You have a typo in one of your questions: it should be (1+13i)/5, not /3.
Colin
Thanks! Have put it right, I hope!
Joe
The answer to question 1 is slightly wrong. It should be [correct answer], as opposed to [wrong answer]. Hope this helps.
Colin
Thanks, Joe, you’re quite right! I’ve fixed that now.
