Step-by-step solution

5 steps

To solve the equation 2+j1−j=j(x+jy)\frac{2+j}{1-j} = j(x+jy), we need to simplify both sides and then equate the real and imaginary parts.

  1. Simplify the left-hand side (LHS) by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

    The conjugate of 1−j1-j is 1+j1+j.

    2+j1−j=2+j1−j×1+j1+j\frac{2+j}{1-j} = \frac{2+j}{1-j} \times \frac{1+j}{1+j}
  2. Perform the multiplication in the numerator and denominator.

    Numerator: (2+j)(1+j)=2(1)+2(j)+j(1)+j(j)=2+2j+j+j2(2+j)(1+j) = 2(1) + 2(j) + j(1) + j(j) = 2 + 2j + j + j^2
    Since j2=−1j^2 = -1, this becomes 2+3j−1=1+3j2 + 3j - 1 = 1 + 3j.
    Denominator: (1−j)(1+j)=12−j2=1−(−1)=1+1=2(1-j)(1+j) = 1^2 - j^2 = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2.
    So, the LHS simplifies to:

    1+3j2=12+32j\frac{1+3j}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{2}j
  3. Simplify the right-hand side (RHS).

    j(x+jy)=jx+j2yj(x+jy) = jx + j^2y

    Since j2=−1j^2 = -1, this becomes:

    jx−y=−y+jxjx - y = -y + jx
  4. Equate the simplified LHS and RHS.

    12+32j=−y+jx\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{2}j = -y + jx
  5. Equate the real parts and the imaginary parts of both sides.

    Equating the real parts:

    12=−y\frac{1}{2} = -y y=−12y = -\frac{1}{2}

    Equating the imaginary parts:

    32=x\frac{3}{2} = x

    Thus, the values of xx and yy are:

    x=32,y=−12x = \frac{3}{2}, \quad y = -\frac{1}{2}
