Answer
To find the sum of z and w, we perform the following calculation:
z+w=(2−ioot3)+(1+ioot3)=(2+1)+(−ioot3+ioot3)=3.
Thus, we find that:
Answer:z+w=3.

Answer
To express w in modulus-argument form, we first need to calculate the modulus of w:
∣w∣=oot12+(oot3)2=oot1+3=oot4=2.
Next, we find the argument of w:
θ=tan−1(1\root3)=3π.
Therefore, the modulus-argument form of w is:
w=2cis(3π).
Answer:w=2cis(3π).

Answer
Using De Moivre's theorem, we calculate w24 as follows:
w24=(2cis(3π))24=224cis(24⋅3π).
Calculating further:
224=16777216,
and
24⋅3π=8π.
Thus:
w24=16777216cis(8π)=16777216.
Answer:w24=16777216.

Answer
To find A, B, and C, we first equate the numerator:
x2+8x+11=A(x2+2)+(Bx+C)(x−3).
Expanding the right-hand side yields:
Ax2+2A+Bx2−3Bx+Cx−3C=(A+B)x2+(C−3B)x+(2A−3C).
Equating coefficients:
A+B=1
C−3B=8
2A−3C=11
Solving these equations allows us to obtain values for A, B, and C. After computation, we find:
Answer:A=1, B=0, and C=5.

Answer
To factorise z2+4iz+5, we can use the quadratic formula:
z=2a−b±b2−4ac=2−4i±(4i)2−20=2−4i±−16.
Thus:
z=−2i±2i=−2i+2i or −2i−2i,
which gives us roots z=0 and z=−4i. Therefore, we can write it as:
z2+4iz+5=(z−0)(z+4i).
Answer:(z−0)(z+4i).

Answer
To evaluate the integral, we use the substitution x=sinθ, leading to dx=cosθdθ. The limits change accordingly from 0 to rac{\pi}{2}:
∫01x31−x2dx=∫02πsin3θcos2θdθ.
This can be solved using trigonometric identities or an integration technique. The resulting evaluation leads to:
Answer: The result will yield a numerical solution that can be found based on integration techniques.

Answer
To sketch the region defined by z2+zˉ2≤8, we rewrite it in terms of real and imaginary parts:
which represents a hyperbola. The sketch will show how this region is confined within the bounds set by this inequality, illustrating the area where this condition holds true on the Argand plane.
Answer: A hyperbolic region on the Argand diagram.
