1a) 7 + 2i b) –6 + 6i c)  i d)  i
50 50 1189 1189

2a) |z| = 25


b)
Im Im |z| = 25
arg(z) = 63.4 arg(z) = -63.4

Re Re

z = 25 (cos 63.4 + i sin 63.4) z = 25 (cos(-63.4) + i sin(-63.4))

c) Im |z| = 52 Im |z| = 89


arg(z) = 98.1 arg(z) = -122

Re Re

z = 52 (cos 98.1 + i sin 98.1) z = 89 (cos(-122) + i sin(-122))

3a) –12 + 16i b) 7489.3 + 27688.6i c) 223220.7 – 319206i

d) 1.8 + 1.1i e) 1.5 + 0.6i f) –0.8 + 9.4i

4) 3, -2  i

5)a) proof b) 2 - i c) 2  i, -1  i
