Tutorial Sheet 1

1. Locate the numbers z1 − z2 and z1 + z2 vectorially where z1 = 2i and z2 = 32 + i.

2. Sketch the set of points determined by the given conditions

(a) ∣z − 1 + i∣ = 1
(b) ∣z + i∣ ≤ 3
(c) Re(z̄ − i) = 2
(d) ∣2z − i∣ = 4

3. Using the fact that ∣z1 − z2 ∣ is the distance between two points z1 and z2 . give
a geometric argument that,

(a) ∣z − 4i∣ + ∣z + 4i∣ = 10 represents an ellipse whose foci are (0,4) and (0,-4).
(b) ∣z − 1∣ = ∣z + i∣ represents the line through the origin whose slope is -1.

4. Simplify the following:

(a) (2 + i)2
√ √
(b) ( 2 − i) − i(1 − 2i)
(c) (3 + i)(3 − i)( 15 + 10i )
(d) 1+2i
3−4i + 2−i
5i

5. Show that
∣Re(2 − z̄ + z 3 )∣ ≤ 4 where ∣z∣ ≤ 1

6. Show that
1 1
∣ ∣≤ where ∣z∣ = 2
z4 − 4z + 3
2 3

7. Using the complex property of complex numbers show that the hyperbola x2 −
y 2 = 1 can be written as
z 2 + z̄ 2 = 2
