Homework Statement
I have some trouble understanding the worked examples below:
Considering the input impedance of the network below:
##z_{in} = R+ \frac{sL/sC}{sL+(1/sC)}##
##z_{in} = R \left[ \frac{s^2+s/(RC)+1/(LC)}{s^2+1/(LC)} \right]##
Where ##s=j\omega##.
How did they get from the first expression to the second expression?
The Attempt at a Solution
Clearly looking into the network R is in series with the parallel combination of L and C, so we have ##R + L \parallel C## which is the first expression:
##z_{in} = R+ \frac{sL/sC}{sL+(1/sC)}##
We can further write this as:
##z_{in} = R+ \frac{sRL + (R/sC)+(sL/sC)}{sL+(1/sC)}##
I'm really confused. Where does the second expression given above come from?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
P.S. This is part of a problem about finding poles and zeros of the network. The quadratics in the numerator and denominator of the 2nd expression can be factorized to give the poles and zeros.
