复数已经写成 cosθ+isinθ 的形式,所以直接用 De Moivre’s theorem。注意分母中间是减号,要先写成角度为 −3π 的形式。

For the numerator,
(cos125π+isin125π)4==cos(4⋅125π)+isin(4⋅125π)cos35π+isin35π
For the denominator,
cos3π−isin3π=cos(−3π)+isin(−3π)
Hence
(cos3π−isin3π)3=cos(−π)+isin(−π)
When dividing complex numbers in modulus-argument form, subtract the arguments:
z1====cos(35π−(−π))+isin(35π−(−π))cos38π+isin38πcos(38π−2π)+isin(38π−2π)cos32π+isin32π

∣z−z1∣⩽1 表示以 z1 为圆心、半径为 1 的圆内区域。arg(z−z1) 是从圆心 z1 出发看点 z 的方向角,所以区域是圆内从水平向右射线逆时针扫到 43π 的扇形。

First write the centre in Cartesian form:
z1==cos32π+isin32π−21+23i
On a single Argand diagram:
- plot the centre z1=(−21,23);
- draw the circle with centre z1 and radius 1;
- draw the ray from z1 parallel to the positive real axis;
- draw the ray from z1 making angle 43π anticlockwise from that ray;
- shade the part inside the circle between these two rays.

要让 argz 最小,点 z 要尽量靠近正实轴方向。扇形里最靠右的边界点是从圆心 z1 沿水平向右走一个半径到圆周上的点。

The smallest positive argument occurs at the right-hand end of the horizontal radius of the circle:
z===z1+1(−21+23i)+121+23i
Therefore
argz===arctan(2123)arctan(3)3π
So the smallest possible positive value of argz is
3π
