Math Problem Statement

\imaginaryI23+\imaginaryI23\imaginaryI2\sqrt3+\imaginaryI2\sqrt3

Solution

The expression you've given is:

\imaginaryI23+\imaginaryI23\imaginaryI2\sqrt{3} + \imaginaryI2\sqrt{3}

Since both terms involve \imaginaryI\imaginaryI, which is the imaginary unit ( \imaginaryI=1\imaginaryI = \sqrt{-1} ), you can factor out the common terms:

\imaginaryI(23+23)\imaginaryI ( 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{3} )

Now, simplify the terms inside the parentheses:

23+23=432\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3}

So, the expression becomes:

\imaginaryI43\imaginaryI 4\sqrt{3}

Thus, the result is:

4\imaginaryI34\imaginaryI\sqrt{3}

This is a purely imaginary number with magnitude 434\sqrt{3} and no real part.

Would you like more details on imaginary numbers or further questions related to this? Here are a few suggestions:

  1. How do you add or subtract complex numbers in general?
  2. What does it mean geometrically to multiply by the imaginary unit \imaginaryI\imaginaryI?
  3. How do you convert a complex number into polar form?
  4. What is the conjugate of a complex number, and why is it useful?
  5. Can you explain the real and imaginary parts of complex numbers?

Tip: When simplifying expressions involving \imaginaryI\imaginaryI, remember to treat it like a variable, but keep in mind that \imaginaryI2=1\imaginaryI^2 = -1.
