Given that z = a + bj, find Re(z/z*) and Im(z/z*).
By definition z* = a - bj.
We can write z/z* = ((a+bj)/(a-bj))*(a+bj)/(a+bj).
We calculate this to be z/z* = (a^2-b^2)/(a^2+b^2) + j(2ab)/(a^2+b^2).
Therefore, Re(z/z*) = (a^2-b^2)/(a^2+b^2).
Im(z/z*) = (2ab)/(a^2+b^2).

How can the integrating factor method be derived to give a solution to a differential equation?
By using an integrating factor, solve the differential equation dy/dx + 4y/x = 6x^-3 (6 marks)
Use De Moivre's Theorem to show that if z = cos(q)+isin(q), then (z^n)+(z^-n) = 2cos(nq) and (z^n)-(z^-n)=2isin(nq).
