(1+i)^-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just need the answer what you are getting

OpenStudy (kainui):

\[\Large \frac{1}{(1+i)^3}*\frac{(1-i)^3}{(1-i)^3}=\frac{1-3i-3+i}{2^3}\] \[\Large \frac{-2-2i}{2^3}=- \frac{1+i}{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i think if i rationalise my fraction i will get it

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Yup.

OpenStudy (kainui):

An alternate way is to normalize (1+i) which should be pretty straightforward to see that this is a 45 degree angle, so \[\Large (1+i)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}e^{i \pi/4}\] Then you can more easily plug this in as well.

cool!
