1. (1 pt) Determine whether the following statements are true

or false. Enter T for true and F for false.
1. Every complex number is a pure imaginary number.
2. The sum of two complex numbers is always a
complex number.
3. The imaginary part of the complex number 7 is 0.
4. The sum of two complex numbers is sometimes a
real number.

(correct)
4. (1 pt) There are only two complex arithmetic problems
on this set, since you have seen complex numbers before. This
one is a little involved, however. You may want to make judicious use of a calculator or a symbol manipulation language
like Maple. Of course there is a reason for the fancy real and
imaginary parts, and your final expression for z5 will tell you
that reason. Remember that WeBWorK expects your answers to
be within one tenth of one percent of the answer that it has been
given.

complex conjugate of a complex number z is written with a bar

over it: z and read as z bar.
Notice that if z = a + ib, then
(z) (z) = |z|2 = a2 + b2
which is also the square of the distance of the point z from the
origin. (Plot z as a point in the complex plane in order to see
this.)
and |z| =
.
If z = 2 6i then z =
You can use this to simplify complex fractions. Multiply the
numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator to make the denominator real.

Two convenient functions to know about pick out the real and
imaginary parts of a complex number.
Re(a + ib) = a (the real part (coordinate) of the complex
number), and
Im(a + ib) = b (the imaginary part (coordinate) of the complex
number. Re and Im are linear functions now that you know
about linear behavior you may start noticing it often.
