True/False or Multiple-Statement Verification
Exercise 4 — For candidates who have NOT followed the specialization courseThe plane is referred to an orthonormal direct coordinate system $( \mathrm { O } , \vec { u } , \vec { v } )$.
Let $\mathbb { C }$ denote the set of complex numbers.
For each of the following propositions, state whether it is true or false by justifying the answer.
1. Proposition: For every natural number $n$ : $( 1 + \mathrm { i } ) ^ { 4 n } = ( - 4 ) ^ { n }$.
2. Let (E) be the equation $( z - 4 ) \left( z ^ { 2 } - 4 z + 8 \right) = 0$ where $z$ denotes a complex number.
Proposition: The points whose affixes are the solutions, in $\mathbb { C }$, of (E) are the vertices of a triangle with area 8.
3. Proposition: For every real number $\alpha , 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 i \alpha } = 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \alpha } \cos ( \alpha )$.
4. Let A be the point with affix $z _ { \mathrm { A } } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } ( 1 + \mathrm { i } )$ and $M _ { n }$ the point with affix $\left( z _ { \mathrm { A } } \right) ^ { n }$ where $n$ denotes a natural number greater than or equal to 2.
Proposition: if $n - 1$ is divisible by 4, then the points O, A and $M _ { n }$ are collinear.
5. Let j be the complex number with modulus 1 and argument $\frac { 2 \pi } { 3 }$.
Proposition: $1 + \mathrm { j } + \mathrm { j } ^ { 2 } = 0$.
