hi i need help with this, thank you!
w + 1/w
= cosθ + i sinθ + 1/(cosθ + i sinθ)
= cosθ + i sinθ + (cosθ - i sinθ)/[(cosθ - i sinθ)(cosθ + i sinθ)]
(Rationalising the denominator)
= cosθ + i sinθ + (cosθ - i sinθ)/(cos²θ - i² sin²θ)
(Recall that (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²)
= cosθ + i sinθ + (cosθ - i sinθ)/(cos²θ + sin²θ)
(Since i² = -1)
= cosθ + i sinθ + (cosθ - i sinθ)/1
(Since cos²θ + sin²θ = 1)
= cosθ + i sinθ + cosθ - i sinθ
= 2 cosθ
There is no imaginary component, so the number is real.
