Find a in terms of b. It might help if you think of it in terms of the unit circle. =S

So if b is the angle theta, then what would the angle a be, in terms of theta?

This is clear from the unit circle since you can see that rotating a line by 180 degrees doesn't change its gradient.

lulz, I'm terrible at explaining.

The period of tan function is .

, where tan b is in first quadrant, tan a is in third.

Since its period is ,if we add , the value of tan will still be the same.

Ok, I think I get it. All this unit circle stuff is really confusing. Thank you cipherpol, Lighties and kamil :)

it's asking to basically find the set of all complex numbers such that their squares are in S. So like for instance is such a number since its square is: which satisfies the conditions since the magnitude is and .

Your task for part i.) is to find all such complex numbers.
