Let z1=−3−2i and z2=4+6i.
a) Express them in Cartesian, trigonometric and exponential form.
b) Compute zˉ1z2 and z2zˉ1.
c) Write the complex function f(z) that translates 3 downward, then 3 to the right, then rotates by 3π clockwise.
Solution
a)∣z1∣=13, argz1≈213,7∘: z1=13(cos213,7∘+isin213,7∘)=13ei3,729. ∣z2∣=52=213, argz2≈56,31∘: z2=213ei0,983.
b)zˉ1=−3+2i, so zˉ1z2=(−3+2i)(4+6i)=−24−10i; z2zˉ1=16+36(−3+2i)(4−6i)=5226i=21i.
c) Downward translation: z−3i; to the right: z+3−3i; clockwise rotation by 3π: multiplication by e−iπ/3:
f(z)=e−iπ/3(z+3−3i).zˉ1z2=−24−10i,z2zˉ1=21i,f(z)=e−iπ/3(z+3−3i)
