In this assignment, i stands for −1.

1. Find the real part, imaginary part, modulus and argument of the following
complex numbers: −2 − 4i, π + i, i2013 , ei .
2. Verify that multiplication by i is a 90-degree counter-clockwise rotation by
plotting z and iz on the Argand diagram, for (i) z = 2 + 5i, (ii) z = −1 − i.
3. Find the amplitude, frequency and phase of

cos(2πt) + cos(2πt + 1.5) + 2 cos(2πt + 2.5).
