Consider the set of points defined by z = 5 cos(theta) + 3i sin(theta).
i. Plot z for theta = 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°. Based on your plot, form a conjecture about the graph of the
set of complex numbers.

Answer:

This is an ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]z=5cos(\theta)+3isin(\theta)[/tex]

Applying the angle values in intervals of right angles (90°), the resulting set of values for z are:

[tex]\theta = 0,90,180,270,360[/tex]

[tex]z=5,3i,-5,-3i,5[/tex] (again)

If you look at the plot, you will observe how these values represent points in the xy plain. All of them belong to either the x or the y axis.

The resulting figure for the whole set of values of [tex]\theta[/tex] is in fact an ellipse.
