i cant do the 2nd and 3rd question. help please
i) Let z=x+iy.
Re(az)
=> Re((p+qi)*(x+iy))=1
px-qy=1

ii) (z-a)/z = 1-(a/z)
= px-qy -((p+iq)/(x+iy))
= px-qy - ((p+iq)(x-iy)/(x^2+y^2))
Since, (p+iq)(x-iy) is imaginary.
= Re(az)- (p+iq)(x-iy)/Re(z)
Then, (z-a)/z is imaginary.

Re(a(1/z))=Re((p+iq)(x-iy)/(x^2+y^2))
= (px+qy)/(x^2+y^2)
= 1

iii)
If, 1/z = 1/a
Re(a/a)=1
Thus, 1=px-qy

what he said ^
lol shun guess who! M-ss--re xD
if u think complex is hard wait till u get to mechanics
its so insane so that i dropped it lol

what? mechanics was definitely easier than complex numbers.

my tutor said ppl who hate mechanics is cuz they always teach it b4 the hsc and no1 really has to time to study thru it, it not really that hard. Conics is harder T.T

^ No way is mechanics harder than harder 3u. Mechanics is really routine based and the processes are "mechanical", harder 3u is nearly impossible to be completely prepared for cos of the massive variety of topics they can test.

My ranking from easiest to hardest:

integration
complex, tie with polynomials and graphs
volumes
mechanics
conics
harder 3u

In fact you can easily prepare for any topic other than harder 3u.

Polynomials
Graphs
Integration
Complex Numbers
Volumes
Mechanics
Conics
Harder 3u

Where's complex?

And from the replies above, i guess the difficulty of the subjects depends on the person.

@OP - sorry about hijacking the thread :p

Yeah, it really does.
I would say:
Graphs and Integration tied.
Complex
Polynomials
Volumes
Mechanics
Conics
Harder 3 unit.

Some of those conics proofs are hard to get out.
