In problem 9.

7, I will draw a picture of 2 cases & derive two


very similar results. First, the picture to work with will be
considered case 1 i

real

-
i

-
il
2
z = a ib

The center as given in the book is il/2 and z will be a point


on the ever growing outer circle, say a ib. Chi will remain
as the arc length on the unit circle to the same full angle
that leads to z so that = + /2; this following the
description of on pg 167. real of z = a = l/2cos() & the
imaginary of z = b = l/2sin() + l/2; so that
z = l/2cos() i(l/2sin() + l/2)
= l/2[(cos() isin()] il/2
= l/2(ei i)
Now, noting that = + /2 or /2 = , we have by
substitution & noting ei(/2) = i
z = l/2(ei( /2) i)
= l/2(ei()ei(/2) i)
= l/2(ei()i i)
= i l/2(ei() 1) which is the desired derivation.
Case 2: (Only the description of i
is changed)

real
-
i

-
il
2
z = a ib

z will still be as described above i.e. z = a ib. However, Chi


will be the arc length on the same growing circle as z is on;
so that = l/2( + /2). Hence, the same description for z:
z = l/2cos() i(l/2sin() + l/2)
= l/2[(cos() isin()] il/2
= l/2(ei i)
But, now noting that = l/2( + /2) or 2/l() /2 = , we
have by similar substitution & algebraic manipulation:
z = l/2(ei(2/l() /2) i)
= l/2(ei2/l()ei(/2) i)
= l/2(ei2/l()i i)
= i l/2(ei2/l() 1)
= i(ei 1) (where = 2/l)
which is a similar result just that is the arc length on the
circle whose circumference l .
