z2 16 16

Arg ( w) = 2 + 2 = + + =
16 4 16 8 4 8 2

Question 7

Answer : D
Explanation :

T = { z : z + 1 z i , z C} { z : z 2 z i , z C} { z : z 1, z C}

z + 1 z i is the half plane above the left line

z 2 z i is the half plane below the right line

z 1 is the interior of the circle

Question 8

Answer : A
Explanation :
When a, b and c are linearly dependent, one of them, for example c, is a
linear combination of the other two.
Therefore c is in the plane determined by a and b.

Question 16

Answer : D
Explanation :
For y = const the gradient follows a sin or cos shape
when x = y, gradient is zero, hence sin shape
when x = 1 and y = 0, gradient is positive,
hence sin(x y ) applies
