Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around complex numbers, specifically comparing two complex numbers, z and w, and exploring properties such as their absolute values and factorials. The original poster poses several questions related to these concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about the meaning of "compare" in the context of complex numbers, questioning whether it refers to finding differences or absolute values. There is also confusion regarding the factorial notation applied to complex numbers and the interpretation of limits involving complex functions.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively seeking clarification on the questions posed, with some providing insights into the definitions and properties of complex numbers. There is an ongoing exploration of the implications of comparing complex numbers and the validity of certain mathematical operations.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note the lack of a standard ordering for complex numbers, which complicates the comparison. Additionally, there is uncertainty about the interpretation of the factorial symbol in relation to complex numbers.

suppose z=2+3i , w=1-5i
1)make Compare between z,w

2)find z!

3)IzI=sqart root (z^2)
or IzI=sqart root(zz')
IzI=sqart root (z^2)=sqart root(zz')

4) Compare between 1,i

5) i!=?

What does this mean?
 
1. What do you mean by "compare"? Find the difference? Absolute value of difference?

2. Is "!" supposed to be the factorial? It's only defined for positive integers, not complex numbers.

3. If, by ', you mean "complex conjugate", then [itex]|z|= \sqrt{zz'}[/itex] which is NOT the same as [itex]\sqrt{z^2}[/itex] unless z is real.

I mean
Z<W OR W<Z

Thank you for assistance
 
PLEASE:

Please answer
 
The question being asked is:

5. Suppose f(z) = 3xy + i(x-y^2). Find lim{z -> 3+2i} of f(z), or explain carefully why it does not exist.

I am guessing that z=x+iy. I.e. z=3+2i means x=3 and y=2. However, this makes the question rather easy, just plugging in x=3 and y=2 into the given expression. If they mean something else I don't know what that is.

I am unaware of any definition of "less than" or "greater than" concerning complex numbers.

Neither. The field of complex numbers is NOT an "ordered field".
