Math Problem Statement

simplify arg(i+e^(2ix))

Solution

To simplify the expression arg(i+e2ix)\arg(i + e^{2ix}), let's break it down step by step.

  1. Start with e2ixe^{2ix}:
    Using Euler's formula, we can rewrite the exponential as a combination of sine and cosine: e2ix=cos(2x)+isin(2x)e^{2ix} = \cos(2x) + i\sin(2x) So, the original expression becomes: i+e2ix=i+cos(2x)+isin(2x)i + e^{2ix} = i + \cos(2x) + i\sin(2x) Rearrange the terms: i+e2ix=(cos(2x))+i(1+sin(2x))i + e^{2ix} = (\cos(2x)) + i(1 + \sin(2x))

  2. Find the argument:
    The argument of a complex number z=a+biz = a + bi is given by arg(z)=tan1(ba)\arg(z) = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{b}{a} \right).

    Here, a=cos(2x)a = \cos(2x) and b=1+sin(2x)b = 1 + \sin(2x).

    Therefore, the argument is: arg(i+e2ix)=tan1(1+sin(2x)cos(2x))\arg(i + e^{2ix}) = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{1 + \sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)} \right)

  3. Simplify the argument:
    We can further simplify the expression inside the arctangent: arg(i+e2ix)=tan1(1+sin(2x)cos(2x))\arg(i + e^{2ix}) = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{1 + \sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)} \right) This is the simplified form of the argument.

Final Answer:

arg(i+e2ix)=tan1(1+sin(2x)cos(2x))\arg(i + e^{2ix}) = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{1 + \sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)} \right)
