2017.3.2 Question 2

  1. Let the complex number representing R(P) be z. Therefore,

    z a = exp (i𝜃)(z a), z = zexp (i𝜃) + a(1 exp (i𝜃)),

    as desired.

  2. Let the complex number representing SR(P) be z. Therefore,

    z b = exp ()(z b), z = zexp () + b(1 exp ()), z = [zexp (i𝜃) + a(1 exp (i𝜃))]exp () + b(1 exp ()), z = zexp (i (𝜃 + φ)) + a(1 exp (i𝜃))exp () + b(1 exp ()).

    This will be an anti-clockwise rotation around c over an angle of (𝜃 + φ), where

    c [1 exp (i(𝜃 + φ))] = aexp () aexp (i (𝜃 + φ)) + b bexp (),

    If 𝜃 + φ = 2 for some integer n , 1 exp (i(𝜃 + φ)) = 0, therefore c cannot be determined.

    Multiplying both sides by exp (i(𝜃+φ) 2 ), we have

    c [exp (i(𝜃 + φ) 2 ) exp (i(𝜃 + φ) 2 )] = a [exp (i(φ 𝜃) 2 ) exp (i(𝜃 + φ) 2 )] + b [exp (i(𝜃 + φ) 2 ) exp (i(φ 𝜃) 2 )],

    and hence

    2cisin (𝜃 + φ 2 ) = 2aiexp ( 2 )sin (𝜃 2 ) 2biexp (i𝜃 2 )sin (φ 2 ), csin (𝜃 + φ 2 ) = aexp ( 2 )sin (𝜃 2 ) + bexp (i𝜃 2 )sin (φ 2 ).

    If 𝜃 + φ = 2π, we will have z = z + aexp () a + b(1 exp ()) = z + (b a)(1 exp ()), which is a translation by (b a)(1 exp ()).

  3. If RS = SR, then we have

    a(1 exp (i𝜃))exp () + b(1 exp ()) = b(1 exp ())exp (i𝜃) + a(1 exp (i𝜃)), a(1 + exp () + exp (i𝜃) exp (i(𝜃 + φ))) = b(1 + exp () + exp (i𝜃) exp (i(𝜃 + φ))), (a b)(1 exp ())(1 exp (i𝜃)) = 0.

    Therefore, a = b, or φ = 2, or 𝜃 = 2, for some integer n .
