Help Checking a Complex Numbers Problems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around checking various complex number problems, with several participants providing answers and corrections. The first two problems regarding the real and imaginary parts of a complex number and the principal argument were confirmed correct. Doubts were expressed about the argument in problem three, but later consensus acknowledged the correct approach using trigonometric identities. The fourth problem's answer was simplified to i, while the fifth was confirmed correct. Participants emphasized the importance of clear formatting for complex equations to facilitate better assistance.

Hello, here with some complex number questions which I need some assistance in checking :)

1)
z=3+5i1+3iz=3+5i1+3i
Find Re(z) and Im(z)
My answer is 9595 and −25−25 respectively.

Checked by Wolfram
2)
Find principal argument of the complex numberz=−5+3iz=−5+3i and express it in radians up to 2 decimal places
My answer is 2.60

Checked by Wolfram
3)
z=sin(8t)+i(1−cos(8t))z=sin(8t)+i(1−cos(8t))
Find arg(z) and mod(z) in terms in t
Since mod(z) is just the root of a square + b square, the answer is as follows.
As for arg(z),

My answer is 4t and √((sin(8t))2+((1−cos(8t)2)((sin(8t))2+((1−cos(8t)2)

4)
Let z be complex number with Re(z) = 1/2 and mod z = 1
Evaluate (1+iz)(1+¯¯¯z2)1−i¯¯¯z(1+iz)(1+z¯2)1−iz¯

My answer is 12-9i

6)
Find z that satisfies z2+7¯¯¯z=0
1567163262063.png


z2+7z¯=0
My answer is 72+7√32i72+732i

7)
Suppose z is a non-zero complex number satisfying (8+i)z=(8−i)¯¯¯z(8+i)z=(8−i)z¯ Find ratio of Im(z)/Re(z)
1567152847485.png

My answer is -1/8

8)
If z = a+ib, and is a solution to z2−z+4=0z2−z+4=0 , find a and b
My answer is 0.5 and √152152

Please include the intermediate steps.
WolframAlpha can do a lot of these checks directly.
 
1 and 2 seem correct to me.
for 3 I have my doubts about arg(z)
for 4 I found the expression to be simpy i.
5 seems correct to me.

Updated 4 and 3 with workings :)
 
Glad we agreed for 4. Easiest way to do it if you know the relations that ##z+\bar{z}=2Re(z)## and ##z\bar{z}=|z|^2## without the need to calculate the imaginary part of z.

For 3 seems you were correct afterall, I completely forgot that trigonometric identity .
7 seems also correct to me.

You should repost the statement and work on 6 cause something is wrong there...

I find your typed formulas to be incomprehensible. There are many unbalanced parentheses, run-on formulas that I can't tell if they are new equations, etc. If you want serious help, then you should make a better effort to make your questions readable.

Yep I understand. For some reason, whenever I try to edit some of the stuff below, the equations in the area above seems to glitch out and repeats itself :/ Not sure what is happening.
