How would I go about solving this problem?
Find the value of c and d that make the equation true.
2ci + 1 = -d + 6 - ci
i = √-1 (imaginary)
Find the value of c and d that make the equation true.
2ci + 1 = -d + 6 - ci
i = √-1 (imaginary)
-
the imaginary numbers (number of "i"s) on both sides of the equation must be equal. That is:
2ci = -ci
2c = -c
3c = 0
c = 0
Plugging in c=0 we get:
1 = -d +6
-5 = -d
d = 5
Therefore c=0, d=5.
2ci = -ci
2c = -c
3c = 0
c = 0
Plugging in c=0 we get:
1 = -d +6
-5 = -d
d = 5
Therefore c=0, d=5.
-
d+3ci=5
It's apparent that c must equal i to get rid of the complex number.
so d+3i^2=5
d-3=5
d=8
It's apparent that c must equal i to get rid of the complex number.
so d+3i^2=5
d-3=5
d=8

Put in the imaginary number and square both side of the equation.
