A cubic polynomial has the form p(z)=z^3+bz^2+cz+d, z is Complex and b, c, d are Real. Given that a solution of p(z)=0 is z1=3-2i and that p(-2)=0, find the values of b, c and d.

I will explain this choice of question and demonstrate my approach of showing the most forward way to solve this in the interview.

Show, by counter-example, that the statement "If cos(a) = cos(b) then sin(a) = sin(b)" is false.


A matrix M has eigenvectors (3,1,0) (2,8,2) (1,1,6) with corresponding eigenvalues 1, 6, 2 respectively. Write an invertible matrix P and diagonal matrix D such that M=PD(P^-1), hence calculate M^5.
