Hi guys,
My teacher gave our class a big booklet of mixed homework questions to help us prepare for our exams, I am finding some difficult questions for me:
1. Solve z^2+4z-1+12i.

2. The region R of the argand diagram consists of the set of al values of z such that both 0 less than Re(z^2) less than 3 and 0 less than Im(z^2) less than 4 hold true. Draw a sketch of the ragion R, showing coordinates of vertices.

3. binomial expansion of (z-1/z)^5 for which I got z^5+5z^3+10z+10/z+5/z^3+1/z^5 which Im fairly sure is right, then it says express sin^5theta in the form asin5theta+bsin3theta+csintheta, and bit after that says hence solve 16sin^5theta=sin5theta, which im not sure how to do.
I know u use demoivres thing but I just cant algebraically fet the asin5theta.... thing, I keep stuffing up.

4.prove for any polynomial P(x), if alpha is zero of multiplicity 2, then alpha is also a zero of p'(x)

Iirc then u go y=(x-alpha)^2Q(x)+R(x),
then p'(x)=2(x-alpha)Q(x)+R'(x) or something, but yea im sure thats wrong, I remember doing a question like this before but forgot what im missing.And finally it says "Hence facorise polynomial P(x)=x^6-7x^4+8x^2+16.


5. When monic cubic polynomial divided by x^2+x+1, remainder=2x+3, when polynomial divided by x(x+3), remainder 5(x+1), find the polynomial.

6. P and Q two points on ellipse x^2/9+y^2/4=1, parameters theta and theta+pi/2 respectively, find coordinates of point of intersection T of the tangents to the ellipse at points P and Q"
I got x coord. as being (6costh-6sinth)/2, is that right?

the first one doesnt make sense i think :/ should it be solve z^2 .... =0?
have you tried quadratic formula?

HAHAH god I cant believe I forgot about that hahaha :') thanks for reminding me! :p

Btw ive encountered a further question, "Sketch xy=4, marking clearly positions and coordinates of all points at which the hyperbola intersects the axes of symmetry". Is that just the symmetry in y=x? cos then the point + or - (2,2) lies on y=x so does that satisfy this question? or is there another axis of symmetry i dont know about?

You think The Rock was just going to walk in and do your homework?


Post your working and you'll get some feedback.

Well I wrote out what I thought I had to do. Ive scribbled tonnes of working, no way I can put it all onto computer.
Ive just outlined what I think has to be done, and in some cases I have no idea what to do.

Q2 is easy, what dont you understand? Just let z=x+iy and proceed.
0< x^2 < 3
-sqrt3 < x < sqrt 3

0 < y^2 < 4
-2 < y < 2

Then just sketch it as you normally would do for a cartesian plane i guess.
i think this is right, not entirely sure, my complex numbers are getting a bit rusty.
