Homework Equations
For the first question, I do not really know what equations to use. I tried writing it out in the form Z1 = a + ib, Z2 = c + id, etc, but that got me nowhere.
The second question has been troublesome for me too; I've written it out in exponential form, (e-in[itex]\theta[/itex]-ein[itex]\theta[/itex])/(e-i[itex]\theta[/itex]-ei[itex]\theta[/itex])
but I do not see how anything will follow from that, either.
The Attempt at a Solution
For the first question, my intuition tells me (well, it's probably just really obvious) that an equilateral triangle satisfies the equation. Showing this is.. fairly straightforward I guess, as they are just all equal to each other. However, I doubt that this is the entire question, there is more to it. Could you help me in the right direction?
For the second question, I am even more clueless. You have to understand that this is the 2nd week of my course in complex analysis, so we have covered hardly anything; we've only just done the elementary functions, some limits and continuity, nothing fancy at all. My first intuition was de moivre's theorem, but that doesn't apply to this either I guess. Again, if you could provide me with a simple hint, that would be amazing.
Kind regards
