9. To generate a mandelbrot set: Solve the equation z 2 + 1 =0 By using an iterative approach. (Like C3 coursework) Count the number of iterations required to get within an acceptable margin of the solution. Plot the starting value on an Argand diagram, with a colour that corresponds to the number of steps until convergence. Eg Rearrange to make z = -1/z Choose 1+i as starting value Keep iterating until within a small radius of i.

Note that: represents the distance from the complex number a to the complex number z Arg(z – a) represents the angle to the complex number z from the complex number a measured from a line parallel to the +ve part of the real axis If z is a complex number x + iy then: Re(z) = x Im(z) = y z* = The complex conjugate of z= x - iy

Puzzle 2 Suppose that 1 + j and 3 + 4j were two adjacent corners of an equilateral triangle, where would the final vertex be? This is much easier to solve using complex numbers! Puzzle 3 Can we generalise this method to a regular ‘n’ sided shape? This really demonstrates just how cool complex numbers are!!!!!!!!

Solve it. What do you notice about the solutions? The Fundamental Thm of algebra states that any polynomial equation of degree ‘n’ will have exactly ‘n’ solutions (if you count repeated roots). The Complex Conjugate Root Thm goes further, and states that, as long as the coefficients are real, the solutions will come in complex conjugate pairs.
