Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
What doesequal?
The first solution method uses Euler's formula.
第二个解决方案使用复杂的单位圆。It begins in the same manner.
Just as was done in Trigonometry, you swing an anglefrom the positiveaxis. In this caseis, and the radius is one. An angle ofdegrees starting from the positiveaxis will land you aton the negativeaxis. The value for. It is worth mentioning that the complex unit circle has at each point two components. At the angleequal, thecomponent isand thecomponent is. Thus...
Also, the notation can be a little confusing it seems as if at one pointand at another point. and also at one point, and at another point. This is because there are two.
and
Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
Find all values ofsuch that...
Again we can use Euler's formula or the complex unit circle.
The trick here is to realize that,whereis real of course, cannot be negative.
thus we have the following.. Thus we have the two
equations below.
now the top equation above has a real part and an imaginary part. Sinceis real we set it equal to the real part. we now have the two equations below.
These two equations can be solved with pre-calculus and trigonometry skills.
now if your familiar withthen you know it is a periodic function.
is not the only solution to
any angle co-terminal withis also a solution. Thus for the final answer we have...
we could have solved it a lot quicker if we used the complex unit circle to solve
Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
Use the complex unit circle to find the value of
If you know how to use the trigonometric unit circle to find a trig value then
you already in a way know how to find the answer to any. The only
difference with the complex unit circle is that theycomponent is imaginary.
So to find the answer ofyou just move counter clockwise from the
positiveaxis byand take that value. which in this case is.
It is worth noting that every point on the complex unit circle has two
components, a real and imaginary part. Atthe(real part) is zero, and
the(imaginary) is.
Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
Ifis pure imaginary what restriction is placed on?
hint: where is the only place(s) on the complex unit circle whereis pure imaginary and what is the angle(s) that put you there.
theor imaginary axis is the only place whereis pure imaginary.
The angles that put you there are
,
and those angles that are co-terminal with them.
Thus....
Now the picture i posted with this problem was the best i could find.
It is a little misleading.
Thethe picture refers to are only thoseon the complex unit circle.
The answer to the question needsto be any point on the complex
plane. we want the entire(complex) axis in our solution.
above myis not the sameas in the picture. Thepart in the line just
above causes the complex point to move up or down the(complex) axis to
infinity etc. thus the wholeaxis.
Forand its co-terminal angles andin the interval
the positive imaginary axis is covered. Forand its co-terminal
angles andin the intervalthe negative imaginary axis is
covered. Thus the final solution is below.
Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
Use the complex unit circle to solve the fourth roots of unity. In other words solve the equation below for all. Choose the best answer since other answers may be partially correct.
First replace thein the above equation with.
Theis included since the circle is periodic and multiples ofare
co-terminal with.
Now take the fourth root of both sides of the equation.
now simplify...
by inspection of the equation above we can see that the solutions are given by
multiples of. In other words we take the complex unit circle and start
at theaxis and move counter clockwise by angle increments of.
This forms the picture below.
As seen above the picture forms a square with the starting vertex at.
This shape is not an accident. For example the cube roots of unity form an
equilateral triangle with starting vertex at.
Below are the solutions to the cube roots of unity. One can recognize those
values from thetriangle.
This technique is a quick way to find many of the lower number roots of unity.
It is a good approach for the visual learner. Any nth root of unity will form a
regular n-gon inscribed in the unit circle with the starting vertex at.
For more complex root equations, one would start in the same way but use
Euler's equation to finish the problem.
Finally, the reason I did not choose
as the correct answer is that it produces infinite and duplicate answers which
can be boiled down to just
Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
Solve the above equation for all values of.
first we get the right hand side of the equation into exponential form.
thus we now have...
and
the first half of the above equations implies.
the second equation impliesbut we must be careful.
should make you think of the complex unit circle, and it is periodic.
we can wheel around byfromand be co-terminal with
infinitely many times. Thus
so the final solution is...

where in the complex plane does the above function satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
It does not satisfy the CR equations at any point on the complex plane.
It satisfies the CR equations everywhere on the complex plane.
It satisfies the CR equations at:
It satisfies the CR equations on the real line of the complex plane.
In other words theaxis or
.
It satisfies the CR equations at:
It does not satisfy the CR equations at any point on the complex plane.
first we have to take the above equation and split it into its real and imaginary
部分。
Now we take the partial derivatives ofand.
If you are not already familiar here are the CR equations below.
and
by substitution we get the following system of equations.
now lets simplify....
can never equal zero so we can divide by it on both sides of both equations
without accidentally dividing by zero.
Furthercan be any real and this division still holds. The point being in our
solutioncan be any real.
sometimes sine and cosine can be zero so we cannot divide by them on both
sides. We can collect the like terms and set the equations equal to zero.
and like thethe twos divide away.
Now we have establishedcan be any real. Now we just need aor more
than oneor infinitely manyvalues that can solve that system.
Unfortunately there does not exist anythat can simultaneously solve that
system.
Thus for everyon the complex plane the CR equations are not satisfied.
Every point on the complex plane has ancomponent and acomponent in
the formor in other words. That不能satisfy the
CR equations if thepart does not satisfy the CR equations.
Thus the function does not satisfy the CR equations on any point in the
complex plane.
Example Question #1 :Elementary Functions
Where in the complex plane does the above function satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
The CR equations are only satisfied at the origin.
In other words aton the complex plane.
The CR equations are only satisfied at:
.
In other words only at the pure imaginary axis.
Everywhere. In other words the function satisfies the CR equations on the whole complex plane.
Nowhere. In other words there is not even one point on the complex plane where this function satisfies the CR equations.
the CR equations are satisfied by this function only at:
In other words only on theaxis that is the real line.
Everywhere. In other words the function satisfies the CR equations on the whole complex plane.
The first task is to split the function into its real and imaginary parts.
The step above is algebra.
The step above is using Euler's formula.
now that we haveandwe take the partial derivatives. The product rule is used to take the derivatives.
then with algebra the above partial derivative of U will simplify. The rest of the partials are done in similar manner i will list the rest in their final simplified form.
The CR equations are below.
and
By inspection of the above partials, one can see that the equations are identical.
Thus like when you have:
the equations are true for alland.
Thus the CR equations are satisfied for the whole complex plane.

Once again this can be finished with either Euler's formula or the complex unit circle.
should by now in this practice test remind you of the complex unit circle. The radius is the magnitude of every point on that circle. So for anyor in this case any...
