Complex Function Evaluation and Algebraic Manipulation
Questions that ask to evaluate a complex-valued function at a specific complex input or perform algebraic operations (conjugate, powers, products) to simplify a complex expression to a specific form.
Let $z \in \mathbb{C}$. We set $z = a + ib$, where $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$. Deduce that $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left(1 + \frac{z}{n}\right)^n = e^z$$
Let $z$ be a complex number, with real part $x$ and imaginary part $y$, such that $(x,y) \notin \mathbb{R}^{-} \times \{0\}$. We denote $$\theta(z) = 2\arctan\left(\frac{y}{x + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}\right) \quad \text{and} \quad R(z) = \frac{z + |z|}{\sqrt{2(\operatorname{Re}(z) + |z|)}}$$ Determine $[R(z)]^2$, $\theta \circ R(z)$ and $|z|^{1/2}\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta(z)/2}$ as functions of $z$, $R(z)$ and $\theta(z)$.
Let $A = \left\{ \theta \in ( 0,2 \pi ) : \frac { 1 + 2 i \sin \theta } { 1 - i \sin \theta } \right.$ is purely imaginary $\}$ Then the sum of the elements in $A$ is (1) $4 \pi$ (2) $3 \pi$ (3) $\pi$ (4) $2 \pi$
