Fundamentals of Complex Analysis With Applications to Engineering and Science

In summary, the conversation is about a person who ordered their textbook late and is asking for help with some questions from the book. They mention finding the 3rd edition of the book in their campus library and list several questions that they need help with. The questions involve showing that certain points are the vertices of equilateral and right triangles, describing sets of points in the complex plane, and proving equations involving complex numbers. The person also wishes the other person good luck on their RfA (Request for Adminship).

Text: Fundamentals of Complex Analysis With Applications to Engineering and Science by E.B. Saff and A.D. Snider

I only ordered my textbook last week (yeah... I know), so I don't think it will get to me before my homework is due. Would some kind soul with this book please post these questions? I would be very appreciative.

1.2. #5, 6, 7, 13, 16

Please do not help me with these questions; I prefer to work entirely on my own.

I'll find the 3rd edition in my campus library tomorrow.

5. Show that the points 1, [tex]-\frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{1}{2} - i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex] are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

6. Show that the points 3 + i, 6 and 4 + 4i are the vertices of a right triangle.

7. Describe the set of points z in the complex plane that satisfy each of the following:
a) I am z = -2
b) |z - 1 + i| = 3
c) |2z - i| = 4
d) |z - 1| = |z + i|
e) |z| = Re z + 2
f) |z - 1| + |z + 1| = 7
g) |z| = 3|z - 1|
h) Re z [tex]\ge[/tex] 4
i) |z - i| < 2
j) |z| > 6

13) Prove that if [tex](\overline{z})^2 = z^2[/tex], then z is either real or purely imaginary.

16) Prove that if |z| = 1 (z [tex]\ne[/tex] 1), then Re[1/(1 - z)] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Good luck on your RfA (I won't vote).
