1. Complex Numbers: Rectangular and Polar Form

(a) For each of the following complex numbers in rectangular form below, identify Re{z} and Im{z}:
i. z = j4 1.3
ii. z = j5
(b) For each of the following complex numbers in polar form below, identify the magnitude component
|z| and the phase component z:
i. z = 3ej

ii. z = ej 3
(c) Using the unit circle or formulas for r and , convert the following complex numbers in to polar
form, z = rej . Make sure r > 0 and < :

i. z = 23 + j 12
ii. z = 1.5
(d) Using the complex plane or Eulers formula, convert the following complex numbers in to rectangular form, z = x + jy:
i. z = 2ej

ii. z = 5ej 2
2. Complex Numbers: Conjugation
(a) Using the definition of complex conjugates, find the complex conjugate z for each of the following
complex numbers:
i. z = 2 + j3
ii. z = j

iii. z = 3ej 3
(b) Using complex conjugation for dividing complex numbers, simplify the expression for each of the
following complex numbers:
i. z =
ii. z =

1
1+j2 .
1+j2
1j2 .

(c) Using the method of complex conjugation for finding magnitude, find the magnitude squared
component |z|2 for:
i. z = 1 j3.
ii. z = 2ej3 .
3. Calculus: Integration
(a) Evaluate the following integral:

R
3

e6t dt +

R0

e6t dt.

R6
(b) Evaluate the integral t2 d .
Note: is the variable of integration and t can be treated as a constant.

(c) Suppose

(d) Suppose

Rx

x(t)dt = 3. Using this known integral and u-substitution, evaluate

x(2t)dt.

x(t)dt = 2, where x(t) is a function of t, t is the variable of integration, and x can

R x1
2x(t + 1)dt.

be treated as a constant. Using u-substitution, evaluate

R t+2
(e) Consider x( to )d , where is the variable of integration and t and to can be treated as
Ra
constants. Using u-substitution, we can rewrite this integral as x(u)du. What is a in terms
of t and t0 ?
