Note: Accept an argument of $\frac{7 \pi}{4}$ . Do NOT accept answers that are not exact.

Let w₁ = e^(ix) and w₂ = e^(i(x-π/2)), where x ∈ ℝ. Find w₁ + w₂ in the form e^(ix)(c + id).

Solution

$w_{1}+w_{2}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} x}+\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\left(x-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}$

$=e^{i x}\left(1+e^{-\frac{i}{2}}\right)$ $=e^{i x}(1-i)$

Hence find Re(w₁ + w₂) in the form A cos(x - α), where A > 0 and 0 < α ≤ π/2.

Solution

$w_{1}+w_{2}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} x} \times \sqrt{2} \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\mathrm{i} \pi}{4}}$ M1 $=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\left(x-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}$ (A1) attempt extract real part using cis form $\operatorname{Re}\left(w_{1}+w_{2}\right)=\sqrt{2} \cos \left(x-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ OR $1.4142 \ldots \cos (x-0.785398 \ldots)$

The current, I, in an AC circuit can be modelled by the equation I = a cos(bt - c) where b is the frequency and c is the phase shift.

Two AC voltage sources of the same frequency are independently connected to the same circuit. If connected to the circuit alone they generate currents I_A and I_B. The maximum value and the phase shift of each current is shown in the following table:

When the two voltage sources are connected to the circuit at the same time, the total current I_T can be expressed as I_A + I_B.

Find the maximum value of I_T.
