Do not use a calculator in answering this question.

  1. Showing your working, find the complex numbers \(z\) and \(w\) which satisfy the simultaneous equations
    \(2iz+\left( 1-2i \right)w=4\)
    \(\left( 1+i \right)z+\left( 2+i \right)w=3\)[6]
  2. List item image
    The points \(A\) and \(B\) on the Argand diagram represent the complex numbers \({{w}_{1}}\) and \({{w}_{2}}\) respectively.
    1. On the copy of the Argand diagram in the Printed Answer Booklet, plot the point \(C\) to represent the complex number \({{w}_{3}}\), where \({{w}_{3}}={{w}_{1}}+{{w}_{2}}\). Show clearly the geometrical relationship between the points \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\).[2]
      The points \({A}'\), \({B}'\) and \({C}'\) represent the complex numbers \(\mathbf{i}\,{{w}_{1}}\), \(\mathbf{i}\,{{w}_{2}}\) and \(\mathbf{i}\,{{w}_{3}}\) respectively.
    2. On the same Argand diagram in the Printed Answer Booklet, plot the points \({A}'\), \({B}'\) and \({C}'\). State the transformation that maps the points \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) onto the points \({A}'\), \({B}'\) and \({C}'\).[2]
    3. The transformation in part (ii) maps point \({A}'\) onto the point \({A}''\). Determine, with justification, whether \({A}''\) represents the complex conjugate of \({{w}_{1}}\).[1]

Answer:(a) \(z=\dfrac{1-3\mathrm{i}}2\), \(w=\dfrac{3+\mathrm{i}}5\) (b)(i) \(C\) represents \(w_1+w_2\) and \(OBCA\) is a parallelogram (b)(ii) Rotation through \(\dfrac\pi2\) anticlockwise about \(O\) (b)(iii) No, because \(A''\) represents \(-w_1\), not \(w_1^*\)
