Multiplying & Dividing Complex Numbers

Section 6.6

Can you do 48 and 50 in step by step fashion? Thank you very much.

 

48 .
3i(1-sqrt(2)*i)
=3i*1-3i*sqrt(2)*i
=3i-3sqrt(2)*i^2
=3i-3sqrt(2)*(-1)
=3i+3sqrt(2)
=3sqrt(2) + 3i


50 .

(1+sqrt(3)*i)/(6-3i).........rationalize

((6+3i)(1+sqrt(3)*i))/((6-3i)(6+3i))

((6+3i)(1+sqrt(3)*i))/(6^2-(3i)^2)

(6+6sqrt(3)*i+3i+3i*sqrt(3)*i)/(36-(9(-1))

((3 + 6sqrt(3))*i - 3sqrt(3) + 6)/(36+9)

(3(1 + 2sqrt(3)) i - sqrt(3) + 2)/45

((1 + 2sqrt(3)) i - sqrt(3) + 2)/15

((1 + 2sqrt(3)) i/15 - (sqrt(3) - 2)/15

-(1/15) (sqrt(3) - 2) +(1/15)(1 + 2sqrt(3))*i

 

Thank you so much. We continue with Section 6.6 today.

 

Each problem has three parts. You only did part (a). Can you do parts (b) & (c)?

 

48.

b. product in trigonometric form

3i(1-sqrt(2)*i)
use 3i and (1-sqrt(2)*i),

in trig. form they are

z=3(cos(pi/2)+i*sin(pi/2))..........1)

z=sqrt(3)(cos(-0.955316618)+i*sin(-0.955316618))..........2)

multiply 1) and 2)

3(cos(pi/2)+i*sin(pi/2))*sqrt(3)(cos(-0.955316618)+i*sin(-0.955316618))=4.24264+3* i

c.

product in standard form (I actually did it first time)

3i(1-i*sqrt(2)*i)=3i-3i*sqrt(2)*i=3sqrt(2) + 3 i=4.24264+ 3i

so, result is same

you can do 50 same way

 

I will try 50 when time allows. My weekend was ruined. You know who messed it up.
