Let $z^{(k+1)}=\lambda z^{(k)}$ be a complex scalar iterative equation with $\lambda=\mu+i \nu$. Show that its real and imaginary parts $x^{(k)}=\operatorname{Re} z^{(k)}, y^{(k)}=\operatorname{Im} z^{(k)}$, satisfy a two-dimensional real linear iterative system. Use the eigenvalue method to solve the real $2 \times 2$ system, and verify that your solution coincides with the solution to the original complex equation.
