1. Is it possible to find the conjugate of z=10i-10/-8-4i? I'm stuck on this part of my 1 paged working lol.

2a) Find all integers x and y such that (x+iy)^2=-3-4i where x and y are real numbers.

I've got y=+-2, x=-+1. Is this right?

b) Hence, or otherwise, solve the equation z^2-7z+13+i=0

3a) If z=x+iy, determine the values of Re(z^2-3z) and Im(z^2-3z).

Is it simply Re(z^2-3z)=x^2-3x and Im(z^2-3z)=y^2-3y? I don't think it would be that simple...

b) If z=1-i/2+1, show that Re(z+z^-1)=7/10

4a) Evaluate:

Arg[cis7pie/5], Arg[9pie/5]

Thanks :).

1)conjugate of z= conjugate of {10i-10/-8-4i]=conjugate of (10i-10)/conjugate of [-8-4i]- this is a rule

therefore, conjugate of z=-10-10i/-8+4i
=(-10-10i)(-8-4i)/(-8+4i)(-8-4i)
=40+120i/80
=1/2+3/2i

2) a.


b.


3)
a.



b.
