SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on expressing the complex variables x and y in terms of u and v using the equation w = 1/(z + 2j), where w = u + jv and z = x + jy. The initial substitution leads to the equation x + jy = 1/(u + jv) - 2j. The solution involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of u + jv, resulting in x + jy = (u - jv)/(u² + v²) - 2j. This simplifies to the real and imaginary parts: x = u/(u² + v²) and y = -v/(u² + v²) - 2.

w = 1/(z+2j): w = u + jv, z = x+jy

Its not hard to express this in terms of z... z = 1/w - 2j
But how can i go about expressing x and y and terms of u and v
Substitution of those above terms gets you

x + jy = 1/(u + jv) - 2j

I am not clear on the next steps
Any help is much appreciated.
Thankyou

Get that fraction into a+ jb form by multiplying numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of u+ jv:
x+ jy= (u- jv)/(u2+ v2)- 2j

Now separate into real and imaginary parts:
x= u/(u^2+ v^2), y= -v/(u^2+ v^2)- 2.

(I can't tell you how much it hurt to write "j" instead of "i". Blast these engineers and their jmaginary numbers!)
