1. Solve in the set $\mathbb { C }$ of complex numbers the equation (E) with unknown $z$ : $$z ^ { 2 } - 8 z + 64 = 0$$ The complex plane is equipped with a direct orthonormal reference frame $( \mathrm { O } ; \vec { u } , \vec { v } )$. 2. We consider the points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }$ and C with affixes respectively $a = 4 + 4 \mathrm { i } \sqrt { 3 }$, $b = 4 - 4 \mathrm { i } \sqrt { 3 }$ and $c = 8 \mathrm { i }$. a. Calculate the modulus and an argument of the number $a$. b. Give the exponential form of the numbers $a$ and $b$. c. Show that the points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B }$ and C lie on the same circle with center O whose radius will be determined. d.

For the rest of the exercise, you may use the figure from question 2. d. completed as the questions progress. 3. We consider the points $\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } , \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime }$ and $\mathrm { C } ^ { \prime }$ with affixes respectively $a ^ { \prime } = a \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \frac { \pi } { 3 } } , b ^ { \prime } = b \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \frac { \pi } { 3 } }$ and $c ^ { \prime } = c \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \frac { \pi } { 3 } }$. a.

For the rest we admit that $a ^ { \prime } = - 4 + 4 \mathrm { i } \sqrt { 3 }$ and $c ^ { \prime } = - 4 \sqrt { 3 } + 4 \mathrm { i }$. 4. We admit that if $M$ and $N$ are two points in the plane with affixes respectively $m$ and $n$ then the midpoint $I$ of the segment $[ M N ]$ has affix $\frac { m + n } { 2 }$ and the length $M N$ is equal to $| n - m |$. a. We denote $r , s$ and $t$ the affixes of the midpoints respectively $\mathrm { R } , \mathrm { S }$ and T of the segments $\left[ \mathrm { A } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { B } \right] , \left[ \mathrm { B } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { C } \right]$ and $\left[ \mathrm { C } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { A } \right]$. Calculate $r$ and $s$. We admit that $t = 2 - 2 \sqrt { 3 } + \mathrm { i } ( 2 + 2 \sqrt { 3 } )$. b. What conjecture can be made about the nature of triangle RST? Justify this result.
We want to model in the plane the shell of a nautilus using a broken line in the form of a spiral. We are interested in the area delimited by this line. We equip the plane with a direct orthonormal coordinate system $(O; \vec{u}; \vec{v})$. Let $n$ be an integer greater than or equal to 2. For all integer $k$ ranging from 0 to $n$, we define the complex numbers $z_k = \left(1 + \dfrac{k}{n}\right) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\frac{2k\pi}{n}}$ and we denote by $M_k$ the point with affix $z_k$. In this model, the perimeter of the nautilus is the broken line connecting all the points $M_k$ with $0 \leqslant k \leqslant n$. Part A: Broken line formed from seven points In this part, we assume that $n = 6$. Thus, for $0 \leqslant k \leqslant 6$, we have $z_k = \left(1 + \dfrac{k}{6}\right) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\frac{2k\pi}{6}}$.
Determine the algebraic form of $z_1$.
Verify that $z_0$ and $z_6$ are integers that you will determine.
Calculate the length of the altitude from $M_1$ in the triangle $OM_0M_1$ then establish that the area of this triangle is equal to $\dfrac{7\sqrt{3}}{24}$.
Part B: Broken line formed from $n+1$ points In this part, $n$ is an integer greater than or equal to 2.
For all integer $k$ such that $0 \leqslant k \leqslant n$, determine the length $OM_k$.
For $k$ an integer such that $0 \leqslant k \leqslant n-1$, determine a measure of the angles $(\vec{u}; \overrightarrow{OM_k})$ and $(\vec{u}; \overrightarrow{OM_{k+1}})$. Deduce a measure of the angle $(\overrightarrow{OM_k}; \overrightarrow{OM_{k+1}})$.
For $k$ an integer such that $0 \leqslant k \leqslant n-1$, calculate the area of the triangle $OM_kM_{k+1}$ as a function of $n$ and $k$.
If $z$ is a complex number of unit modulus and argument $\theta$, then $\arg\left(\frac{1+z}{1+\bar{z}}\right)$ can be equal to (given $z \neq -1$) (1) $\theta$ (2) $\pi - \theta$ (3) $-\theta$ (4) $\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta$
Answer the following questions. (1) When we express the complex number $8 + 8\sqrt{3}i$ in polar form, we have $$\mathbf{MN}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{\mathbf{O}} + i\sin\frac{\pi}{\mathbf{P}}\right).$$ (2) Consider the complex numbers $z$ that satisfy $z^4 = 8 + 8\sqrt{3}i$ in the range $0 \leqq \arg z < 2\pi$. We see that $|z| = \mathbf{Q}$. There are 4 such complex numbers $z$. When these are denoted by $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$ in the ascending order of their arguments, we have $$\arg\frac{z_1 z_2 z_3}{z_4} = \frac{\pi}{\mathbf{R}}.$$ (3) Consider the complex numbers $w$ that satisfy $w^8 - 16w^4 + 256 = 0$ in the range $0 \leqq \arg w < 2\pi$. There are 8 such complex numbers $w$. Let us denote them by $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4, w_5, w_6, w_7, w_8$ in the ascending order of their arguments. Then four of these coincide with numbers $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$ in (2). That is, $$w_{\mathbf{S}} = z_1, \quad w_{\mathbf{T}} = z_2, \quad w_{\mathbf{U}} = z_3, \quad w_{\mathbf{V}} = z_4.$$ Also, we have that $w_1 w_8 = \mathbf{W}$ and $w_3 w_4 = \mathbf{XY}$.
$$z = 1 + i\sqrt{3}$$ Which of the following is this complex number equal to? A) $2\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{6} + i\sin\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$ B) $2\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{6} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$ C) $2\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{3} + i\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$ D) $4\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{3} + i\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$ E) $4\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{3} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$
