Answer

92+112i\frac{9}{2} + \frac{11}{2}i

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Combine the fractions on the left-hand side.

    The given equation is:

    z+11+i+z1−i=5+5i\frac{z+1}{1+i} + \frac{z}{1-i} = 5+5i

    To combine the fractions, find a common denominator, which is (1+i)(1−i)(1+i)(1-i).

    (1+i)(1−i)=12−i2=1−(−1)=1+1=2(1+i)(1-i) = 1^2 - i^2 = 1 - (-1) = 1+1 = 2

    Now rewrite the left-hand side with the common denominator:

    (z+1)(1−i)(1+i)(1−i)+z(1+i)(1−i)(1+i)=5+5i\frac{(z+1)(1-i)}{(1+i)(1-i)} + \frac{z(1+i)}{(1-i)(1+i)} = 5+5i (z+1)(1−i)+z(1+i)2=5+5i\frac{(z+1)(1-i) + z(1+i)}{2} = 5+5i
  2. Simplify the numerator of the left-hand side.

    Expand the terms in the numerator:

    (z+1)(1−i)=z(1)+z(−i)+1(1)+1(−i)=z−zi+1−i(z+1)(1-i) = z(1) + z(-i) + 1(1) + 1(-i) = z - zi + 1 - i z(1+i)=z+ziz(1+i) = z + zi

    Substitute these back into the numerator:

    (z−zi+1−i)+(z+zi)(z - zi + 1 - i) + (z + zi)

    Combine like terms:

    z−zi+1−i+z+zi=(z+z)+(−zi+zi)+1−iz - zi + 1 - i + z + zi = (z+z) + (-zi+zi) + 1 - i =2z+0+1−i= 2z + 0 + 1 - i =2z+1−i= 2z + 1 - i
  3. Substitute the simplified numerator back into the equation and solve for zz.

    2z+1−i2=5+5i\frac{2z + 1 - i}{2} = 5+5i

    Multiply both sides by 2:

    2z+1−i=2(5+5i)2z + 1 - i = 2(5+5i) 2z+1−i=10+10i2z + 1 - i = 10+10i

    Isolate the term with zz:

    2z=10+10i−(1−i)2z = 10+10i - (1-i) 2z=10+10i−1+i2z = 10+10i - 1 + i

    Combine the real and imaginary parts on the right-hand side:

    2z=(10−1)+(10+1)i2z = (10-1) + (10+1)i 2z=9+11i2z = 9 + 11i

    Divide by 2 to find zz:

    z=9+11i2z = \frac{9+11i}{2} z=92+112iz = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{11}{2}i

    The complex number zz in the form a+bia+bi is 92+112i\boxed{\frac{9}{2} + \frac{11}{2}i}.
