  2. What is the definition of a complex number?
  3. Graph the following complex numbers and find their modulus:
    1. $5 + 5i$
    2. $-3 - 2i$
    3. $i$
    4. $\dfrac{-\sqrt{2} + i\sqrt{2}}{2}$
    5. $\sqrt{3} + i$
  4. Sketch the following sets in the complex plane:
    1. $\left\{z = a + bi : a \leq 0, b \geq 0\right\}$
    2. $\left\{z = a + bi : a \geq 1, b > 1\right\}$
    3. $\left\{z : \lvert z \rvert = 3 \right\}$
    4. $\left\{z : \lvert z \rvert \geq 1\right\}$
    5. $\left\{z : 3 \leq \lvert z \rvert \leq 6 \right\}$
  5. Write the complex number in polar form with argument $\theta$ between $0$ and $2\pi$.
    1. $1 + i$
    2. $- \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2}i$
    3. $-3 + 3i$
    4. $1 + i$
    5. $4$
    6. $-2i$
    7. $-3$
    8. $-\sqrt{3} - i$
  6. Given two complex numbers $z_1$ and $z_2$ in polar form, find $z_1z_2$ and $z_1/z_2$ in polar form.
    1. $z_1 = 3 \left(\cos \dfrac{\pi}{3} + i \sin \dfrac{\pi}{3} \right)$
      $z_2 = 2 \left(\cos \dfrac{\pi}{6} + i \sin \dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)$
    2. $z_1 = \sqrt{3}\left(\cos \dfrac{5\pi}{6} + i \sin \dfrac{5\pi}{6}\right)$
      $z_2 = 2(\cos \pi + i \sin \pi)$
    3. $z_1 = 4 (\cos 120^\circ + i \sin 120^\circ)$
      $z_2 = 2(\cos 30^\circ + i \sin 30^\circ)$
    4. $z_1 = \sqrt{2}(\cos 75^\circ + i \sin75^\circ)$
      $z_2 = 3\sqrt{2}(\cos 60^\circ + i \sin 60^\circ)$
  7. Multiply the two complex numbers $z_1 = \sqrt{3} + i$ and $z_2 = 1 + \sqrt{3}i$ in two different ways:
    1. Expanding the factors $z_1z_2$
    2. Convert $z_1$ and $z_2$ to polar and multiply in polar. Also convert your answer back to $a + bi$ and check to see if it is the same numbers as in part (a).
  8. Multiply the following:
    1. $(-\sqrt{3} + i)^6$
    2. $(1 - i)^{10}$
    3. $(1 + i)^7$
    4. $\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}i\right)^{12}$
  9. (skip this) What is the difference between a plane curve and a parametric equation?
