Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
(x+2i)^2 = x^2 + 4xi - 4
Since it is real then Im(z^2) = 0
so 4x = 0
x = 0
Hence z = 2i
So let z = x + 2i
(x+2i)^2 = x^2 + 4xi - 4
Since it is real then Im(z^2) = 0
so 4x = 0
x = 0
Hence z = 2i
Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
I cant get the answer.. the answer is +- (2+i)
how about if re(z) is 2Im(z) and z^2-4i is real
I cant get the answer.. the answer is +- (2+i)

Prove the ellipses:
^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{(kx + y)^2}{b^2} = 1)
where k is an arbitrary real number
have the same area as the ellipse

Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
Letting the value of the solution to x = cos(x) be r, the following area expressions are obtained through integration:
A₁ = sin(r) - r²/2
A₂ = 1 - sin(r) + r²/2
A₂ - A₁ = 1 - 2sin(r) + r²
r > sin(r) (proof is trivial and left as an exercise)
- 2sin(r) > - 2r
1 - 2sin(r) + r² > 1 - 2r + r² = (1-r)² > 0
A₂ - A₁ > 0
A₂ > A₁

Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
Change to polar form, apply de Moivre's theorem, done. For all of them.

Realise the denominator and use De Moivre's at the end to get the n in 2ntheta

Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
Appreciate some help with this: Find the range of values of |z| and arg(z) for |z-4-4i|=2sqrt(2)

Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
Sketch the locus of z and note that the modulus and argument of z use the join of the origin to a point on the circle.

What is the modulus and argument of z in this case? I got an answer that was different to the one in the textbook.

Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon
Find an expression for cos^4x in terms of cos4x and cos2x
Edit: The question is from terry lee so I'm guessing it implies that you use 4U complex techniques rather than 3U, I'm not sure if you can even use 3U for this...
