(a) If

x+iy=a=0200ia+b=150ibx+i y=\sum_{a=0}^{200} i^{a}+\prod_{b=1}^{50} i^{b}

where x,yRx, y \in \mathbb{R}, what is the value of xyx y ?

(b) Evaluate

(1+i)2019(1i)2017\frac{(1+i)^{2019}}{(1-i)^{2017}}

(c) Find a complex number zz such that

iiz=2i^{i^{z}}=2

(d) Interpret geometrically the curve defined by the set of points satisfying

logz=ilogzˉ\log z=i \log \bar{z}

in the complex zz-plane.
