A student needs to find the polar coordinates for the number $\,2-2i\,\,$. He chooses to use a calculator. By entering

Check the calculations. What error has the student made?

Exercise 7: Geometric Addition and Multiplication
It is now time to install GeoGebra on your computer or to access it via a browser. See the link to GeoGebra on the Agenda of today.
When the software is ready, open the GeoGebra sheet komplekseTal. In this sheet, four complex numbers $\,z_1\,,\,z_2\,,\,z_3\,$ and $\,z_4\,$ are given. Construct the following complex numbers:
Draw using the vector tool (in the line box) the position vectors of the found complex numbers. You might want to colour them differently. Finally, draw the five yellow labels to the corresponding numbers.
Note: In this exercise you may choose your own level of ambition (or go step by step from the easiest to the hardest):
- Mild: Right click on the sheet and activate Grid. Choose Lock the grid in Configurations $\rightarrow$ Catch the point. Find via geometric considerations the wanted numbers and draw them with the point tool.
- Medium: Construct the wanted numbers with dedicated GeoGebra construction tools, e.g. Parallel displace by vector and Reflection in point.
- Challenging: Find the numbers purely from ruler and compass construction. You’ll find the compass tools in the circle toolbox. A ruler construction is done using relevant tools from the line toolbox.
Exercise 8: Double Angles (Advanced)
The formulas of double angles as they are called are the following:
Use the latter (along with the dummy rule $\cos(v)^2+\sin(v)^2 =1$) to determine $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\,$ and $\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\,.$
Use the first result in a) to find $\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\,,\cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right)\,$ and $\,\sin\left(\frac{3}{8}\pi\right)\,$.
Similarly, use the second result in a) to find sine and cosine values of interesting angles on the form $\,\frac{p\pi}{12}\,.$
