The powers of i cycle betwee i, 1, i, ad 1. Thus, we have 503 013 i i i i, A. 3. The absolute value of the etire fractio is the ratio of the absolute values of the umerator ad deomiator. Usig this, we have 3 i 3 i 5 1i 5 1i 5, A. 13 Page 1 of 13
013 ΜΑΘ Natioal Covetio. We let x equal the expressio we wish to evaluate. With a substitutio, we obtai i i i i x x. Solvig this equatio with the quadratic formula gives i 1 1i x x 0 x. Now, we must evaluate 1 i. We ca write this i cis form as 1i cis. the square root of this, we utilize de Moivre s Theorem to obtai 1 1 1 cis cis, 0,1 8 Combiig this with the rest of the solutio gives x 1 cis, 0,1. 1 1 cis 8, 0,1 1 3 cis, 0,1, A. 8 To tae 5.

Our aswer is the 5 1 1, B. 89 6. The powers of i cotai two sets of umbers that are additive iverses of each other, amely (1, 1) ad ( i, i). Thus the oly sets of four umbers that will satisfy a 0 are permutatios of either (1,1, 1, 1), ( i, i, i, i), ad ( i, i,1, 1). The first two have 6 distict arragemets each, while the last has! total arragemets, givig (6) 36 overall. There are 56 possibilities, givig a probability of 36 9, B. 56 6 7. The solutios to the equatio z form a hexago i the complex plae, similar to the 6 th roots of uity, except the side legth of the hexago is 6 79 3. Thus z3 z6 is equal to the distace betwee two diagoally opposite poits o the hexago. This is simply (3) 6, D. 8. We have v1 a, b ad v c, d, givig v1 v ac bd. Ituitio would lead us to try Re z w ac bd. This, however, is the cojugate of what we wish to obtai. Naturally, we would the tae the cojugate of either z or w. This gives us Re( z w) Re(( ac bd) i( ad bc)) ac bd, D. Page 3 of 13

Note that we ca rewrite the equatio as ( a6) ( b3) 6, or the equatio for a circle. If we were to covert z to the Cartesia plae, we would simply write z ( x, y) ( a, b). Hece, R is a circle with radius 8, ad thus has a area of 8 6 C. 1. Let z a bi. The we have z z a bi a bi a bi a b a a b bi a a a b a b b a b a a b. Now, sice z a b, this becomes Page of 13

This gives us the systems of equatios x3y 5 xy 6 which we solve as ( xy, ) (8, 1), which gives xy 7, D. 1. We have 3 0 3 B A I. 1 0 1 Thus, 0. i Solvig gives 1 i, A. det( B) 3 1 3 3 8 5 Page 5 of 13
013 ΜΑΘ Natioal Covetio 15. It is clear that each f ( x ) will be a polyomial of degree, sice the roots are the vertices of a square. Now, ote that each set of roots is a rotatio of radias couterclocwise from the previous set of roots ad furthermore, each set of roots has 1 times the amplitude of the previous set of roots. We bega with the fourth roots of uity, which are cis, 0 3. This meas the th set of roots are 1 1 1 1 cis ( 1) cis ( 1). Of course, we ca write this as 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 x cis ( 1) ( 1). This implies that 1 1 f( x) x. Thus we have 1 1 1 1 1 1 f (0), A. 1 1 5 16. The fuctio will ot itersect the x -axis whe it has imagiary roots. This requires that the discrimiat be less tha 0. We have 5 5 5 5 ()( )(9) 0,,, D. 36 6 6 17. Let the roots be r 1, r,, r 013, where r 1 1. The sum of the roots tae two at a time ca be writte as rr i j, 0 i, j 013, i j. This ca be writte as cyc rr i j rr 1 a rb rc ra rb rc, cyc cyc cyc cyc cyc Sice r 1 1. We ca see that this summatio cotais both the sum of the roots ad the sum of the roots tae two at a time of 01 g( x) 1 x. This is just 1 011 010 1, B. 01 01 01 Page 6 of 13
013 ΜΑΘ Natioal Covetio 18. We proceed by casewor. Our first case, a real result, ca be achieved by rollig both real umbers or both imagiary umbers. Note that both the first ad secod subcases are symmetric so the total expected value is 1 156 5 61 3 5. 36 36 Our secod case, a imagiary result, is achieved whe we multiply a imagiary umber by a real umber. The expected value of this is 1 9 1 31 3 5 6 5 6. 36 The total expected value is 9 5 $.5, A. 19. Writig the expressio i cis form gives us 013 1 3 1 i 3 i 013 cis 013 013 013 cis 013 cis 013, A. 3 013 3 0. Let the first term be a ad a commo ratio be r. If, at some poit i the series, the th 1 term i the series equals the first, we have a ar r 1, 1. Thus the possible ratios are the th roots of uity. There must be 50 of these roots i the secod quadrat, or betwee 90 ad 180. Sice the roots of uity are cis, for some, x we must have 360x 90 x 360( x 50) 180 x 50 Page 7 of 13
013 ΜΑΘ Natioal Covetio Subtractig the secod from the first gives 50 00. Thus the smallest value of is 01, which gives 1 011 0, C. 1. This is just i i f( i) 1!! 1 1 1 37, D.. Note that cis cis cis. Usig this, we have 1 1 013 1 cis cis1cis cis013 013(01) cis cis 1007013, B. 3. The plotted poits form a spiral shape, composed of segmets which we ca treat as hypoteuses of right triagles for our purposes of calculatig distace. Sice the powers of i traverse the axes couterclocwise, each two set of cosecutive poits alog with the origi form a right triagle. For example, z 3 i 3, givig 1 z1 i i zz 1 1 3. I geeral, we have zz 1 1 1 1 1 1., ad Page 8 of 13

Thus, we ow that f( x ) has 1, i, ad i as roots. Sice the powers of i cycle, we are oly worried about the powers of i that come out to 1, or every fourth power. Note that R(1) f(1) 01, by the Remaider theorem. Sice we begi at 0, our aswer is 013 01 1 (mod100) 1015056(mod100) 56, D. 7. The fuctio i this problem is similar to the fuctio give i Problem 6.

Our ituitio for a ew set of axes is based o the fact that the Eisestei itegers have a argumet of 60. Through some playig aroud, we ca fid the set of axes as show below: As we ca see, the plotted poits form a equilateral triagle with a side legth of 3. Thus, the area is 3 3 9 3, C. 30.
