Hi, please could you help me solve these two, and find the real and imaginary parts of both. Thanks.

1 / (1+e^(-ix))

and

modulus ( e^z)^2 where z is complex.

Thanks so much.

1/ [1 + e^(-ix)] = 1/[{1+cos(x)} - i*sin(x)]

now continue...

Please share your work with us ...

If you are stuck at the beginning tell us and we'll start with the definitions.

I can get to this point but then don't know how to work out the real and imaginary parts of it. For the first one, I know how to solve it if there are no modulus signs but I'm not sure how it changes WITH the modulus signs there.

Use this fact \(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{z} = \dfrac{{\overline z }}{{{{\left| z \right|}^2}}}\) to write \(\displaystyle Z = \dfrac{1}{{1 + {e^{ - ix}}}} = \dfrac{{1 + {e^{ix}}}}{{\left| {1 + {e^{ - ix}}} \right|^2}}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Re}(Z)=\dfrac{{1 + \cos(x)}}{{{{\left| {1 + {e^{ - ix}}} \right|}^2}}}~\&~\text{Im}(Z)=~?\)


#2
\(\displaystyle {\left( {{e^z}} \right)^2} = {e^{2z}} = {e^{2x}}{e^{i2y}} = {e^{2x}}\cos (2y) + i{e^{2x}}\sin (2y)\)

Really! Why didn't you show that beginning work in your original post?

To continue:

1/ [1 + e^(-ix)] = 1/[{1+cos(x)} - i*sin(x)] = 1/[{1+cos(x)} - i*sin(x)] * [{1+cos(x)} + i*sin(x)] /[{1+cos(x)} + i*sin(x)]

Now continue....

In your solution to #2, you haven't used the modulus signs...aren't they relevant?

OK so for this one, we expand out the brackets top and bottom and I'm left with:

1+cosx+isinx / 2+2cosx. Now?

Look at reply #5.
 
Took out a factor of 2 in the denominator and split it, simplifed.

Got out: 1/2 + i(sinx/(2+2cosx)).

Is this right?
