Solutions and Remarks for Homework Section 1.4, page 31 _______________________________________________________________________ #5. |e^z| = |e^(x+iy)| = e^x |e^(iy)| = e^x, since e^x is a real number |e^x|=e^x and |e^(iy)|=|cos(y)+i sin(y)|=1. arg(e^z) = tan^(-1)(sin(y)/cos(y)) + 2k pi = tan^(-1)tan(y)=2kpi =y+2kpi. #17. Take an arbitrary point on the unit circle. Then, the coordinates of this point are z=(cos t, sin t)=cos t + i sin t = e^(it) for some central angle t \in [0, 2pi]. #20. In this problem the following identities are needed: a. sin^(2) u = (1 - cos 2u) / 2 b. sin u = (e^(iu) - e^(-iu)) / 2i which implies that c. sin u = e^(iu) (1 - e^(2iu)) / 2i d. sin u = e^(-iu) (e^(2iu) - 1) / 2i e. cos u = [e^(iu) + e^(-iu)/2 We need to compute the real part of [1-e^i(n+1)t]/[1-e^(it)]. To do so, we have to multiply the denominator by its conjugate [1 - e^(-it)]. After doing so and simplifying the denominator of the product will be 2(1-cos t) which, using identity (a) above with 2u=t) is equivalent to 4 sin^2 (t/2). Hence at this point you ahould have [1 - e^i(n+1)t] [1 - e^(-it)] / 4 sin^2 (t/2). Foil and simplify the numerator to get [(1 - e^(-it)) + e^(int) (1 - e^(it))] / 4 sin^2 (t/2) Now if you use identities (c) and (d) above with u=t, and simplify you will get the desired result.
