What is the complex number z=i/(1-i)+i/(1+i)?

To determine the complex number, we'll have to determine
the result of the sum of 2 quotients.


To calculate the sum
of 2 quotients that do not have a common denominator we'll have to calculate the
LCD(least common denominator) of the 2 ratios.


We notice
that LCD = (1+i)(1-i)


We notice also that the product
(1+i)(1-i) is like:


(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 -
b^2


We'll write instead of product the difference of
squares, where a = 1 and b = i.


LCD =
(1+i)(1-i)


LCD = 1^2 -
i^2


We'll write instead of i^2 =
-1


LCD = 1 - (-1)


LCD =
2


Now, we'll multiply the first ratio by (1+i) and the
second ratio by (1-i):


z = i(1+i)/2 + i(1-i)/
2


We'll remove the brackets:


z
= (i + i^2 + i - i^2)/2


We'll eliminate like
terms:


z = 2i/2


We'll
simplify:


z = 
i


The result is a complex
number, whose real part is 0 and imaginary part is
1.


The algebraic form of the complex number
z is z = i.


The polar form of the complex number
is:


z = |z|(cos a + i*sin
a)


We'll calculate the modulus and the argument of
z.


|z| = sqrt(Re(z)^2 +
Im(z)^2)


|z| = sqrt(0^2 +
1^2)


|z| =
1


tan a =
y/x


tan a = 1/0 =
+infinite


a =
pi/2


The polar form of the
complex number is:


z =
(cos pi/2 + i*sin pi/2)
