(c) State the geometric effect of multiplying z1 and z2 by \omega . [2 marks]

9709/32/M/J/25q3 – Mark Scheme

On an Argand diagram shade the region whose points represent complex numbers z which satisfy both the inequalities \vert z - 3i \vert \leq 2 and \frac{1}{4} \pi \leq arg(z-1-2i) \leq \frac{3}{4} \pi [5 marks]

9709/32/M/J/25q5 – Mark Scheme

The square roots of -1-4 \sqrt{5} i can be expressed in the Cartesian form x + iy, where x and y are real and exact.

By first forming a quartic equation in x or y, find the square roots of -1 - 4 \sqrt{5} i in exact Cartesian form. [5 marks]

It is given that z_1 = r_1 e^{i \theta _1} and z_2 = r_2 e^{i \theta _2} .

Show that (z_1 z_2 )^{*} = z_1^{*}z_2^{*} . [3 marks]

(b) z = 3e^{ \frac{1}{4} \pi i} is a root of the equation z2+bz+c = 0, where b and c are real.

State the other root and hence find the values of b and c. [3 marks]
