STPM 2018 Term 1 Mathematics (T) Coursework Sample

STPM 2018 Term 1 Mathematics (T) Coursework PBS Assignment

STPM Coursework Sample Solution

Question

A complex number is an extension of a real number and it can be represented in Cartesian and polar
forms. In this assignment, you are required to explore the powers and roots of complex numbers.

1

(a) Let z =1+i. Find z^n, where n = 2, 3, 4, …, and represent the complex numbers on an Argand diagram.
(b) Rewrite z=1+i in polar form and repeat task (a).
(c) Comment on the methods used in (a) and (b).

2 Let z=r(cos pi/5+isin pi/5). Find z^n, where n = 2, 3, 4, …, with a value of r in each of the following cases:
(a) 0 (b) r>1.
Represent the complex numbers on an Argand diagram and comment on your results.

3. Find the n complex numbers which satisfy the equation z^n=a+bi, for n>3 and represent them on an Argand diagram in each of the following cases:
(a) a<>0, b=0,
(b) a=0, b<>0,
(c) a<>0, b<>0.
State the conjugate pairs of the roots, if any.

Solution

Please check with your teacher for all the requirements. All sample below are for reference only.

Question 1 (a)

Question 1 (b)

Question 1 (c)

Both methods (a) and (b) are suitable for small value of n when finding z^n. For n is large, polar form will be more suitable to explore the power of complex numbers. Actually polar form is more suitable to find powers of complex number because of the de Moivre’s theorem. We can express z^n easily by using de Moivre’s theorem.

Question 2 (a)

Modulus of z^n decrease as n increase. Each higher power is pi/5 rad further along and closer to 0. Five powers are displayed. It forms a spiral and this spiral is called an exponential spiral.

Question 2 (b)

Modulus of z^n increases as n increase. Each higher power is pi/5 rad further along and further to 0. Five powers are displayed. It forms a spiral and this spiral is called an exponential spiral.

Question 3 (a)

You can try to modify the value of b. Example, use b<0, or any other numbers.

Question 3 (b)

You can try to modify the value of a. Example, use a<0, or any other numbers.

Extra sample of Argand digram with n=6 and n=7

Question 3 (c)

You can try to modify the values of a and b. Example, use a<0, b>0 or any other numbers.

      From observation.

      It is like 2=x, if you call x=2, or 2=2x, if you call x=1. It depends on how you define it. you can write any expression if your teacher wants it.
