Regarding muscle tissue activation, which of the following statements accurately contrasts skeletal and smooth muscle?
Regarding muscle tissue activation, which of the following statements accurately contrasts skeletal and smooth muscle?
- Skeletal muscle activation is voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system, whereas smooth muscle activation is involuntary and regulated by autonomic/chemicals. (correct)
- Both skeletal and smooth muscle activation are primarily controlled by the somatic nervous system.
- Skeletal muscle activation is exclusively involuntary, while smooth muscle activation is voluntary.
- Skeletal muscle activation involves the pacemaker/autonomic system, while smooth muscle relies on the somatic nervous system.

Study Notes
Complex Numbers: Definition
- Complex numbers are expressed as $z = a + ib$.
- $a$ and $b$ are real numbers.
- $i$ is the imaginary unit, where $i^2 = -1$.
- $a$ is the real part of $z$, denoted as Re$(z)$.
- $b$ is the imaginary part of $z$, denoted as Im$(z)$.
- The set of all complex numbers is denoted as $\mathbb{C}$.
Complex Numbers: Operations
- For two complex numbers $z = a + ib$ and $z' = a' + ib'$:
- Addition: $z + z' = (a + a') + i(b + b')$.
- Multiplication: $z \cdot z' = (aa' - bb') + i(ab' + ba')$.
- Conjugation: $\overline{z} = a - ib$.
- Modulus: $|z| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$.
Complex Numbers: Geometric Representation
- A complex number $z = a + ib$ can be represented as a point $(a, b)$ in the complex plane.
- The x-axis is the real axis.
- The y-axis is the imaginary axis.
Trigonometric Form
- A non-zero complex number $z$ can be written as $z = r(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)$.
- $r = |z|$ is the modulus of $z$.
- $\theta$ is the argument of $z$, denoted as arg$(z)$.
Moivre's Formula
- For any real number $\theta$ and any integer $n$: $(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)^n = \cos(n\theta) + i \sin(n\theta)$.
Exercise 1
- Express the following complex numbers in the form $a + ib$.
- $z_1 = (3 + 2i)(1 - i)$.
- $z_2 = \frac{1 + i}{1 - i}$.
- $z_3 = (1 + i)^4$.
Exercise 2
- Calculate the modulus and argument of the following complex numbers.
- $z_1 = 1 + i$.
- $z_2 = \sqrt{3} - i$.
- $z_3 = -2i$.
Exercise 3
- Solve the following equations in $\mathbb{C}$.
- $z^2 + 4 = 0$.
- $z^2 - 2z + 5 = 0$.
Exercise 4
- Linearize $\cos^3(x)$ and $\sin^3(x)$.
Exercise 1: Solutions
- $z_1 = (3 + 2i)(1 - i) = 5 - i$.
- $z_2 = \frac{1 + i}{1 - i} = i$.
- $z_3 = (1 + i)^4 = -4$.
Exercise 2: Solutions
- $z_1 = 1 + i$, $|z_1| = \sqrt{2}$, $\arg(z_1) = \frac{\pi}{4}$.
- $z_2 = \sqrt{3} - i$, $|z_2| = 2$, $\arg(z_2) = -\frac{\pi}{6}$.
- $z_3 = -2i$, $|z_3| = 2$, $\arg(z_3) = -\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Exercise 3: Solutions
- $z^2 + 4 = 0 \Leftrightarrow z = \pm 2i$.
- $z^2 - 2z + 5 = 0$, $z_{1,2} = 1 \pm 2i$.
Exercise 4: Solutions
- $\cos^3(x) = \frac{1}{4} (\cos(3x) + 3\cos(x))$.
- $\sin^3(x) = \frac{1}{4} (3\sin(x) - \sin(3x))$.
