Simple question about equation:
\[z3=\frac{ -2-2j+j ^{2} }{ 2+2j-j ^{2} }\]
What I must do here?
is j the imaginary number , j^2=-1 ?
yes
go ahead and simplify , replace j^2 with -1
Ok but I have the same difficult with x when I havent j and I HAVE X
Ok I change it
\[z3=\frac{ -2-2x+x ^{2} }{ 2+2x-x ^{2} }\]
with this thing I have problems
z_3 = (-2 -2j + j^2) / ( 2 + 2j -j^2) = ( -2 -2j -1 ) / ( 2 + 2j - (-1) ) = ( -3 -2j) / ( 3 +2j) = -(3 + 2j) / (3 + 2j) = -1
you multiplicate with -1?
with x you can try factoring it
I factored out -1 from (-3 -2j ) (-3 -2j ) = - ( 3 + 2j)
Ok I cant understan how function this factor
The numerator is given as (-2 -2x +x^2) but -1( 2 +2x -x^2) = -2 -2x + x^2 check it for yourself, distribute
a ok I understand and with x?
I dont understand because I cant simplyfi with x
Hi
what do you mean simplify? you can factor out -1 , and then cancel
you mean factor?
it is not necessary to factor the quadratic
\[z3=\frac{ -2-2x+x ^{2} }{ 2+2x-x ^{2} }\]
replace the numerator -2 -2x + x^2 with -( 2 + 2x -x^2)
when I have this I cant simplyfi
I cant understand why I cant simplify +x^2 with x2 and other number
x^2/-x^2
do you agree that -2 -2x + x^2 = - ( 2 + 2x -x^2)
because of order of operations. you cannot divide before adding all the terms in the numerator
ok and wher I can find other exercis of this? what I must search on google beacuse I have difficulty
\[z3=\frac{ -2-2x+x ^{2} }{ 2+2x-x ^{2} } ~~ I ~~ mean ~~ other ~~ exercise~~ like ~~ this\]
can you finish the problem simplifying
