Wants to merge their version, Ulrich's copy of Arithmetics of complex numbers V .

In part d) the expected answer should be {i^rem} not {i^n} because the latter, while "mathematically" the same, leads to floating point number issues when revealing the answers (it shows something like, e.g., "Expected answer 1 - 5047/2104i*10^(-12)" instead of "1" (in case rem==4).

I hope that this is the appropriate way to submit this comment.

$z=(\var{z1})^{\var{c1}}(\var{conj(z1)})^{\var{c1}}$

$z=\;\;$ Unnamed gap

Advice

Note that for a complex number $z=a+bi$ we have:

$z\overline{z}=|z|^2=a^2+b^2$ .

But since $\var{conj(z1)}=\overline{\var{z1}}$ we have:

$\begin{eqnarray*}z&=&(\var{z1})^{\var{c1}}(\var{conj(z1)})^{\var{c1}}\\ &=&((\var{z1})(\var{conj(z1)}))^{\var{c1}}\\ &=&\simplify[]{({re(z1)}^2+{im(z1)}^2)^{c1}}\\ &=&\var{(re(z1)^2+im(z1)^2)^c1} \end{eqnarray*}$

Note that $(\var{z2})^4=((\var{z2})^2)^2$ .

Since $(\var{z2})^2=\simplify[std]{{z2^2}}$ we have:

$(\var{z2})^4=(\simplify[std]{{z2^2}})^2=\simplify[std]{{z2^4}}$

c)
We have

$\begin{eqnarray*} z&=&(\var{z3})^{\var{-d1}}\\ &=&\frac{1}{(\var{z3})^{\var{d1}}}\\ &=&\frac{(\var{conj(z3)})^{\var{d1}}}{(\var{z3})^{\var{d1}}(\var{conj(z3)})^{\var{d1}}}\\ &=&\frac{\var{conj(z3)^d1}}{\var{abs(z3)^(2*d1)}}\\ &=&\simplify[std]{{re(conj(z3^d1))}/{(abs(z3)^(2*d1))}+({im(conj(z3^d1))}/{round(abs(z3)^(2*d1))})*i} \end{eqnarray*}$
d)
We have

$i^2=-1,\;\;i^3=-i,\;\;i^4=1$ .

So if $n=4m+r,\;\;0\le r\le 3$ we have

$i^n=i^{4m+r}=(i^4)^m \times i^r=i^r$
Hence since

$\var{n}=4\times\var{m}+\var{rem}$ we have:

$i^{\var{n}}=i^{\var{rem}}=\simplify{{i^rem}}$
