His methods a lot better than long division and more efficient when one gets used to the equating co-effs poly method.
"Better" is a subjective term.

Personally, I'd prefer to use long division. But I was just pointing out that there is an alternative method.

How is long divison achieved? Could you show via a eaxmple?

Also this question:

. Show that as the point z describes the y axis, from the negative end to the positive end, the point Z (upper case) describes completely the circle x^2+y^2=1, in the coutner-clockwise sense.

Ive got x^2+y^2=4 as the circle, and not the question stated x^2+y^2=1. Can anyone confirm?

Also this question.

Prove that if z lies on the circle x^2+y^2=1, the points representing

lies on an orthogonal line pair.

One more:

If P, Q represent the complex no.s z, Z and


find the locus of Q as P moves on the circle |z-3|=3

Where are you even getting these questions from? They don't look very standard to me.

LOL, that is a term commonly used for vectors in a number space and matrix algebra...don't think it's that relevant to HSC

not sure if this correct
Absolutely rite. Can i just ask, i did it just graphically. I was like: the locus of that was

The locus of 1/z-3 was a circle of same centre but with radius 1/3. Hence 1/z-3 + 17/3 equals to a locaus of (x-3-17/3)^2 + y^2 = 1/9

Where did i go wrong with that method?

Wouldn't the radius be the same, but the center be shifted, as 17/3 only shifts it?

So how would one determine the shifted centre?
On additional thought, I think you are right as to say that the radius changes too...

Which book are these problems from.
