Step 1: Express ZZ in the form x+yix+yi.
Given Z=5+i2+3iZ = \frac{5+i}{2+3i}. To express this in the form x+yix+yi, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of 2+3i2+3i is 2−3i2-3i.

Z=5+i2+3i×2−3i2−3iZ = \frac{5+i}{2+3i} \times \frac{2-3i}{2-3i} Z=(5+i)(2−3i)(2+3i)(2−3i)Z = \frac{(5+i)(2-3i)}{(2+3i)(2-3i)}

Expand the numerator:

(5+i)(2−3i)=5(2)+5(−3i)+i(2)+i(−3i)(5+i)(2-3i) = 5(2) + 5(-3i) + i(2) + i(-3i) =10−15i+2i−3i2= 10 - 15i + 2i - 3i^2

Since i2=−1i^2 = -1:

=10−13i−3(−1)= 10 - 13i - 3(-1) =10−13i+3= 10 - 13i + 3 =13−13i= 13 - 13i

Expand the denominator using the difference of squares formula (a+b)(a−b)=a2−b2(a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2:

(2+3i)(2−3i)=22−(3i)2(2+3i)(2-3i) = 2^2 - (3i)^2 =4−9i2= 4 - 9i^2

Since i2=−1i^2 = -1:

=4−9(−1)= 4 - 9(-1) =4+9= 4 + 9 =13= 13

Now substitute the expanded numerator and denominator back into the expression for ZZ:

Z=13−13i13Z = \frac{13 - 13i}{13} Z=1313−13i13Z = \frac{13}{13} - \frac{13i}{13} Z=1−iZ = 1 - i

Part a· 1 step

The complex number ZZ in the form x+yix+yi is 1−i\boxed{1-i}.

  1. Show that Z=2(cos⁡π4−isin⁡π4)Z = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\right).

    From part (a), we have Z=1−iZ = 1 - i.
    To express a complex number x+yix+yi in polar form r(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)r(\cos\theta + i\sin\theta), we find the modulus r=x2+y2r = \sqrt{x^2+y^2} and the argument θ=arctan⁡(yx)\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) (adjusted for quadrant).
    For Z=1−iZ = 1 - i, we have x=1x=1 and y=−1y=-1.
    Calculate the modulus rr:

    r=12+(−1)2r = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} r=1+1r = \sqrt{1+1} r=2r = \sqrt{2}

    Calculate the argument θ\theta:
    Since x=1x=1 (positive) and y=−1y=-1 (negative), ZZ lies in the fourth quadrant.
    The reference angle α\alpha is given by tan⁡α=∣yx∣=∣−11∣=1\tan\alpha = \left|\frac{y}{x}\right| = \left|\frac{-1}{1}\right| = 1.
    So, α=π4\alpha = \frac{\pi}{4}.
    For a complex number in the fourth quadrant, θ=−α\theta = -\alpha.

    θ=−π4\theta = -\frac{\pi}{4}

    Now substitute rr and θ\theta into the polar form r(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)r(\cos\theta + i\sin\theta):

    Z=2(cos⁡(−π4)+isin⁡(−π4))Z = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + i\sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right)

    Using the trigonometric identities cos⁡(−θ)=cos⁡θ\cos(-\theta) = \cos\theta and sin⁡(−θ)=−sin⁡θ\sin(-\theta) = -\sin\theta:

    Z=2(cos⁡π4−isin⁡π4)Z = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\right)

Part b· 1 step

We have shown that Z=2(cos⁡π4−isin⁡π4)Z = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\right).

  1. By equating the form in (a) to that in (b), show that cos⁡π4=12\cos\frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.

    From part (a), Z=1−iZ = 1 - i.
    From part (b), Z=2(cos⁡π4−isin⁡π4)Z = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\right).
    Equate the two expressions for ZZ:

    1−i=2(cos⁡π4−isin⁡π4)1 - i = \sqrt{2}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - i\sin\frac{\pi}{4}\right) 1−i=2cos⁡π4−i2sin⁡π41 - i = \sqrt{2}\cos\frac{\pi}{4} - i\sqrt{2}\sin\frac{\pi}{4}

    For two complex numbers to be equal, their real parts must be equal and their imaginary parts must be equal.
    Equating the real parts:

    1=2cos⁡π41 = \sqrt{2}\cos\frac{\pi}{4}

    Divide by 2\sqrt{2}:

    cos⁡π4=12\cos\frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Part c

We have shown that cos⁡π4=12\boxed{\cos\frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}.
