+93 w and z are 2 different complex numbers.
|wz|=40
|w+z|=13
w = 3+4i
find z
+93 ........ I mean what I said 4i
4i is a complex number....
if you you do not know what that is then you may as well not bother attempting this problem as you need an understanding of magnitude and complex numbers to solve it.
+118673 Hi doorknob,
Tomsun was trying to help you, he/she obviously did not know what complex numbers are.
That would be true of most people here.
Please do not be rude to people who take an interest in your questions.
You could have just said something like,
"Hi Tomsun,
4i is a complex number, you will probably learn about those in the future."
That would have sounded much nicer.
+2863 I haven't taken Alg 2 yet, but I can attempt it.
Imaginary number is \(\sqrt{-1}\)
So
\(w=3+\sqrt{-4}\)
Plugging in \(|w+z|=13\)
We have
\(3+\sqrt{-4}+z=13\)
\(\sqrt{-4}+z=10\)
We have
\(z=10-\sqrt{-4}\)
\(z=10-4i\)
Does this even work??
