AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around converting the complex voltage expression V = 10<90 degrees + 66 - j(10 V) at an angular frequency of 10k rads/s. The initial confusion stems from the conversion of the complex number into a time-domain function. The correct simplification reveals that the imaginary components cancel out, leading to a final result of 66. The conclusion is that the voltage can be expressed as 66cos(10^4t). This highlights the importance of careful algebraic manipulation in complex number conversions.

Question: Convert V = 10< 90 degrees + 66 - j(10 V) at angular frequency = 10k rads/s.

I am stuck here 10(cos(90)+ j(sin(90)) + 66 - j(10)

which would then be: 0 + j + 66 - j(10)

Convert to what?

Question: Convert V

Do you have the original problem wording?
Convert to what?
1) V(t)=V(0)sin(wt+p) where t=time and V(0), w, p are real?
2) V(t)=V(0)Cos(wt+p) where t=time and V(0), w, p are real?
3) Other?

V(a)cos(\omegat+\phi)
V(t)=V(0)cos($\omega$t+$\phi$)
You are very close,
what is the angle represented by j + 66 - j(10)? That is $\phi$.

Can you find $\omega$ from the given frequency?
Can you find V(0); it is the magnitude of j + 66 - j(10)?

actually I am already given \omega, that is what angular frequency is. Although just re reading my initial post, I can spot my problem. I made an algebraic error:

10(cos(90)+ j(sin(90)) + 66 - j(10)

corrected: 10(0) + j(10) + 66 - j(10)

which just simplifies to 66, while the imaginary cancel out

Final answer: 66cos(10^4t)​

Thanks for your help!
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
