SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the equation \(2e^z = \sqrt{2} + i\sqrt{2}\) in polar form. The key point raised is the confusion regarding the absence of "ln 2" in the solution, despite the absolute value of the right-hand side being incorrectly stated as 2. The correct interpretation reveals that the absolute value is actually 1, leading to the angle \(\frac{\pi}{4}i\) being the only component needed in the solution. Proper formatting of LaTeX is also addressed, emphasizing the importance of correct syntax for displaying mathematical expressions.

Homework Statement


$$2e^z=\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}\\e^z=\frac{\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}}{2} $$
Then i write the right side as polar form and the abs(right hand side)=2 , and then multiplied with an angle. But in the answer there is only pi/4*i. which is the angle i get, but since the abs(right hand side)=2, why isn't there a "ln 2" in the solution?

Please write your TeX/LaTeX properly; I have fixed up the above and have obtained
2e^z=\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}\\e^z=\frac{\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}}{2}
Anyway, the absolute value of the rhs is not 2.

Mod note: I fixed the contents of the original post.

Yeah i saw when i went to bed, :D My bad. I wrote wrong on the calculator

Btw how do i write latex properly? I can't figure out how to do it!

If you right click on the equations Ray posted you should see an option to display the latex.
 
2e^z=\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}\\e^z=\frac{\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}}{2}

this is what i see,

HOw to i get it to be latex? I thought just write on both sides?

<br /> You need to terminate it.
2e^z=\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}\\e^z=\frac{\sqrt{2}+i\sqrt{2}}{2}

<br /> <br /> In your original submission (still echoed in the panel above my response) you will see that you used &quot;[ tex ] some math [ /tex ]&quot;. The spaces you inserted inside [...] were a mistake: you should have &quot;[t..x] some math [/t..x]&quot; , where &#039;..&#039; means &#039;e&#039;. The rest of your expression was perfectly OK.
