This can be calculated by using the formula twice, firstly to multiply out the first two sets of parentheses, 

\n

and then to multiply the result of that calculation by the third set of parentheses.

\n

So we obtain:
\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} (\\var{a})(\\var{z1})(\\var{z3})&=&((\\var{a})(\\var{z1}))(\\var{z3})\\\\ &=&(\\var{a*(z1)})(\\var{z3})\\\\ &=&\\var{a*(z1)*(z3)} \\end{eqnarray*} \\]

Division of two complex numbers can be performed by mutiplying both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.
Suppose that \\[ z = \\frac{a+bi}{c+di},\\;\\; c+di \\neq 0\\] then we have:

Although this is a formula for the inverse, the best way to find these complex numbers is to remember to multiply top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator.

Finding the modulus and argument (in radians) of four complex numbers; the arguments between $-\\pi$ and $\\pi$ and careful with quadrants!

"}, "variablesTest": {"condition": "", "maxRuns": 100}, "advice": "

Note that the arguments $\\theta$ of the complex numbers are in radians and have to be in the range $-\\pi < \\theta \\le \\pi$.

\n

You have to be careful with using a standard calculator when you are finding the argument of a complex number.

\n

If $z=a+bi=r(\\cos(\\theta)+i\\sin(\\theta))$ then we have:$r\\cos(\\theta)=a,\\;\\;r\\sin(\\theta)=b$ and so $\\tan(\\theta) = b/a$.

\n

Using a calculator to find the argument via $\\arctan(b/a)$ works in the range $-\\pi < \\theta \\le \\pi$ when the complex number is in the first or fourth quadrants – you get the correct value.

\n

However, The calculator gives the wrong value for complex numbers in the other quadrants.

\n

Complex number in the Second Quadrant.

\n

Since $\\arctan(b/a)$ does not distinguish between the second and fourth quadrants and the calculator gives the argument for the fourth quadrant you have to add $\\pi$ onto the calculator value.

\n

Complex number in the Third Quadrant.

\n

Since $\\arctan(b/a)$ does not distinguish between the first and third quadrants and the calculator gives the argument for the first quadrant you have to take away $\\pi$ from the calculator value.

\n

a)Modulus.

\n

\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} |\\var{z1}|&=&\\sqrt{(\\var{a1})^2+(\\var{b1})^2}\\\\ &=& \\var{abs(z1)}\\\\ &=&\\var{ans1} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

Argument.

\n

Hence we see that: \\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\arg(\\var{z1}) &=& \\var{arg(z1)}\\\\ &=& \\var{arg1}\\; \\mbox{radians} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

b)Modulus.

\n

\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} |\\var{z2}|&=&\\sqrt{(\\var{a2})^2+(\\var{b2})^2}\\\\ &=& \\var{abs(z2)}\\\\ &=&\\var{ans2} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

Argument.

\n

Hence we see that: \\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\arg(\\var{z2}) &=& \\var{arg(z2)}\\\\ &=& \\var{arg2}\\; \\mbox{radians} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

c)Modulus.

\n

\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} |\\var{z3}|&=&\\sqrt{(\\var{c2})^2+(\\var{d2})^2}\\\\ &=& \\var{abs(z3)}\\\\ &=&\\var{ans3} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

Argument.

\n

Hence we see that: \\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\arg(\\var{z3}) &=& \\var{arg(z3)}\\\\ &=& \\var{arg3}\\; \\mbox{radians} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

d)Modulus.

Find modulus and argument of two complex numbers. Then use De Moivre's Theorem to find positive powers of the complex numbers.

"}, "variablesTest": {"condition": "", "maxRuns": 100}, "advice": "

Given a complex number $z=r(\\cos(\\theta)+i\\sin(\\theta))$ de Moivre's theorem states that $z^n=r^n(\\cos(n\\theta)+i\\sin(n\\theta))$ for an integer power $n$.
So if we know the modulus $r$ and the argument $\\theta$ for $z$ then the theorem provides a way of calculating $z^n$.

\n

As usual, you must be careful that the argument is calculated correctly by paying attention to the quadrant of the complex plane in which the complex number lies.

\n

Also remember that for this question, arguments of complex numbers lie in the range $-\\pi \\lt \\theta \\le \\pi$.

\n

With the above in mind we can now answer the questions:

\n

a)

\n

Modulus

\n

\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} |\\var{z1}|&=&\\sqrt{(\\var{a1})^2+(\\var{b1})^2}\\\\ &=& \\var{abs(z1)}\\\\ &=&\\var{ans1} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

Note that $r^{\\var{n2}}=|(\\var{z1})^{\\var{n2}}| =\\var{abs(z1)}^{\\var{n2}}=\\var{abs(z1)^n2}$ which we will use in the calculation for $(\\var{z1})^{\\var{n2}}$

\n

Argument

\n

{m1}.
Hence we see that:
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\arg(\\var{z1}) &=& \\var{arg(z1)}\\\\ &=& \\var{arg1}\\; \\mbox{radians} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

We have $\\arg((\\var{z1})^{\\var{n2}})=\\var{n2}\\times \\var{arg(z1)} = \\var{n2*arg(z1)}$ radians.

\n

Hence we have \\[\\begin{eqnarray*}(\\var{z1})^{\\var{n2}} &=& \\var{abs(z1)^n2}(\\cos(\\var{n2*arg(z1)})+\\sin(\\var{n2*arg(z1)})i)\\\\ &=& \\var{abs(z1)^n2}\\cos(\\var{n2*arg(z1)})+\\var{abs(z1)^n2}\\times\\sin(\\var{n2*arg(z1)})i\\\\ &=& \\simplify[std]{{a3}+{b3}i}. \\end{eqnarray*} \\] 

\n

b)

\n

Modulus

\n

\\[ \\begin{eqnarray*} |\\var{z2}|&=&\\sqrt{(\\var{a2})^2+(\\var{b2})^2}\\\\ &=& \\var{abs(z2)}\\\\ &=&\\var{ans2} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

Note that $r^{\\var{n4}}=|(\\var{z2})^{\\var{n4}}| =\\var{abs(z2)}^{\\var{n4}}=\\var{abs(z2)^n4}$ which we will use in the calculation for $(\\var{z2})^{\\var{n4}}$

\n

Argument

\n

{m2}.
Hence we see that:
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\arg(\\var{z2}) &=& \\var{arg(z2)}\\\\ &=& \\var{arg2}\\; \\mbox{radians} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places.

\n

We have $\\arg((\\var{z2})^{\\var{n4}})=\\var{n4}\\times \\var{arg(z2)} = \\var{n4*arg(z2)}$ radians.

We have $\\arg((\\var{z2})^{\\var{n4}})=\\var{n4}\\times \\var{arg(z2)} = \\var{n4*arg(z2)}$ radians.

\n

Hence we have \\[\\begin{eqnarray*}(\\var{z2})^{\\var{n4}} &=& \\var{precround(abs(z2)^n4,6)}(\\cos(\\var{n4*arg(z2)})+\\sin(\\var{n4*arg(z2)})i)\\\\ &=& \\var{precround(abs(z2)^n4,6)}\\cos(\\var{n4*arg(z2)})+\\var{precround(abs(z2)^n4,6)}\\times\\sin(\\var{n4*arg(z2)})i\\\\ &=& \\simplify[std]{{a4}+{b4}i} \\end{eqnarray*} \\] to 3 decimal places for real and imaginary parts.
