QUESTION 1: COMPLEX NUMBERS [40 MARKS]
1.1Evalute in rectangular form. [10]
Z1 = 1 +j2 , Z2 = 4 – j3 ,Z3 = -2+j3 , Z4 = -5-j
1.1.1 Z1+ Z2 – Z3 (2)
1.1.2 Z1Z3+ Z4 (3)
𝑍𝑍1 𝑍𝑍3
1.1.3 (5)
𝑍𝑍1 +𝑍𝑍3
1.2 Evaluate each of the following using De Moivre's theorem and
express each result in rectangular form: [10]
1.2.1) Find (a) the product Z1 Z2 ,(b) the quotient Z1 / Z2 , and (c) the
quotient Z2 / Z1 where Z1 = 2(cos 300° + jsin 300°) and Z2 = 8(cos210° +
jsin 210°). (5)
(−5−2𝑗𝑗)4
1.2.2) (5)
(3+4𝑗𝑗)3
1.3 Solve for x and y: [12]
1.3.1) (2 − 𝑗𝑗3) = �(𝑥𝑥 + 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗) (6)
1.3.2) (𝑥𝑥 − 𝑗𝑗2𝑦𝑦) + (𝑦𝑦 − 𝑗𝑗3𝑥𝑥) = 2 + 𝑗𝑗3 (6)
1.4 Express 5+j12 in polar form and hence evaluate the principal value
3
of �5 + 𝑗𝑗12 (cube roots), giving the results in the form 𝑎𝑎 + 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗 and in the
form 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗 . [8]
QUESTION 2: DETERMINANTS [ 25 MARKS]
2.1) Use determinants to solve the following simultaneous equations [10]
(9 + 𝑗𝑗12)𝑥𝑥 − (6 + 𝑗𝑗8)𝑦𝑦 = 5 + 𝑗𝑗0
−(6 + 𝑗𝑗8)𝑥𝑥 + (8 + 𝑗𝑗3)𝑦𝑦 = (2 + 𝑗𝑗4)
2.2) Use determinants to solve the following simultaneous equations:
[15]
3𝑥𝑥 + 2𝑦𝑦 − 2𝑧𝑧 − 16 = 0
4𝑥𝑥 + 3𝑦𝑦 + 3𝑧𝑧 − 2 = 0
2𝑥𝑥 − 𝑦𝑦 + 𝑧𝑧 = 0
