    Help with a proof

    Another way to do it algebraically is to represent the complex numbers as cis(a1) and cis(a2) then use the sum to product trigonometric identities.

    Why SDEHS papers so hard MX2

    yea its all goods imo the whole point of this forum is just to communicate ideas about math and how they can help other people so its not really unexpected u get informal proofs and algebruh errors

    Why SDEHS papers so hard MX2

    the conjugate of \frac{1}{a+bi} is not \frac{a-ib}{a^2+b^2} \frac{1}{a+bi}=\frac{a-bi}{a^2+b^2} so the conjugate is \frac{a+bi}{a^2+b^2} so using this method u still get the same answer as i did as u get \frac{(x-iy)(a+bi)}{a^2 + b^2} =\frac{(x-iy)(a+bi)}{(a+bi)(a-bi)} =\frac{x-iy}{a-bi}

    the hardest part was literally just typing it on latex after doing it on paper

    Why SDEHS papers so hard MX2

    \frac{(x+iy)(a-ib)}{(a-ib)(a+ib)} =\frac{xa-ixb+iya+yb}{(a-ib)(a+ib)} Taking the conjugate we get =\frac{xa+yb-i(ya-xb)}{(a-ib)(a+ib)} =\frac{a(x-iy) -ib(x-iy)}{(a-ib)(a+ib)} =\frac{x-iy}{a-ib} as required

    Why SDEHS papers so hard MX2

    just consider the conjugate of \frac{x+iy}{a+bi} after realising it its literally not that hard of a problem as u say it is

    the question does have a solution ur just being ignorant. equations exist that dont have solutions though like x=x+1 and |x|=-1

    Why SDEHS papers so hard MX2

    next time i cant do a question in a test ima just say it doesnt have a solution

    Vector question help

    for 15 sketch it out if it helps visualise the situation and use dot product theres quite a few different ways u could do 16 but the most reasonable one imo is to also just sketch it out and get an inequality from that

    my physics depth study is worth more than my hsc trials :/

    are there any textbooks that are recommended to follow along with the videos for practice questions like how mcgrathematics follows the cambridge textbook for maths?

    wikipedias definition of the fundamental theorem of algebra basically says what i said

    Why SDEHS papers so hard MX2

    would this not have 2 complex solutions? 3x^2 +4x+2i = 0 x=\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16-24i}}{6} \text{Let } \sqrt{16-24i}=a+bi, \text{where a and b are real numbers} \text{From this we have, } a^2 - b^2 = 16 \text{ and, } ab = -12 \text{Rearranging the second term as } b=\frac{-12}{a}, a^2 -...

    Can anyone please provide some feedback on my proof

    they are probably referring to (2k+1)^{2} = 2k^2 +2k +1 which should be (2k+1)^{2} = 4k^2 +4k +1. the proof is still correct otherwise

    tuff ice table question

    tf they doin to these reactions to make Keq 1000

    complex question

    doesnt letting z=acis\theta and z=bcis\theta imply that a>0 and b>0 since they are the magnitudes of each complex number
  17. kendricklamarlover101

    Complex q

    oops yea didnt even notice was too busy trying to figure out latex lol
  18. kendricklamarlover101

    Complex q

    instead of letting z_{k}=x+iy u could just leave it as z_{k} LHS=|z_{k+1}| =\left|z_{k}\left(1+\frac{i}{|z_{k}|}\right)\right| =\left|z_{k}\left(\frac{|z_{k}|+i}{|z_{k}|}\right)\right| =||z_{k}|+i| Using assumption =|\sqrt{k}+i| Since \sqrt{k} is real and i is imaginary...

    Complex numbers

    also about your z=3+i example, 3+i does not lie on the curve. the cartesian equation would be y=x-1 and (3,1) does not lie on this line.
