15) Write a rose curve equation that lies on the horizontal axis, has a petal length of 5, and has 8 petals.

16) Write a lemniscate equation that is symmetric about the pole and has a loop length of 7.

19 Part A) Find the product for the equations below. z₁ * z₂ (Use exact values, no decimals. Show your work)

z₁= 1/2(cis pi/3) and z₂=3 (cos pi/6 + i sin pi/6)

19 Part B) Place your answer from Part A in rectangular form. (Use exact values and show your work)

15) One possible equation for a rose curve with the given specifications is:

x = 5 cos(8θ)

This equation produces a curve that repeats itself 8 times for every full rotation (2π) around the origin, creating a symmetrical pattern of petals with a length of 5 units.

16) One possible equation for a lemniscate with a loop length of 7 and symmetry about the pole (x-axis) is:

r^2 = 7^2 cos(2θ)

This equation produces a curve that resembles a figure eight, with the center at the origin and loops that touch the x-axis. The loop length is determined by the value of the parameter a in the equation, which is 7 in this case.

19 Part A) To find the product of two complex numbers, we can use the formula:

z₁ * z₂ = |z₁| |z₂| cis(θ₁ + θ₂)

where |z| is the magnitude (or absolute value) of z, and θ is the argument (or angle) of z measured counterclockwise from the positive real axis, in radians.

First, let's write z₁ and z₂ in polar form:

z₁ = 1/2 cis(π/3) = 1/2 (cos π/3 + i sin π/3) = 1/2 + i(√3/2)

z₂ = 3 (cos π/6 + i sin π/6) = 3/2 + i(3/2)

Then, we can calculate:

|z₁| = sqrt((1/2)^2 + (√3/2)^2) = √(1/4 + 3/4) = 1

|z₂| = sqrt((3/2)^2 + (3/2)^2) = 3/2 √2

θ₁ = π/3 and θ₂ = π/6

Therefore:

z₁ * z₂ = |z₁| |z₂| cis(θ₁ + θ₂) = 1 * (3/2 √2) cis(π/3 + π/6)

= (3/2) √2 cis(2π/6) = (3/2) √2 cisπ/3

19 Part B) To express the complex number in rectangular (or Cartesian) form, we use the formula:

z = x + yi

where x is the real part (or the horizontal coordinate) and y is the imaginary part (or the vertical coordinate) of the complex number.

From the polar form of z₁ * z₂, we know that the magnitude of the product is (3/2) √2, and the argument is π/3. Therefore:

x = |z₁ * z₂| cos(π/3) = (3/2) √2 cos(π/3) = (3/4) √6

y = |z₁ * z₂| sin(π/3) = (3/2) √2 sin(π/3) = (3/4) √6

Hence, the rectangular form of z₁ * z₂ is:

z₁ * z₂ = (3/4) √6 + i(3/4) √6

15) r = cos(nθ) has 2n petals when n is even. So, the curve we want is

r = 5cos(4θ)

16) the arc length of a lemniscate is an elliptic integral, so this will not work.

19) π/3 + π/6 = π/2, so
1/2(cis π/3) * 3 (cis π/6) = 3/2 cis(π/2) = 3/2 i

19 Part B) To convert 3/2i to rectangular form, we can write:

3/2i = 0 + (3/2)i

Therefore, the rectangular form of z₁ * z₂ is:

z₁ * z₂ = 0 + (3/2)i

15) To write a rose curve equation that lies on the horizontal axis and has a petal length of 5 with 8 petals, we can use the polar form of the equation.

The general equation for a rose curve is r = a * cos(bθ), where r represents the distance from the origin to a point on the curve, θ is the angle measured from the positive x-axis, a determines the size of the petals, and b determines the number of petals.

In this case, we want a petal length of 5, so a = 5/2. And we want 8 petals, so b = 8.

Therefore, the equation for the given rose curve is r = (5/2) * cos(8θ).

16) To write a lemniscate equation that is symmetric about the pole and has a loop length of 7, we can again use the polar form of the equation.

The general equation for a lemniscate is r^2 = a^2 * cos(2θ), where r represents the distance from the origin to a point on the curve, θ is the angle measured from the positive x-axis, and a determines the size and shape of the lemniscate.

In this case, we want a loop length of 7, so a = √(7/π).

Therefore, the equation for the given lemniscate is r^2 = (√(7/π))^2 * cos(2θ).

19 Part A) To find the product of the complex numbers z₁ = (1/2)(cis π/3) and z₂ = 3(cos π/6 + i sin π/6), we multiply them together.

z₁ * z₂ = (1/2)(cis π/3) * 3(cos π/6 + i sin π/6)

To multiply complex numbers in polar form, we multiply their magnitudes and add their angles.

The magnitude of z₁ is 1/2 and the magnitude of z₂ is 3. Multiplying them gives us (1/2) * 3 = 3/2.

The angle of z₁ is π/3 and the angle of z₂ is π/6. Adding them gives us π/3 + π/6 = π/2.

Therefore, z₁ * z₂ = (3/2)(cis π/2).

19 Part B) To express the answer from Part A in rectangular form, we convert it from polar form to rectangular form.

The rectangular form of a complex number is given by z = r(cos θ + i sin θ).

In this case, r = 3/2 and θ = π/2.

Using the identity cos(θ) + i sin(θ) = cis(θ), we can rewrite the expression:

z = (3/2)(cos π/2 + i sin π/2)

Evaluating the trigonometric functions for π/2, we have:

z = (3/2)(0 + i * 1)

Simplifying further, we get:

z = (3/2)i

Therefore, the answer in rectangular form is (3/2)i.
