4 [1 mark]
