Hey, just a few questions from Cambridge 2.3; any help would be greatly appreciated.
5. On an Argand diagram the points P and Q represent the numbers z1 and z2 respectively. OPQ is an equilateral triangle. Show that z1^2 + z2^2 = z1z2
(could you please elaborate on the first step, because I have the answer to it, I'm just not sure how the teacher got it)
6. Show that | |z1| - |z2| | <or equal to |z1 + z2|
State the condition for equality to hold.
8. Show that | z1 + z2 + ... + zn | <or equal to |z1| + |z2| + ... + |zn|
Thanks
