How Do You Solve for U and V in the Complex Equation U-i*V=ln((z-1)/(z+1))?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The equation U - i*V = ln((z-1)/(z+1)) can be solved for U and V by first expressing z as z = x + i*y, where x and y are the real and imaginary parts, respectively. To simplify the equation, rewrite (z+1)/(z-1) in the form A + Bi, where A and B are real numbers. Subsequently, convert this expression into polar form to isolate U and V effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Complex number representation (z = x + i*y)

Homework Statement


U-i*V=ln((z-1)/(z+1)) - solve for U and V, where U is the real part and V is the imaginary part, of this equation


Homework Equations


z=x+i*y, where x and y are the real and imaginary parts respectively



The Attempt at a Solution


I've attempted raising it to the power e, but that didn't help, I also tried z=r*exp(i*theta) but that didn't seem too help much. I'm really stuck on this one. Thanks.

First write (z+1)/(z-1) in the form A+Bi where A and B are real. Then convert that to the polar form.
