**Student Questions on Assignment 1:**

//Q1. For the assignment Problem 1.8 # (iv), how did you make exp(j(pi*k/2 + pi/8)) = 1. I don't understand this equality.//

A1. Note that exp(j(pi*k/2 + pi/8)) does not equal 1 but the magnitude of exp(j(pi*k/2 + pi/8)) equals 1.

Recall exp(j \theta) = cos \theta + j sin \theta
Now, | exp(j \theta) | = sqrt (cos^2 \theta + sin^2 \theta) = sqrt (1) = 1

//Q2. How do i Evaluate and find the period of exp(-j*pi*k).//

A2. Note that exp(-j*pi*k) = cos(pi*k) - j sin(pi*k).
Since sin(pi*k) = 0, therefore, exp(-j*pi*k) = cos(pi*k) which has a period of pi radians/s or 1/2 Hz.

//Q3. If (-1^k) = exp(j*pi*k), what does (-5^k) or (5^k) equal to?//

A3. You can not express (-5^k) or (5^k) in the form that (-1^k) was expressed.
