Complex number help!

Hi there,
Thankyou so much for hoping by to help :)
I'm struggling with the questions below and would really appreciate an in-depth solution/explanation.

1) Find all solutions of (z-3-i)^3 = 27
2) Describe and sketch the set of complex numbers satisfying the conditions (/z/-1)(/z/-2)<=0 and Im(z)>0

Thanks again!

1.


(z-3-i)^3 = 27

hence (z-3-i) = 3 * e^(i theta), where 3theta = 2npi, where n is an element of Z. (not z, but Z)
hence z = 3+i + 3*e^(i theta), where 3theta = 2npi, where n is an element of Z. (not z, but Z)

Question 1.
Firstly, let \(z_a=z-3-i\): (we will be using subscript \(a\) to avoid confusion)

Here's where you'll apply De Moivre's Theorem, which gives us:

Then, substitute the values for \(k\): (\(k=0,1,2\))


You should then get the following equations:

You should be familiar with converting to rectangular form, but if not, here's a refresher:

And since \(z_a=z-3-i\), we can now substitute the values we have found for \(z_a\) into the original equation, so that we will obtain solutions for \(z\) :

Therefore, the solutions are as follows:


Question 2.
\((|z|-1)(|z|-2)\leq0\) and \(Im(z)>0\)


\(Im(z)>0\) just signifies that the required region is to the right of the imaginary (\(y\)-axis) axis. This will be useful when sketching later.


\((|z|-1)(|z|-2)\leq0\) can be rewritten as \((\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-1)(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-2)\leq0\)


From that, it can be derived that the two equations are circles of radius 1 and radius 2 respectively.

The required region would be between the \(x\)-values 1 and 2, as shown below.
