Finding Z in Complex and Polar Form Given Specific Argument Conditions

Given the conditions arg(z_1) frac{pi}{2} and argleft(frac{1}{z_1}right) frac{pi}{4}, we aim to find the complex number z in the form x iy and in polar form. This article provides a detailed analysis to achieve this.

Introduction

The problem involves understanding the argument of complex numbers, their polar forms, and how these can be manipulated and solved within specific constraints. This is a common problem in complex analysis, and addressing it involves a deep understanding of basic principles and techniques in complex number theory.

Background and Definitions

In complex analysis, a complex number z can be represented in two primary forms: rectangular (Cartesian) form and polar form. The rectangular form is represented as z x iy, where x and y are real numbers, and z lies in the complex plane. The polar form is given by z r(cos theta i sin theta), where r is the magnitude (or modulus) and theta is the argument (or angle) of the complex number.

Condition Analysis

Condition 1: arg(z_1) frac{pi}{2}

If arg(z_1) frac{pi}{2}, it means that the complex number z_1 lies on the positive imaginary axis. Therefore, z_1 it for some real number t 0. This representation is crucial for subsequent steps in solving the problem.

Condition 2: argleft(frac{1}{z_1}right) frac{pi}{4}

The second condition involves finding the argument of the reciprocal of z_1. Given z_1 it, we need to consider the reciprocal of z_1. The reciprocal of a complex number z x iy is given by frac{1}{z} frac{x - iy}{x^2 y^2}. Applying this to z_1 it, we get:

[ frac{1}{z_1} frac{1}{it} ]

For frac{1}{z_1} u iv to have an argument of frac{pi}{4}, it must satisfy:

[ frac{1}{it} u iv qv{and} u, v 0 ]

Multiplying both sides by it, we get:

[ 1 uit - v ]

This equation implies that:

[ ui - vi 1 qv{and} frac{u}{i} - v 1 ]

Equating the real and imaginary parts, we obtain:

[ u 0 qv{and} -v 1 Rightarrow v -1 ]

There is no real solution for u 0 and v 0. This means that the reciprocal of z_1 in the form u iv cannot have an argument of frac{pi}{4} under the given conditions.

Alternative Approach

Let's also consider the problem as given, where we have:

[ text{arg} left(frac{1}{z} - 1right) frac{pi}{4} ]

Assuming z x iy, we need to find a z that satisfies the condition. We start by considering the reciprocal of z and then subtract 1:

[ frac{1}{z} frac{1}{x iy} frac{x - iy}{x^2 y^2} qv{and} frac{1}{z} - 1 frac{x - iy}{x^2 y^2} - 1 ]

For this to have an argument of frac{pi}{4}, the real and imaginary parts need to satisfy:

[ text{arg}left(frac{x - iy - (x^2 y^2)}{x^2 y^2}right) frac{pi}{4} ]

Equating the real and imaginary parts, we get:

[ -frac{x y (x^2 y^2)}{x^2 y^2} frac{x - y}{x^2 y^2} ]

Since the denominator is the same, we can equate the numerators:

[ -xy - x^2 - y^2 x - y ]

Simplifying, we obtain:

[ -x^2 - y^2 - xy x - y ]

This equation is quite complex, and solving it for real solutions x, y 0 is challenging. Through algebraic manipulation and checking, we find that there are no valid solutions for both x 0 and y 0.

Conclusion

Given the constraints and analysis, the problem as stated has no solution. This is due to the fact that the conditions imposed on the argument of the reciprocal of z_1 and the subtraction of 1 from the reciprocal of z cannot simultaneously be satisfied for any positive values of t, x, y.
