Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around computing the Taylor series expansion for the function f(z) = [z^4 + (2-3i)*z^3 - 6i*z^2 + 2]/[z(z+2)] at the point z_0 = 1. The problem is situated within the context of complex analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss various methods for approaching the Taylor series, including substituting z with x + iy and simplifying the expression. Some express difficulty in managing the resulting equations, while others suggest starting from the definition of a Taylor series. There are inquiries about the differentiation process and simplification of the function.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different strategies for simplification and differentiation. Some guidance has been offered regarding the definition of the Taylor series and the need for simplification before differentiation. There is no explicit consensus on a single approach, as multiple interpretations and methods are being considered.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the complexity of differentiating the function as presented and the necessity of breaking apart the fraction for easier manipulation. There are reminders about forum rules regarding the provision of direct answers.

[SOLVED] compute the taylor's expansion (series)

Homework Statement



compute the taylor's expansion (series) for:

f(z)= [z^4 + (2-3i)*z^3 - 6i*z^2 + 2]/[z(z+2)]

where Zo (Z node or Z(0)) = 1



i need answer as soon as possible please!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
we don't give answer here, read and follow the forum rules.
 
i tried replacing each z wth x+iy but it went into a huge binomial equation i couldn't solve, here is part of my work:
z^4 = (x+iy)^4 = x^4 + (x^3 + iy) + (x^2 - y^2) + (x - iy^3) + y^4

z^4 + (2-3i)*z^3 = x^4 + (3-3i)*(x^3 + x^2 + x - y^2) + (3 + 3i)*(y - y^3) + y^4

and i don't know what to do after that, please help me!
thanks...
 
Start from the definition of a Taylor series.
 
this is complex analysis right?

Are you supposed do evaluate taylor series for this f(z) around z_0 = 1 ?

yes, can you help in that?

the problem is that this equation will not be easy to defferenciate it has to be simplified first
or if you could do it as it is please tell me how

thanks
 
Divide z+2 into the top. Break apart the resulting fraction and simplify.
 
can you please show me the steps of dividing by z+2 & the breaking apart of the fraction?

thanks

We don't provide that kind of help here. You show that you can try first, then we help you.

Takning the derivatives of [z^4 + (2-3i)*z^3 - 6i*z^2 + 2]/[z(z+2)] is straightforward if you know your derivation rules, which are the same as in real analysis.

ok thanks very much, i'll try solving it again

thanks for all your help, I've finally done it, and here is my final answer:

f(z)= (5/3 - 3i) + (10/9 - 3i) (z - 1)/1! + (50/27) [(z-1)^2]/2! + (4/27) [(z - 1)^3]/3! + ...
