Example Question #41 : Complex Analysis
Is the above inequality true?
The truth of the statement depends on the value of . In other words it is true for some restricted domain of the complex plane.
It is true only for the pure imaginary line.
Yes it is true for the whole complex plane.
No it is not true. The statement is false for the entire complex plane.
The truth of the statement depends on the value of . In other words it is true for some restricted domain of the complex plane.
It is true only for the real line.
The truth of the statement depends on the value of . In other words it is true for some restricted domain of the complex plane.
It is true when:
Yes it is true for the whole complex plane.
above are the steps to get the magnitude of the left side of the inequality.
above are the steps to get the magnitude of the right side of the inequality.
Thus becomes...
now we do algebra...
with this last inequality you can graph the right hand side and see that it is
always or greater, or you can reason it this way...
Thus the inequality is true for all complex numbers.
