Equating real and imaginary parts to solve complex equations
We can solve complex equations involving z and z∗ by using the fact that a complex number z takes the form a+bi. Recall that for complex numbers z1 and z2,
We use this fact to equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides, which creates a solvable a system of two equations in two unknowns from one given equation.
Nice work completing Solving complex equations, here's a quick recap of what we covered:
