Chapter C, Problem 1E

Practice Exercises

Complex operations Let z = −2 + 5i and w = 3 – 4i. Compute the following questions.

1. z + 3w

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To compute: The complex quantity z+3w.

Answer to Problem 1E

The value of the complex quantity z+3w is 77i.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The complex values of z=2+5i and w=34i.

Calculation:

Substitute the values of z and w in the complex quantity z+3w and obtain the value as,

z+3w=(2+5i)+3(34i)=2+5i+912i=(2+9)+(5i12i)=7+(512)i

That is, z+3w=77i.

Therefore, the value of the complex quantity z+3w is 77i.

Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb a. The resultant force is (Tip: omit degree notations from your answers; e.g. enter cos(45) instead of cos(45°)) b. It's magnitude is lb. c. It's angle from the positive x-axis is
