Complex Number Questions PDF

1) The document provides 4 practice questions on complex numbers for an upcoming lecture. The first question involves solving an equation for complex roots and sketching them on an Argand diagram. The second question involves finding values of n for which two complex numbers are equal, sketching the numbers on an Argand diagram, and deducing an equation based on their argument. 2) The third question asks to sketch two loci on an Argand diagram - a circle with center (1,-1) and radius 2, and another locus. It also asks to find the points of intersection, their distance, and the equation of the perpendicular bisector between them, explaining why it must pass through the circle's center. 3
