Complex Numbers Worksheet

1. This document discusses solving complex number equations. It involves finding roots of equations in the form of ire^θ, sketching loci on an Argand diagram, and determining the intersection points of two circles. 2. One problem involves sketching an Argand diagram showing points Z, W, and P representing complex numbers z, w, and z+w, and showing they form a square. It also involves finding an equation for tan(θ). 3. Another problem involves sketching two circles on an Argand diagram, finding the length and complex representations of their intersection points A and B, and determining the perpendicular bisector equation of line segment AB.
