  1. Question 1

    For z = x + iy the modulus r equals:

    • Ax + y
    • Bsqrt(x^2 + y^2)
    • Cx^2 + y^2
    • Dsqrt(x^2 - y^2)
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    r = |z| = sqrt(x^2 + y^2).

  2. Question 2

    In polar form y equals:

    • Ar cos(theta)
    • Br tan(theta)
    • Cr sin(theta)
    • Dr / sin(theta)
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    x = r cos(theta) and y = r sin(theta).

  3. Question 3

    cos(theta) + i sin(theta) is written in short as:

    • Ae^theta
    • Bcis(theta)
    • Ci theta
    • De^(-i theta)
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    cis(theta) = cos(theta) + i sin(theta).

  4. Question 4

    Euler's formula states that e^(i theta) equals:

    • Acos(theta) + i sin(theta)
    • Bcos(theta) - i sin(theta)
    • Csin(theta) + i cos(theta)
    • D1 + i theta
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    e^(i theta) = cos(theta) + i sin(theta).

  5. Question 5

    The principal argument of a complex number lies in the interval:

    • A[0, 2pi)
    • B(-pi, pi]
    • C(-pi/2, pi/2)
    • D[0, pi]
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The principal argument satisfies -pi < arg z <= pi.
