What is the exponential form of a complex number? | z=re^iθ (r is modulus, θ is argument) |
What is Euler's relation? | e^iθ = cosθ + i sinθ |
re^iθ x ge^ix = | rge^i(θ+x) (multiply modulus, add argument) |
re^iθ / ge^ix = | (r/g)e^i(θ-x) (divide modulus, minus argument) |
What is De Moivre's theorem? | (r(cosθ+isinθ))^n = r^n (cos(nθ)+isin(nθ)) |
How do you use De Moivre's to show that sin(nθ) or cos(nθ) = some expansion involving powers of sinθ or cosθ | Expand (cosθ+isinθ)^n using both the binomial expansion and De Moivre's. Equate real parts for cos or imaginary parts for sin. Use trig identities to finish the question |
z + 1/z = | 2 cosθ |
z - 1/z = | 2i sinθ |
2 cosθ = | z + 1/z |
2i sinθ = | z - 1/z |
z^n + 1/z^n = | 2 cos(nθ) |
z^n - 1/z^n = | 2i sin(nθ) |
2 cos(nθ) = | z^n + 1/z^n |
2i sin(nθ) = | z^n - 1/z^n |
How do you make (cosθ)^n or (sinθ)^n into the sum of non-exponential cos/sin (i.e. 20cos5θ + 3cos3θ + ...) (De Moivre's) | Use the [2cosθ = z + 1/z] or [2isinθ = z - 1/z] identity and raise it to the relevant power. Expand both sides.

How do we work out the sum of a complex series? | Make everything into exponentials. Use reg. maths formulae. The fraction will be over something including e^iθ, so times the num. and den, by e^-i(0.5)θ. You should now have a [z +- 1/z] which you can replace with trig. Replace other e's with trig |
For any sum of a complex series, what do the real and imaginary parts equal? | Re = cosθ + cos2θ + cos3θ + ... Im = sinθ + sin2θ + sin3θ + ... |

How do we solve an equation z^n = a + bi ? | Rewrite a + bi into the mod-argument form. Replace [cosθ+isinθ] with [cos(θ+2kπ)+isin(θ+2kπ)]. Do root n of both sides. If n=4, sub in k=0,1,2,3 to find all your solutions (etc) |
When you find the nth roots of a complex number what is special about the roots? | They form each vertex of a regular n-gon with centre (0,0). |
If given one complex vertex of a shape, how can you find the rest? | Keep multiplying the exponential form of the vertex by 2π/(no. sides) |
How can we use the method of differences to find the sum of a series? | Get it in a form where you have the f(r) - f(r+1). Expand the sum and you should be able to cancel all expect the first and last term |
