MTH5103 Complex Variables

Week 1 Practice Exercies

These exercises are for your daily practice.

1. Prove Proposition 1 from the Lecture Notes, Week 1.


z1
2. Let z1 = 5 + i, z2 = 3 − i. Calculate z1 z2 , , z1 z̄2 .
z2
3. Use the definition of complex conjugation to prove z1 z2 = z̄1 z̄2 .

4. Why is <z ≤ |z|? Is it true that <z + =z ≤ |z| (why or why not)?

5. Calculate the fifth roots of unity, i.e., find z ∈ C such that z 5 = 1.

6. Fill in the diagrams for each of the four examples in the Lecture Notes, Week 1.
In particular,

(a) Example 1: Graph z1 = 1 + i and z2 = 2 − i on the complex plane as well as


z1 + z2 , z1 z2 , and z2−1 . Verify that z1 + z2 represents vector addition in R2 .
(b) Example 2: Pick a point z on the unit circle in the first quadrant of the
1
complex plane C. Where should be? Use the discussion in this example to
z
1
interpret for values z inside and outside the unit circle.
z
(c) Example 3: Let w = 1. Draw the nth roots of w for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. How
do your diagrams change if w 6= 1?
(d) Example 4: Verify that the four values we obtain in modulus-argument form
for k = 0, 1, 2, 3 indeed correspond
√ to the listed points ±(1 ± i) and graph
these on the circle of radius 2, as we did in class.
