Problem 1. (3 points) Let z1 = 1 + 2i and z2 = 2 − i. Calculate the following
two quantities.
z1 z2 /(1 + z1 ) |z1 − z2 |
Show, by drawing a parallelogram in the complex plane involving |z1 | and |z2 |, that
|z1 − z2 | represents the distance between z1 and z2 . Write any complex numbers in
a + bi form.

Solution: For the first one, we get

(1 + 2i)(2 − i) 2 + 4i − i + 2
=
1 + (1 + 2i) 2 + 2i

For the second one, we get

Problem 2. (3 points) Prove that 2 sinh(x) cosh(x) = sinh(2x).

Solution: Starting from the left side, we get

2 sinh(x) cosh(x) = 2 · 21 (ex − e−x ) · 21 (ex + e−x )

= 21 (e2x + ex e−x − ex e−x − e−2x )
= 21 (e2x − e−2x )
= sinh(2x),

which is the desired right side.

Problem 3. (5 points) Determine the exact value of sin arcsec − 25 . You must

include a sketch as part of your answer. Hints:

• The domain and range of arcsec(x) are (−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞) and [0, π2 ) ∪ ( π2 , π],
respectively.
• Your sketch should include a right triangle which will greatly help in finding
the final answer.

Solution: Let θ = arcsec(−5/2). Then sec(θ) = −5/2 < 0, which implies that
θ must be in either the second or third quadrant. However, taking into account
the range of arcsec means that θ must be in the second quadrant (measured
counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis). We may write sec(θ) as hypotenuse
divided by adjacent, and since the hypotenuse is to be positive, its value is 5
while the adjacent side is −2. The Pythagorean Theorem then implies that
the opposite side satisfies

(−2)2 + (opp)2 = 52 .
√ √
This results in the opposite side being either 21 or − 21. In the second
quadrant, sine is positive. Sine is also equal to opposite divided by hypotenuse,
so since the hypotenuse is positive, so too must the opposite side be positive.
Therefore, √

Problem 4. (5 points) Solve the integral √ dx.
2x2 + 10

Solution: Start by splitting the integral into two pieces:

4x − 1
Z Z Z
4x 1
√ dx = √ dx − √ dx.
2x2 + 10 2x2 + 10 2x2 + 10
For the first one, let u = 2x2 + 10 so that du = 4x dx. In the second one, factor
the denominator:
p √ p √ √ q
2x2 + 10 = 2 x2 + 5 = 2 5 ( √x5 )2 + 1.
√
This allows us to make the substitution w = √x so that 5 dw = dx. Thus,

Problem 5. (4 points) Find if arcsinh(x) arcsin(x) − y 2 = y sin(x). Leave
dx
your answer in terms of both x and y.

Solution: Use implicit differentiation:

1 1 dy dy
arcsinh(x) · √ + arcsin(x) · √ − 2y = y cos(x) + sin(x).
1 − x2 1 + x2 dx dx
Move some terms around to obtain
dy dy arcsinh(x) arcsin(x)
2y + sin(x) = √ + √ − y cos(x).
dx dx 1 − x2 1 + x2

All that remains is to factor out the term and divide:

For the first one, make the substitution u = 2x2 + 25 to obtain 4 du = x dx.
For the second one, factor the denominator:
 √ 
2 2x 2
2x + 25 = 25 ( 5 ) + 1 .
√
Then we may use w = 52x to get √52 dw = dx. Thus,

The absolute-value symbols were removed from the logarithm because the ar-
gument is always positive.
