Answer

To verify the given values of xx and yy, we will simplify both sides of the equation and then equate the real and imaginary parts.

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

The given equation is:

2+j1−j=j(x+jy)\frac{2+j}{1-j} = j(x+jy)

The proposed solution is x=32x=\frac{3}{2} and y=−12y=-\frac{1}{2}.

  1. Simplify the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation.

    To simplify the fraction, multiply 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}

    Multiply the numerators:

    (2+j)(1+j)=2(1)+2(j)+j(1)+j(j)(2+j)(1+j) = 2(1) + 2(j) + j(1) + j(j) =2+2j+j+j2= 2 + 2j + j + j^2

    Since j2=−1j^2 = -1:

    =2+3j−1=1+3j= 2 + 3j - 1 = 1 + 3j

    Multiply the denominators:

    (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+j32\frac{1+3j}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + j\frac{3}{2}
  2. Simplify the right-hand side (RHS) of the equation.

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

    Since j2=−1j^2 = -1:

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

    12+j32=−y+jx\frac{1}{2} + j\frac{3}{2} = -y + jx

    For two complex numbers to be equal, their real parts must be equal, and their imaginary parts must be equal.
    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 x=32x = \frac{3}{2}
  4. Compare the calculated values with the proposed values.

    The calculated values are x=32x=\frac{3}{2} and y=−12y=-\frac{1}{2}. These match the proposed values.

    ✅ Correct. The values x=32x=\frac{3}{2} and y=−12y=-\frac{1}{2} are correct because when substituted into the equation, they satisfy the equality of the complex numbers.
