Understanding the Assignment



You are to create a 3×3 puzzle grid (9 squares) where:
- Each square has 4 sides (top, right, bottom, left).
- The edges of adjacent squares must match — meaning matching mathematical expressions or values.
- There are 12 matching pairs (24 entries total), and 12 extra entries to fill the outer edges.
- You need to include 12 specific types of problems related to:
- Polar ↔ Rectangular coordinates
- Absolute value of complex numbers
- Polar ↔ Rectangular equations
- Powers of imaginary/complex numbers
- Operations with complex numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)

## 🧩 Step-by-Step: Create & Solve a Puzzle

We will now design a complete puzzle that satisfies all requirements. Since I can't draw images, I'll provide:

1. A text representation of the puzzle layout.
2. The matching pairs with full solutions.
3. A completed version showing how they connect.
4. All required math work.

---

🔢 Step 1: Define the 12 Matching Pairs



Let’s create 12 pairs (each pair matches two expressions). We’ll assign them to edges of squares so that adjacent sides match.

| Pair | Type | Expression A | Expression B |
|------|------|--------------|--------------|
| 1 | Polar ↔ Rectangular | $ (3, \frac{\pi}{6}) $ | $ \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right) $ |
| 2 | Polar ↔ Rectangular | $ (4, \frac{3\pi}{4}) $ | $ (-2\sqrt{2}, 2\sqrt{2}) $ |
| 3 | Absolute Value | $ |3 + 4i| $ | $ 5 $ |
| 4 | Absolute Value | $ |-2 + i| $ | $ \sqrt{5} $ |
| 5 | Polar ↔ Rectangular Equation | $ r = 2\cos\theta $ | $ x^2 + y^2 = 2x $ |
| 6 | Polar ↔ Rectangular Equation | $ r = 4\sin\theta $ | $ x^2 + y^2 = 4y $ |
| 7 | Power of Complex Number | $ i^5 $ | $ i $ |
| 8 | Power of Complex Number | $ (1+i)^2 $ | $ 2i $ |
| 9 | Addition | $ (2 + 3i) + (1 - i) $ | $ 3 + 2i $ |
| 10 | Subtraction | $ (5 - 2i) - (1 + 4i) $ | $ 4 - 6i $ |
| 11 | Multiplication | $ (2 + i)(1 - i) $ | $ 3 - i $ |
| 12 | Division | $ \frac{3 + 3i}{1 - i} $ | $ 3i $ |

> These 12 pairs cover all required categories:
> - 2 polar ↔ rectangular coordinates → Pairs 1, 2
> - 2 absolute value → Pairs 3, 4
> - 2 polar ↔ rectangular equations → Pairs 5, 6
> - 2 powers → Pairs 7, 8
> - 4 operations → Pairs 9–12 (add, sub, mult, div)

🧱 Step 2: Design the 3×3 Grid Layout



Each square has 4 edges: top, right, bottom, left.

We'll label squares as:

```
[ A ] [ B ] [ C ]
[ D ] [ E ] [ F ]
[ G ] [ H ] [ I ]
```

We’ll assign matching pairs to adjacent edges so that:
- Right edge of A = Left edge of B
- Bottom edge of A = Top edge of D
- etc.

We’ll place the 12 matching pairs across internal edges (12 shared edges in a 3×3 grid).

There are:
- 3 horizontal internal lines → 3 × 3 = 9 shared edges? No — actually:
- Horizontal shared edges: between rows → 2 rows × 3 columns = 6
- Vertical shared edges: between columns → 3 rows × 2 columns = 6
- Total = 12 shared edges → perfect!

So we have 12 internal edges → perfect for 12 matching pairs.

We’ll assign each pair to one edge.

---

🎯 Step 3: Assign Matching Pairs to Edges



Let’s assign:

#### 🔹 Horizontal Shared Edges (between rows):
- Between A-B-C and D-E-F:
- A-bottom = D-top → Pair 1: $ (3, \frac{\pi}{6}) $ ↔ $ \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right) $
- B-bottom = E-top → Pair 2: $ (4, \frac{3\pi}{4}) $ ↔ $ (-2\sqrt{2}, 2\sqrt{2}) $
- C-bottom = F-top → Pair 3: $ |3+4i| $ ↔ $ 5 $

- Between D-E-F and G-H-I:
- D-bottom = G-top → Pair 4: $ |-2+i| $ ↔ $ \sqrt{5} $
- E-bottom = H-top → Pair 5: $ r=2\cos\theta $ ↔ $ x^2+y^2=2x $
- F-bottom = I-top → Pair 6: $ r=4\sin\theta $ ↔ $ x^2+y^2=4y $

#### 🔹 Vertical Shared Edges (between columns):
- Between A-D-G and B-E-H and C-F-I:
- A-right = B-left → Pair 7: $ i^5 $ ↔ $ i $
- D-right = E-left → Pair 8: $ (1+i)^2 $ ↔ $ 2i $
- G-right = H-left → Pair 9: $ (2+3i)+(1-i) $ ↔ $ 3+2i $

- B-right = C-left → Pair 10: $ (5-2i)-(1+4i) $ ↔ $ 4-6i $
- E-right = F-left → Pair 11: $ (2+i)(1-i) $ ↔ $ 3-i $
- H-right = I-left → Pair 12: $ \frac{3+3i}{1-i} $ ↔ $ 3i $

Now, we assign one expression from each pair to each edge.

Let’s build the grid.

---

🧩 Step 4: Fill the Grid (Original Puzzle)



We’ll write the expression on each side of each square.

We’ll use A, B, C... for squares.

We'll denote:
- T = top
- R = right
- B = bottom
- L = left

We’ll assign expressions so that shared edges match.

Let’s go step by step.

---

#### Square A (Top-left)
- T: Extra (e.g., $ z = 1+i $)
- R: $ i^5 $ ← matches B-left
- B: $ (3, \frac{\pi}{6}) $ ← matches D-top
- L: Extra (e.g., $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{3} $)

#### Square B (Top-center)
- T: Extra (e.g., $ r = 1 $)
- R: $ (5-2i)-(1+4i) $ ← matches C-left
- B: $ (4, \frac{3\pi}{4}) $ ← matches E-top
- L: $ i $ ← matches A-right

#### Square C (Top-right)
- T: Extra (e.g., $ x = 2 $)
- R: Extra (e.g., $ z = 2 $)
- B: $ |3+4i| $ ← matches F-top
- L: $ 4-6i $ ← matches B-right

#### Square D (Middle-left)
- T: $ \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right) $ ← matches A-bottom
- R: $ (1+i)^2 $ ← matches E-left
- B: $ |-2+i| $ ← matches G-top
- L: Extra (e.g., $ \text{Re}(z) = 1 $)

#### Square E (Center)
- T: $ (-2\sqrt{2}, 2\sqrt{2}) $ ← matches B-bottom
- R: $ (2+i)(1-i) $ ← matches F-left
- B: $ r=2\cos\theta $ ← matches H-top
- L: $ 2i $ ← matches D-right

#### Square F (Middle-right)
- T: $ 5 $ ← matches C-bottom
- R: Extra (e.g., $ y = 1 $)
- B: $ r=4\sin\theta $ ← matches I-top
- L: $ 3-i $ ← matches E-right

#### Square G (Bottom-left)
- T: $ \sqrt{5} $ ← matches D-bottom
- R: $ (2+3i)+(1-i) $ ← matches H-left
- B: Extra (e.g., $ z = 0 $)
- L: Extra (e.g., $ \text{Im}(z) = 0 $)

#### Square H (Bottom-center)
- T: $ x^2 + y^2 = 2x $ ← matches E-bottom
- R: $ \frac{3+3i}{1-i} $ ← matches I-left
- B: Extra (e.g., $ z = 1 $)
- L: $ 3+2i $ ← matches G-right

#### Square I (Bottom-right)
- T: $ x^2 + y^2 = 4y $ ← matches F-bottom
- R: Extra (e.g., $ z = 3 $)
- B: Extra (e.g., $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} $)
- L: $ 3i $ ← matches H-right

---

Step 5: Verify All Matches



| Edge | Matched Pair | Correct? |
|------|---------------|--------|
| A-R / B-L | $ i^5 $ ↔ $ i $ | $ i^5 = i^{4+1} = (i^4)(i) = 1 \cdot i = i $ |
| B-R / C-L | $ (5-2i)-(1+4i) = 4-6i $ | $ (5-1)+(-2-4)i = 4-6i $ |
| D-R / E-L | $ (1+i)^2 = 1 + 2i + i^2 = 1 + 2i -1 = 2i $ | |
| E-R / F-L | $ (2+i)(1-i) = 2(1) -2i +i -i^2 = 2 -i +1 = 3 - i $ | |
| G-R / H-L | $ (2+3i)+(1-i) = 3+2i $ | |
| H-R / I-L | $ \frac{3+3i}{1-i} $ → multiply numerator and denominator by $ 1+i $:
$ \frac{(3+3i)(1+i)}{(1-i)(1+i)} = \frac{3(1+i)^2}{2} = \frac{3(1+2i-1)}{2} = \frac{3(2i)}{2} = 3i $ | |
| A-B / D-T | $ (3, \frac{\pi}{6}) $ → $ x = 3\cos(\pi/6) = 3 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} $, $ y = 3\sin(\pi/6) = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} $ | |
| B-B / E-T | $ (4, 3\pi/4) $ → $ x = 4\cos(3\pi/4) = 4(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) = -2\sqrt{2} $, $ y = 4\sin(3\pi/4) = 4(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) = 2\sqrt{2} $ | |
| C-B / F-T | $ |3+4i| = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5 $ | |
| D-B / G-T | $ |-2+i| = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5} $ | |
| E-B / H-T | $ r = 2\cos\theta $ → $ r^2 = 2r\cos\theta $ → $ x^2 + y^2 = 2x $ | |
| F-B / I-T | $ r = 4\sin\theta $ → $ r^2 = 4r\sin\theta $ → $ x^2 + y^2 = 4y $ | |

All 12 pairs match correctly.

📐 Step 6: Submit Requirements



You should submit:

1. Picture of original puzzle → Use a grid with 9 squares, label each edge with one expression (not both).
- For example, only show $ i^5 $ on A-right, not $ i $.
- Only show $ (3,\pi/6) $ on A-bottom, not the rectangular form.
- Outer edges: fill with extras like “$ z=1 $”, “$ \theta=\pi/3 $”, etc.

2. Picture of solved puzzle → Show both expressions on matching edges (e.g., $ i^5 $ and $ i $ connected).

3. Work for each pair → We’ve already shown all above.
