This assignment is a written assignment based on Study Guide 1, Chapters 4 and 5 and contributes 25% to
your year mark.

Pay attention to how you write down your answers. Your reasoning must be clear to the marker.

Question 1
Express the complex number z  3 45 in exponential form. (2)

Question 3
Find the square roots of the complex number x if x  3  4 j by using De Moivre’s theorem.

Answers in radians or degrees were accepted. In the exam the guideline is to work all answers in radians.
Finding roots or raising to a power is on your information sheet.
I find it easier to answer questions on complex numbers if I make an argand diagram.

Question 4

Different knowledge areas can be combined in a question. To answer you must know how to find
the value of a determinant and how to solve equations with complex numbers. The best approach
to answer the question is to start with what you know to do and build up your answer. The LHS is a
determinant and we know how to find the value, so that is the starting point.

Solve for x and y if

Question 5
Write down the radius and the co-ordinates of the center of the circle

 x  4   y  3  16 .

(0;4) and one vertex at (0;5). (4)
Put the given information on a sketch.

Question 7

Find the equation of the rectangular hyperbola if (3; - 4) is a point on the hyperbola.
General formula for the rectangular hyperpola: xy  k [ Refer to the study guide 1, Module 5
Learning unit 3]
Thus the equation is
xy  12 (3) (2)
