    PROBLEM SET 1

    √
    Throughout the problem set, i = −1; and whenever we write α + βi, it is implicit that α, β ∈ R.

    1. Determine the values of the following (without the aid of any electronic devices).
    (a) (1 + i)20 − (1 − i)20 .
    (b) cos 41 π + i cos 34 π + · · · + in cos( 2n+1 40 81
    4 )π + · · · + i cos 4 π.
    (c) 1 + 2i + 3i2 + · · · + (m + 1)im where m is divisible by 4.

    2. Use the exponential form of cos θ and sin θ to show the following.
    (a) Show that
    n!
    1 + n cos θ + · · · + cos rθ + · · · + cos nθ = (2 cos 12 θ)n cos 12 nθ.
    r!(n − r)!
    Prove that, as n → ∞, the series converges to 0 if 32 π < θ < 43 π.
    (b) If sin θ = α sin(θ + β), where α and β are real constants, prove that
    1 − αe−iβ
    e2iθ = .
    1 − αeiβ
    Hence prove that

    n=1
    State the range of values of α for which the series is valid.

    3. Express the roots of the equation z 7 − 1 = 0 in the form cos θ + i sin θ. Hence show that the
    roots of the equation
    u3 + u2 − 2u − 1 = 0
    are
    2π 4π 6π
    2 cos , 2 cos , 2 cos ,
    7 7 7
    and find the roots of
    8w3 + 4w2 − 4w − 1 = 0.

    4. (a) Find all possible values of ii . Express your solutions in the form α + βi.
    (b) Find all values of θ ∈ [0, 2π) for which the following limit exists
    iθ
    lim ere .
    r→∞

    5. Let a0 , . . . , a4 ∈ R. Suppose the polynomial equation


    a4 z 4 + ia3 z 3 + a2 z 2 + ia1 z + a0 = 0
    has a root given by z = α + βi. Find another root of the equation. Your answer should only
    depend on α, β.
