Problem 11

Find the exact values of $z$ which satisfy the following equations:
a $z^{2}+2 z+26=0$
b $z^{2}-2 z+3=0$
c $3 z^{2}-7 z+13=0$
By using a computer algebra system or a graphical calculator, plot on different axes the graphs $z^{2}+2 z+26$, $z^{2}-2 z+3$ and $3 z^{2}-7 z+13$
By looking at these graphs can you see why there are no real roots of these equations?

Problem 13

Let $I_{\mathrm{p}}$ and $I_{\mathrm{s}}$ represent the primary and secondary currents through a mutually magnetically coupled circuit which satisfies the following equations:
$$
\begin{aligned}
10 &=4 I_{\mathrm{p}}+j 6 I_{\mathrm{p}}-j 4 I_{\mathrm{s}} \\
0 &=50 I_{\mathrm{s}}+j 12 I_{\mathrm{s}}+8 I_{\mathrm{s}}-j 4 I_{\mathrm{p}}
\end{aligned}
$$
Determine $I_{\mathrm{p}}$ and $I_{\mathrm{s}}$. (If you have difficulty with this question try it after Example 17.)

Problem 14

A resistance, $R$, and a capacitance, $C$, are connected in parallel. The impedance, $Z$, of the circuit is given by
$$
\frac{1}{Z}=\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{X_{c}}
$$
where $X_{c}=\frac{1}{j \omega C}$
$(\omega=$ angular frequency)
i Show that $Z=\frac{R}{1+j \omega C R}$.
ii Find the real and imaginary parts of $Z .(\operatorname{Re}(Z)$ and $\operatorname{Im}(Z)$ respectively.)
