Find the roots of (z + 1)8 = (z2 − 1)8.

Answer»

The equation above gives 

(z2 − 1) = ei2πn/8 (z + 1), n = 0, 1, 2 · ··, 7 , 

or 

(z + 1)(z − 1 − ei2πn/8) = 0, n = 0, 1, 2 · ··, 7. 

Thus the roots are 

z = −1 and z = 1 + ei2πn/8, n = 0, 1, 2 · ··, 7 .

Even though Silver is the best conductor of electricity, yet it is not used to make electric wires because:1. It is not ductile2. It is a shiny metal3. It has low tensile strength4. It is very expensive

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : It is very expensive

The correct answer is It is very expensive.


  • Silver
    • It is a soft, white, lustrous transition metal.
    • It is found in the free element as well as in the combined state.
    • Its atomic number is 47 and its mass number is 108.
    • It is a shining white solid with high ductility and malleability.
    • Though it is the best conductor of electricity still it is not used in electric wiring because of its cost. It is very expensive compared to the widely used wiring material copper.
    • It oxidizes easily and tarnishes when it comes in contact with air.
  • Materials commonly used in electric wires are copper and aluminum. 
12.

The vein that does not transport deoxygenated blood is _______.1. superior vena cava2. pulmonary vein3. hepatic portal vein4. renal vein

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : pulmonary vein

The correct answer is the pulmonary vein.

  • Pulmonary vein
    • The Pulmonary vein is the vein that transfers oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
    • The largest pulmonary veins are the four main pulmonary veins, two from each lung that drains into the left atrium of the heart.
    • The pulmonary veins are part of the pulmonary circulation.
    • The pulmonary veins originate from individual alveoli within the lungs as capillary vessels.


  • Superior Vena Cava
    • The superior vena cava is a large valveless vein that conveys deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body and returns it to the right atrium.
  • Hepatic Portal Vein
    • It is a vessel that moves blood from the spleen and gastrointestinal tract to the liver.
    • It is approx 3-4 inches in length and is usually formed by the merging of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins behind the upper edge of the head of the pancreas.
  • Renal Vein
    • The renal veins are veins that drain the kidney.
    • They connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava.
    • The blood flowing through the renal vein is deoxygenated and contains nitrogenous waste.

Find the real part and the imaginary part of eiz as well as those of cos z. For what values of z is the real part of eiz equal to cosz? 

Answer»

eiz = eix−y = e−y (cos x + isin x) = u + iv, 

e−iz = e−ix+y = ey(cos x − isin x). 

Thus 

cosz = (eiz + e−iz)/2 = cos x cosh y − isin x sinh y. 

If u is equal to cos z, then 

e−y cosx = cos x cosh y − isinx sinh y. 

The real part and the imaginary part of the equation above are: 

(e−y − cosh y) cosx = 0 and sinx sinhy = 0.

If y  0,  these two equalities give sinx = cosx = 0, which is not possible. Both equalities are satisfied if 

y = 0.

Thus the real part of eiz is equal to cos z only if z is real.

17.

For what constant value (or values) of a is the function u = x + ax3 the real part of an analytic function? Find the imaginary part of this analytic function. Express this analytic function as a function of z.

Answer»

uxx = 6ax , uyy = 0 . 

Thus ∇2u = 0 only if a = 0, in which case 

u = x. 

The conjugate of x, denoted as v, satisfies 

vy = ux = 1 and vx = −uy = 0. 

We get 

v = y + c, and u + iv = z + ic, 

where c is a constant.
