Math Problem Statement

Calculate the expression: \( \frac{i}{1 - 2i} = \boxed{\text{ケコ}} + \boxed{\text{サシ}} i \).

Solution

The image contains a mathematical equation involving complex numbers. It asks to calculate the value of the following expression:

i12i=ケコ+サシi\frac{i}{1 - 2i} = \boxed{\text{ケコ}} + \boxed{\text{サシ}} i

Let's work through this expression step by step.

Step 1: Multiply by the complex conjugate

To simplify i12i\frac{i}{1 - 2i}, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator, which is 1+2i1 + 2i.

i12i×1+2i1+2i=i(1+2i)(12i)(1+2i)\frac{i}{1 - 2i} \times \frac{1 + 2i}{1 + 2i} = \frac{i(1 + 2i)}{(1 - 2i)(1 + 2i)}

Step 2: Simplify the denominator

The denominator becomes a difference of squares:

(12i)(1+2i)=12(2i)2=1(4)=1+4=5(1 - 2i)(1 + 2i) = 1^2 - (2i)^2 = 1 - (-4) = 1 + 4 = 5

So the denominator is 5.

Step 3: Expand the numerator

Now, expand the numerator:

i(1+2i)=i1+i2i=i2i(1 + 2i) = i \cdot 1 + i \cdot 2i = i - 2

Thus, the numerator is i2i - 2.

Step 4: Final expression

Now, the expression becomes:

i25=25+i5\frac{i - 2}{5} = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{i}{5}

Step 5: Compare with the original form

The expression can be written as:

25+15i\frac{-2}{5} + \frac{1}{5}i

So, comparing this with the form ケコ+サシi\boxed{\text{ケコ}} + \boxed{\text{サシ}} i:

  • ケコ=25\boxed{\text{ケコ}} = -\frac{2}{5}
  • サシ=15\boxed{\text{サシ}} = \frac{1}{5}

Thus, the values of the boxes are 25-\frac{2}{5} for "ケコ" and 15\frac{1}{5} for "サシ".
