TUTORIAL: Complex Number & Vectors
1. Find the real and imaginary parts of the following quantities:
a. (2- i)3 b. eπi/2
2. Express the following complex numbers in the form reiθ:
a. 4 - √2i b. π + ei
3. Express the following complex numbers in the form x+iy:
a. 6e2πi/3
4. Use the formula of De Moivre, to derive the trigonometric identities
sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ
sin3θ = 3sinθ- 4sin3θ
5. Evaluate the value of ii.
6. Find the length of the vector r = xi+ yj + zk and of the vector v = 2i - j + 3k.
7. Prove that A · B = 0 if A and B are perpendicular to each other.
8. Show that the vector r = 2i - 3k lies entirely in a plane perpendicular to the y axis.
9. Find the angle between the two vectors A = -i + 2j + k and B = 3i - j + 2k.
10. Determine C =A x B given that A = -i + 2j + k and B = 3i- j + 2k. What is B x A
equal to?
