MAth P3 A2 help.....
« on: May 15, 2009, 04:34:52 pm »
The complex number
2/-1 +i  is denoted by u.



(i) Find the modulus and argument of u and u^2. [6]



(ii) Sketch an Argand diagram showing the points representing the complex numbers u and u^2. Shade
the region whose points represent the complex numbers z which satisfy both the inequalities |z|<2
and |z-u^2| < |z-u|. [4]



please can someone answer part 2 for me!!! i dont understand!!  ??? :'( :'(

IzI<2 is a circle at origin with radius 2

and then substitute the value of u and u^2 at both side.it should be a perpendicular bisector between both if i'm not mistaken

Candy,
For l Z l <2, you have to draw a circle of radius 2. But the circumference line must be dotted and it means   the radius is not equal to 2 but less than 2.

From point U ( -1,-1) to U² (0, 2),join these two points. Draw a perpendicular bisector of this line
until it meets the circle at 2 points,namely  Z  and  Z1.
Finally, shade the area of the sector Z U2 Z1. Plz refer to the attachment.
