Let z=x+iy, and w=u+iv. I am looking for a formula to find the arctangent of z, or w=arctan(z). I want the results of u and v to be in terms of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions (and their inverses) and not in terms of logarithms. The values u and v should be functions of x and y.

This is the question as it appears on the pdf. copy; ##z=2\left[\cos \dfrac{3π}{4} + i \sin \dfrac{3π}{4}\right]## My approach; ##\dfrac{3π}{4}=135^0## ##\tan 135^0=-\tan 45^0=\dfrac{-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}## therefore, ##z=-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}i## There may be a better approach.

Hi, PF, so long, I have a naive question: is ##\pi+\arctan{(2)}## a complex number at the second quadrant? To define a single-valued function, the principal argument of ##w## (denoted ##\mbox{Arg (w)}## is unique. This is because it is sometimes convenient to restric ##\theta=\arg{(w)}## to an...

Kindly see attached...I just want to understand why for the case; ##(-1+i)^\frac {1}{3}## they divided by ##3## when working out the angles... Am assuming they used; ##(\cos x + i \sin x)^n = \cos nx + i \sin nx## and here, we require ##n## to be positive integers...unless I am not getting...

Hello! (Not sure if this is pre or post calc,if I am in the wrong forum feel free to move it) So im given this complex number ## z = \frac{6}{1-i} ## and I am susposed to get it in polar form as well as z = a+bi I did that; z = 3+3i and polar form ##z =\sqrt{18} *e^{\pi/4 i} ## Now Im...

See the work below: I feel like it that I did it correctly. I feel like I skip a step in my induction. Please point any errors.

I am not sure why criss-cross approach would work here, but it seems to get the answer. What would be the reason why we could use this approach? $$\frac {z-1} {z+1} = ni$$ $$\implies \frac {z-1} {z+1} = \frac {ni} {1}$$ $$\implies {(z-1)} \times 1= {ni} \times {(z+1)}$$

I apologize in advance for my English. I want to know if my solution is correct. :) To verify that for every complex number z, the numbers z + z¯ and z × z¯ are real. My solution: z = a + bi z¯ = a - bi z + z¯ = a + bi + a - bi = 2a ∈ R z × z¯ = (a + bi) × (a - bi) = a^2 + b^2 ∈ R

...and is it ever useful? An arbitrary complex number has the form ##z = a + bi## where ##a, b \in \mathbb{R}## and the dot product of two arbitrary vectors ##\vec{v} = \binom{v_1}{v_2}## and equivalently for vector ##\vec{w}## is ##\vec{v} \cdot \vec{w} = v_1 w_1 + v_2 w_3## Then the ##z## may...

Let z = x + iy $$\arg \left(\frac{1+z^2}{1 + \bar z^{2}}\right)=\arg (1+z^2) - \arg (1 + \bar z^{2})$$ $$=\arg (1+x^2+i2xy-y^2)-\arg(1+x^2-i2xy+y^2)$$ Then I stuck. I also tried: $$\frac{1+z^2}{1 + \bar z^{2}}=\frac{1+x^2+i2xy-y^2}{1+x^2-i2xy+y^2}$$ But also stuck How to do this question...

ok here i have, ##x^2+y^2-5x=0## ##-y= 2## I end up with the quadratic equation, ##x^2-5x+4=0## Finally giving us, ##z=4-2i## and ##z=1-2i##

Find the problem here; ( i do not have the solutions...i seek alternative ways of doing the problems) ok, i let ##z=x+iy## and ##z^*= x-iy##... i ended up with the simultaneous equation; ##2x+y=4## ##x+2y=-1## ##x=1## and ##y=2## therefore our complex number is ##z=1+2i##

Firstly I converted the given equation to a quadratic equation which is ##z^2- (\sqrt3)z+1=0## I got two solutions: 1st sol ##z=\frac {(\sqrt3 + i)} {2}## 2nd sol ## z=\frac {(\sqrt3 -1)} {2}## Then I found modulus and argument for both solution . Modulus=1 Arguments are ##\frac...

This is also pretty easy, ##z^5=(a+bi)^5## ##(a+bi)^5= a^5+\dfrac {5a^4bi}{1!}+\dfrac {20a^3(bi)^2}{2!}+\dfrac {60a^2(bi)^3}{3!}+\dfrac {120a(bi)^4}{4!}+\dfrac {120(bi)^5}{5!}## ##(a+bi)^5=a^5+5a^4bi-10a^3b^2-10a^2b^3i+5ab^4+b^5i## ##\bigl(\Re (z))=a^5-10a^3b^2+5ab^4## ##\bigl(\Im (z))=...

This is pretty straightforward, Let ##z=a+bi## ## \bigl(\Re (z))=a, \bigl(\Im (z))=b## ##zz^*=(a+bi)(a-bi)=a^2+b^2 =\bigl(\Re (z))^2+\bigl(\Im (z))^2## Any other approach? this are pretty simple questions ...all the same its good to explore different perspective on the same...

Let: ##z=x+iy## $$z+\frac 1 z =1+2i$$ $$x+iy +\frac{1}{x+iy}=1+2i$$ $$x+iy+\frac{1}{x+iy} . \frac{x-iy}{x-iy}=1+2i$$ $$x+iy+\frac{x-iy}{x^2+y^2}=1+2i$$ $$\frac{x^3+xy^2+x+i(x^2y+y^3-y)}{x^2+y^2}=1+2i$$ So: $$\frac{x^3+xy^2+x}{x^2+y^2}=1$$ $$x^3+xy^2+x=x^2+y^2$$ and...

My attempt: Let us put $\frac{1}{i+t} = \frac{1+e^{is}}{2i} \Rightarrow \frac{2i}{i+t} -1= e^{is}$ So, $\cos{s}- i\sin{s}= \frac{2i}{i+t} - 1,\Rightarrow \cos^2{(s)} - \sin^2{(s)} = \frac{-2}{(i+t)^2} +1 -\frac{4i}{i+t}$ After doing some more mathematical computations, I got $\cos{s}=...

(e^(i*theta))^2 = (sin(theta)+i*cos(theta))^2 = cos(theta)^2 - sin(theta)^2 + 2*i*sin(theta)*cos(theta), so the real part would be: cos(theta)^2 - sin(theta)^2, and the imaginary part would be: 2*i*sin(theta)*cos(theta). But then I don't know where to start with the modulus or the argument?

Does it make sense to write ##r^c## where ## r\in R/e ## and ##c\in C## ?

From solving the characteristic equations, I got that ##\lambda = 0.5 \pm 1.5i##. Since using either value yields the same answer, let ##\lambda = 0.5 - 1.5i##. Then from solving the system for the eigenvector, I get that the eigenvector is ##{i}\choose{1.5}##. Hence the complex solution is...
