Find real part of messy complex fraction?












-3












$begingroup$


I have this messy complex fraction, where the LHS is real. But how can I find the real part of the RHS?



$$
frac{R277-X115+i(R115+X277)}{R+277+i(115+X)}=300,
$$



where $R, Xin mathbb R$.

    Does $R277$ mean the same thing as $277R?$ In any event, can't you multiply numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator?

I believe that R=resistance and X=impedance.



So:



$R277−X115+i(R115+X277) = 300 (R+277+i(115+X))$



begin{cases}
R277−X115 = 300 (R+277) \
R115+X277 = 300 (115+X) \
end{cases}



begin{cases}
R277−X115 = 300R+300*277 \
R115+X277 = 300*115+300X \
end{cases}



begin{cases}
R277-300R-X115 = 300*277 \
R115+X277-300X = 300*115 \
end{cases}



begin{cases}
-23R-115X = 300*277 = 83100 \
115R+577X = 300*115 = 34500 \
end{cases}



begin{cases}
R=-1128613 \
X= 225000 \
end{cases}



But R is negative! Can anybody verify ?

    I'm assuming that you flipped right and left (since the real part of $300$ is clearly $300$). In general, to put a complex fraction in standard $x+yi$ form, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator (as saulspatz said in their comment) In symbols:



    $$ frac{a+bi}{c+di} ~~=~~ frac{a+bi}{c+di} cdot frac{c-di}{c-di} ~~=~~ frac{ac+bd + (bc-ad)i}{c^2+d^2}.$$



    Therefore, the real part of this fraction is



    $$ frac{ac+bd}{c^2+d^2}. $$



    In your case:




    • $a=R277-X115$

    • $b=R115+X277$

    • $c=R+277$

    • $d=X+115$


    Plugging these into the formula above, we get



    $$frac{[R^2277-RX115+R277^2-X(277cdot115)]+[RX115+X^2277+R115^2+X(277cdot115)]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



    Cancelling terms in the numerator gives



    $$=frac{[R^2277+R277^2]+[X^2277+R115^2]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



    This is still a mess, but it doesn't seem like you can do much better except to write out some of the numbers e.g. $115^2=13225$, and so on.




    In the other answer, cgiovanardi assumed that your ultimate goal was to solve this equation, in which case their idea is a lot better. Rather than getting an explicit form for the real and imaginary part of the LHS as a fraction, you can multiply the denominator through to both sides first.

              Therefore, the real part of this fraction is



              $$ frac{ac+bd}{c^2+d^2}. $$



              In your case:




              • $a=R277-X115$

              • $b=R115+X277$

              • $c=R+277$

              • $d=X+115$


              Plugging these into the formula above, we get



              $$frac{[R^2277-RX115+R277^2-X(277cdot115)]+[RX115+X^2277+R115^2+X(277cdot115)]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



              Cancelling terms in the numerator gives



              $$=frac{[R^2277+R277^2]+[X^2277+R115^2]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



              This is still a mess, but it doesn't seem like you can do much better except to write out some of the numbers e.g. $115^2=13225$, and so on.




              In the other answer, cgiovanardi assumed that your ultimate goal was to solve this equation, in which case their idea is a lot better. Rather than getting an explicit form for the real and imaginary part of the LHS as a fraction, you can multiply the denominator through to both sides first.

                  • $c=R+277$

                  • $d=X+115$


                  Plugging these into the formula above, we get



                  $$frac{[R^2277-RX115+R277^2-X(277cdot115)]+[RX115+X^2277+R115^2+X(277cdot115)]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



                  Cancelling terms in the numerator gives



                  $$=frac{[R^2277+R277^2]+[X^2277+R115^2]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



                  This is still a mess, but it doesn't seem like you can do much better except to write out some of the numbers e.g. $115^2=13225$, and so on.




                  In the other answer, cgiovanardi assumed that your ultimate goal was to solve this equation, in which case their idea is a lot better. Rather than getting an explicit form for the real and imaginary part of the LHS as a fraction, you can multiply the denominator through to both sides first.



                  The resulting system is best solved by machine: here's the computation in WolframAlpha.

                  I'm assuming that you flipped right and left (since the real part of $300$ is clearly $300$). In general, to put a complex fraction in standard $x+yi$ form, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator (as saulspatz said in their comment) In symbols:



                  $$ frac{a+bi}{c+di} ~~=~~ frac{a+bi}{c+di} cdot frac{c-di}{c-di} ~~=~~ frac{ac+bd + (bc-ad)i}{c^2+d^2}.$$



                  Therefore, the real part of this fraction is



                  $$ frac{ac+bd}{c^2+d^2}. $$



                  In your case:




                  • $a=R277-X115$

                  • $b=R115+X277$

                  • $c=R+277$

                  • $d=X+115$


                  Plugging these into the formula above, we get



                  $$frac{[R^2277-RX115+R277^2-X(277cdot115)]+[RX115+X^2277+R115^2+X(277cdot115)]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



                  Cancelling terms in the numerator gives



                  $$=frac{[R^2277+R277^2]+[X^2277+R115^2]}{R^2+2R277+277^2+X^2+2X115+115^2}$$



                  This is still a mess, but it doesn't seem like you can do much better except to write out some of the numbers e.g. $115^2=13225$, and so on.
