    Complex Functions
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the real and imaginary parts of a complex function given by f(t) = e^(-1 + 2i)t(2 - i; 3 + 4i). Participants note that the original expression appears incomplete or incorrectly formatted, particularly questioning the role of "e" and the notation used for the function. Clarification is provided that the function can be interpreted as a vector-valued function, which can be expressed as f(t) = <(2 - i)e^(-1 + 2i)t, (3 + 4i)e^(-1 + 2i)t>. To solve for the real and imaginary parts, it is suggested to separate the exponential terms using the properties of exponentials and Euler's formula. This guidance aims to help the original poster progress in their homework assignment.

Help with My complex functions :(

Homework Statement


I have to find a real part and Imaginary part of complex functions
but I kinda stuck on this question :(


Homework Equations


f(t)=e(-1+2i)(2-i ; 3+4i)

from this equation I have to find real part and imaginary part :(
I need ur help guyz asap
!:) cheers

The Attempt at a Solution

There seems to be something missing in your function. The expression on the right side doesn't have t in it. Is this the formula for your function?
f(t) = e(-1 + 2i)t(2 - i; 3 + 4i)
 


true that
the original function is
f(t) = e(-1+2i)t[2-i ; 3+4i]
 


What you have written makes no sense. What is that "e" doing in your formula? Do you really mean it to just be multiplied or do you intend e^{(-1+ 2i)t}? And what is "[2-i ; 3+4i]" is this a "vector valued" function? And, if so, do you want the real and imaginary parts of each component?
 


Your vector-valued function can be written this way:
f(t) = <(2 - i) e(-1 + 2i)t , (3 + 4i)e(-1 + 2i)t>

Then split up the exponentail parts using the fact that e(a + b)t = eatebt. Use the fact that eix = cosx + isinx. These should get you started.

Just moved the "e"s outside of the superscript for you.
 


Thanks. I hadn't noticed they were superscripts also.
