Complex Numbers. Please help.

\[\rm Prove~that~: \tan\large ({ilog \large \frac{\large a-ib }{\large a+ib}})=\large\frac{2ab}{a^2-b^2}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, what have you tried? I would start by using tan ix = i tanh x and then use the definition of tanh x have you tried this approach?

rvc (rvc):

nope i did not start with that i assumed re^ix=a+ib re^{-ix}=a-ib

hartnn (hartnn):

wonderful start! using that substitution, what will be tan x ?

hartnn (hartnn):

the left hand side is getting simplified nicely, \(\tan (i \log e^{(2ix)}) \) got upto this point?

rvc (rvc):

\[\tan(ilog(e^{-2ix}))-->\tan(i(-2ix))-->\tan(2x)\]

rvc (rvc):

\[\tan(2x)=\frac{2tanx}{1-tanx}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

yep, to get tan 2x, we will need tan x from the substitution, re^(ix) = a+ib

rvc (rvc):

tan^2x

hartnn (hartnn):

go on, i think you'll solve it all by yourself!

hartnn (hartnn):

you just need to get tan x = b/a

rvc (rvc):

i can get that because i have a+ib

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember that \(e^{ix} = cosx +i sin x \)

rvc (rvc):

got it :)

hartnn (hartnn):

re^(ix) = a+ib = r (cos x + i sin x) remember the conversion from cartesian to polar? r = \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\) \(x = \arctan(b/a)\)

rvc (rvc):

thanks @hartnn
