Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze and solve the questions from the image systematically.
Question 1:
Given points and in the complex plane.
(a) Find the affix of such that forms a right isosceles triangle at :
- must satisfy the condition for the triangle to be right and isosceles, meaning:
- .
- The angle at is .
The affix of satisfies: Using the distances: Solve for .
(b) Construct :
- Use the affixes found in part (a) to determine the positions of , , and on the complex plane.
(c) Find the affix of , symmetric of with respect to the midpoint of :
- The midpoint of is: The symmetric point is:
Question 2:
is a right isosceles triangle, direct in . and are the affixes of and .
(a) Find the affix of in terms of and :
Since is direct and isosceles, the rotation of around by gives :
(b) Find the affix of in terms of and such that forms a parallelogram:
In a parallelogram:
Question 3:
Given , , and .
(a) Write in exponential form:
Convert into the exponential form by:
- Finding the modulus .
- Calculating the argument using .
(b) Deduce the nature of the triangle :
- Compute the lengths , , and .
- Use these to classify the triangle (e.g., isosceles, equilateral, or scalene).
