Hello Kevin !

1)
In[1]:=
<< "Algebra`ReIm`"

In[2]:=
x /: Im[x] = 0; y /: Im[y] = 0; z = x + I*y;

In[7]:=
<< "Graphics`ImplicitPlot`"

In[11]:=
ImplicitPlot[ComplexExpand[Abs[z - 2*I],
     TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}] == 6, {x, -7, 7}];


2)

Could be done in the same way, but is not interesting.
In fact,

In[16]:=
ComplexExpand[(2*z - Conjugate[z])^2,
  TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}]

Out[16]=
x^2 + 6*I*x*y - 9*y^2

In[17]:=
ComplexExpand[-6*(z + Conjugate[z]),
  TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}]

Out[17]=
-12*x

So x*y = 0 and x^2-9y^2=12*x. The only point is (0;0) !

3)

The best is to do it "by hand" :

Table[Print["solution ", i, " : z = ",
    Abs[6 + 3*I]^(1/6), Simplify[
     E^((Arg[6 + 3*I]/6)*I + i*2*(Pi/6))]], {i, 0, 5}];

Meilleures salutations

Hi,

How do I go about plotting equations of the form:

1. |z-2i| = 6

2. (2z-Conjugate(z))^2 = -6(z + Conjugate(z)

In addition, how can you solve the following in terms of exponentials?

z^6 = 6 + 3i

Thanks.

Kev
