x^2+2ix-2=0

x^{2} + 2 i x - 2 = 0

x = 1 - i, x = - 1 - i

Solution steps

x^{2} + 2 i x - 2 = 0

Substitute

x = a + bi

(a + bi)^{2} + 2 i (a + bi) - 2 = 0

Expand

(a + bi)^{2} + 2 i (a + bi) - 2 : (a^{2} - b^{2} - 2 b - 2) + i (2 a + 2 ab)

(a^{2} - b^{2} - 2 b - 2) + i (2 a + 2 ab) = 0

Rewrite

0

in standard complex form:

0 + 0 i

(a^{2} - b^{2} - 2 b - 2) + i (2 a + 2 ab) = 0 + 0 i

Complex numbers can be equal only if their real and imaginary parts are equalRewrite as system of equations:

[a^{2} - b^{2} - 2 b - 2 = 0 2 a + 2 ab = 0]

[a^{2} - b^{2} - 2 b - 2 = 0 2 a + 2 ab = 0] : (a = 1, a = - 1, b = - 1 b = - 1)

Substitute back

x = a + bi

x = 1 - i, x = - 1 - i

z, z^{2} - (1 - 4 i) z - 4 i = 0

x^{2} + 2 i x - 1 = 0

z - \frac{1}{z} = 5 + 5 i

\frac{x + i y}{1 + x + i y} = 3 + 4 i

4 (3 i + 2) - 2 i = (2 x) i + y
