Solutions To Complex Functions & Equations Revisited

The Problems again:

1)  (a) Given u(x,y) + iv(x,y) = 2x2 + i2y2  

find f(z,z*)

(b)  Express f(z)= z2 + z – 3 in polar form

2) Solve for x and y:   8x 2 + 3iy  -  4    = 8y   – 4iy

3) Solve: (z+1) 3  = z 3



Solutions:

(1)   Let:  z = x + iy, and z* = x – iy

Adding:   z + z* = (x + iy) + (x - iy) = 2x


We see: x = (z + z*)/2


Subtracting:



(z – z*) = [x + iy – x + iy] =  i2y

Then:  y = (z – z*)/ 2i

We can now formulate the function f(z,z*):




f(z,z*) = 2[(z + z*)/2]2  + i2[(z – z*)/ 2i]2

2)  z2 = r2 exp(i2(q)) = r2 (cos (2q) + isin(2 q))



z = r exp(i(q)) = r(cos(q) + isin(q)



so: z2 + z = r2 (cos (2q) + isin(2 q)) +  r(cos(q) + isin(q)



Collecting like terms in i and simplifying:



f(z) =  r2(cos (2q) + r(cos(q)) + i{sin(2q) + sin(q)} – 3



so: iv(r, q) =  i{sin(2q) + sin(q)}



and v (r, q) =  {sin(2q) + sin(q)}



while:


u(r, q) =  r(cos (2q) + r(cos(q)) – 3


3)     8x 2 + 3iy  -  4    = 8y   – 4iy

 8x 2    =   4

So:   2    =   4/ 8   =  1/ 2


Therefore:  x =  Ö  ( 1/2)  =   1/ Ö2

=  Ö /  2
  

And:   

8 y   =   - 3iy  - 4iy   =   - 7 iy

y  =   -7 i/  8


4)  Expand the left side and set equal to the right:

z 3 + 3z 2 +  3z + 1   =  3

è3z 2 +3z + 1   = 3    
-    3
  
 or  3z 2  + 3z +1 =  0

(This can be solved using the quadratic formula, to give two roots)

Then:  z1 = ½ + i Ö (3) / 6 

And z2 = -(½ ) + iÖ (3)/ 6

Checking the result against the  original equation:

z 3  = 0.192i and  (z 3 + 1) 3  = 0.192i


So both quantities are equal, the roots are correct.
