i am not getting this problem. is it
\[z=a+i, \overline z = a-i, |i^{\overline z}|=2\sqrt{2}\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry third
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i wrote the whole problem. is that the whole thing?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is, you are sure that
\[z=a+i\] and so
\[\overline z =a-i\] rigtht

yes its the whole thing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then i am confused. you have
\[i=e^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\]
\[i^{a-i}=e^{\frac{\pi}{2}i(a-i)}\]
\[=e^{\frac{\pi}{2}}e^{\frac{a\pi}{2}i}\] and it looks to me like the absolute value of this thing is
\[e^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\]so maybe i am missing something
OpenStudy (anonymous):
typo on first line should read
\[i=e^{\frac{\pi}{2}i}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on, is this
\[i\times \overline z\] or
\[i^{\overline z}\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first one

if it is the first one then no problem. yoju get
\[i(a-i)=1+ai\] so
\[|1+ai|=\sqrt{1^2+a^2}=2\sqrt{2}\] and so
\[1+a^2=8\] making
\[a^2=7\] and thus
\[a=\pm\sqrt{7}\]
