Solve all questions.

1. (a) Express all values of the expression (1 − i) 3 in both polar and Cartesian coor- [7]
dinates, and plot them.

(b) i. Find the complex number z such that Re( 2+i ) = 5 ∧ |z − 2| = |2i − z̄|
ii. Express this complex number in exponential form and plot it in the z−plane
using the principal argument.
Re(z)
(c) Sketch Im(z) = 1 such that |z| ≤ 1
2. Describe and draw the sets of points in the plane R2 such that: [4]

1. Imz > Rez + 1 3. |z| = Imz + 1


2. |z|2 = 2Imz + 3 4. 2(Rez)2 + (Imz)2 ≤ 4

3. (a) For the mapping w = z 2 sketch the image of the line x = −2 in the uv−plane. [6]

(b) For the mapping w = z
sketch the image of the line y = x−2 in the uv−plane.

4. Consider the function f (z) = ( z̄z )2. [5]


(a) Show that f (z) = 1 along the real axis.
(b) Show that f (z) = 1 along the imaginary axis.
(c) Show that f (z) = −1 along the line y = x.
(d) Thus deduce that the limit of f (z) does not exit as z tends to 0.

5. Let f denote the function whose values are [6]

(a) Determine ∆z
at each nonzero point on the real and imaginary axes in the ∆z
or ∆x∆y plane.

(b) Determine ∆z
at each nonzero point (∆x, ∆x) on the line ∆y = ∆x in that
plane (Figure 1).
(c) Conclude from these observations that f ′ (0) does not exist.

6. Consider the function f (z) = ex eiy . [2]


(a) Show that f ′ (z) exits for all z (use the Cauchy-Riemann equations).
(b) Hence find f ′ (z).
