1. Write the following sets as an interval or union of interval. In each case x ∈ <.
a) A= x : x 6= 0 ∧ x 6= 8
b) B= x : x2 (x2 − 1) 6= 0
c) B=x : x2 = 2 ⇔ x ≥ −1
d) C=x : (x3 − 2x) 6= 0
e) C=x : (x − 2)(x + 3) = 0 ⇒ x ≥ 0

11 Write sin 4θ and cos 4θ in terms of sin θ and cos θ.(Hint: Use (cos θ + i sin θ)4 )
1+α
13 If α = cos θ + i sin θ for 0 < θ < 2π, then show that 1−α
= i cot( 2θ ).
z
14 If z 6= −1 and Im(z) 6= 0, then show that (1+z)2
is areal if and only if z.z = 1
