Let


So we are looking at a circle with center (0,2) and a radius of


Hope there aren't any mistakes and I hope that helps :)

Hey,

Probably a stupid question but where exactly did the go?

I constantly keep thinking it will be -1 but when I do that, it destroys my answers. Hence, when I've been doing these questions, I just blindly let the i 'disappear' without much thought into it.

Thanks

I remember wondering the same thing early last year too :D
Anyway, what we are doing is evaluating the modulus by squaring the coefficients of the real and imaginary parts, adding them and then rooting them, i.e. . i is not a coefficient, look at the argand diagram and it's basically using pythagoras' rule as we just want the "distance from the origin to the point". There is a diagram in the info for 4C in the essentials book regarding what I'm talking about above.  Hope that helps :)

Ah! I see I see!

Thanks for that and the 4C reference. :)

EDIT: I just realised even more what you meant. :O. My brain had a 'light bulb turn on' moment! Thanks again. :)
