Example Question #21 : Complex Analysis
Given a complex number
, under what conditions is the following equation true?
The equation is always true.
The equation is only true if
.The equation is only true if
.The equation is never true.
The equation is only true if
.The equation is only true if
.
.
Substituting this into the equation and simplifying yields:
So the equation is only true if
.Example Question #22 : Complex Analysis
What is the value of
, where is in radians?
Not enough information is given.
The magnitude of a complex number
.
If
, then , so =1.Example Question #23 : Complex Analysis
Which of the following is equivalent to this expression?
None of these
None of these
Note that
lies in the first quadrant of the complex plane.
Any nonzero complex number
and
.
(We stipulate that is in radians.)
Conversely, a nonzero complex number
and
.
We can convert
,
and
Since
lies in the first quadrant of the complex plane, as does , .So
.
We now substitute this into our original expression and expand.
.
Finally, we convert this number back to the form
So our final answer is
.Example Question #24 : Complex Analysis
Which of the following is equivalent to this expression?
None of these
Note that
lies in the first quadrant of the complex plane.
Any nonzero complex number
and
.
(We stipulate that is in radians.)
Conversely, a nonzero complex number
and
.
We can convert
,
and
Since
lies in the first quadrant of the complex plane, as does , .So
.
We now substitute this into our original expression and expand.
.
Because , we substitute with the coterminal angle .
.
Finally, we convert this number back to the form
So our final answer is
.Example Question #25 : Complex Analysis
If
then what is the value of
?
None of these
Note that the
on the right side of the equation can be written as .
Multiplying the first two terms on the left side yields
.
Note that this number lies in the third quadrant of the complex plane.
We now convert
and
.
.
Since lies in the third quadrant of the complex plane, as does , .
So our new form is .
Our equation now reduces to
.
We solve for z by dividing.
Finally, we convert this to the form
and
.
.
So our final answer is
.Example Question #26 : Complex Analysis
Given a complex number
, under what conditions is the following equation true?
The equation is only true if
.The equation is only true if
.The equation is only true if
.The equation is only true if
.The equation is never true.
The equation is only true if
.
.
Substituting this into the equation and simplifying yields:
So the equation is only true if
.Example Question #1 : Complex Functions
What does the sum below equal?
Another way of asking this question is what is the sum of the
roots of unity.
As messy as it looks, this is just a geometric series.
we will use the partial sum formula for the geometric series.
the red part is the only part that matters....the
cancel out leaving....
and...
thus we have...
which gives the answer of zero.
Example Question #2 : Complex Functions
Consider the function
Find an expression for
(hint: use the definition of derivatve) and where it exists in the complex plane.
Applying the definition of derivative, we have that
If the limits exists, it can be found by letting
approach in any manner.In particular, if we it approach through the points
, we have that
A similar approach with
implies thatSince limits are unique, these two approaches imply that
, which implies and cannot exist when
Example Question #1 : Analytic And Harmonic Functions
Find a Harmonic Conjugate
of
is said to be a harmonic conjugate of if their are both harmonic in their domain and their first order partial derivatives satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann Equations. Computing the partial derivatives
where
is any arbitrary constant.Example Question #2 : Analytic And Harmonic Functions
Given
, where does exist?The Entire Complex Plane
Nowhere
Nowhere
Rewriting
in real and complex components, we have that
So this implies that
where
Therefore, checking the Cauchy-Riemann Equations, we have that
So the Cauchy-Riemann equations are never satisfied on the entire complex plane, so
is differentiable nowhere.All Complex Analysis Resources
