Solve both parts and justify the conditions used. Part A: Are arguments θ and θ+2π different complex numbers at the same positive modulus? Explain. Part B: Evaluate the power.
- Use the domain, units and sampling assumptions stated in the question.

Hint 1
Hint 2
Worked solution
Part A reasoning
Use modulus and argument, remembering that arguments differ by full turns.
Calculate or simplify this relation.
A representation is not unique even though the complex number is fixed.
Part B reasoning
Expand with i²=−1 and use a conjugate to remove a complex denominator.
Calculate or simplify this relation.
Reduce the exponent modulo four.
A: No; sine and cosine are unchanged by one full turn. B: The requested value is -1.
Checks and common pitfalls: A representation is not unique even though the complex number is fixed. Reduce the exponent modulo four.
