TEST 2. Complex Numbers (SOLUTIONS)

The document is a math test on complex numbers with 5 questions. Question 1 asks to solve a complex equation for z. Question 2 asks to find values of n such that (1 + 3i)^n is a real number. Question 3 gives a complex equation representing the vertices of a triangle and asks to find the other two roots and values of a, b, and c. Question 4 asks to solve a complex equation in modulus-argument form and Cartesian form. Question 5 has multiple parts asking to expand a complex expression, derive an identity, and solve a related equation.
