Full solution

Q. z=1+ix1ix z^{\prime}=\frac{1+i x}{1-i x}
  1. Rationalize Denominator: To solve for zz', we need to rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is (1+ix)(1+ix).
  2. Multiplication of Conjugates: So we multiply (1+ix)(1+ix) by (1+ix)(1+ix) for the numerator and (1ix)(1-ix) by (1+ix)(1+ix) for the denominator.
  3. Numerator Calculation: The numerator becomes (1+ix)(1+ix)=1+2ixx2(1+ix)(1+ix) = 1 + 2ix - x^2.
  4. Denominator Calculation: The denominator becomes (1ix)(1+ix)=1x2(1-ix)(1+ix) = 1 - x^2.
  5. Simplify Numerator and Denominator: Now we simplify the numerator and denominator. The numerator is 1+2ixx21 + 2ix - x^2 and the denominator is 1x21 - x^2.
  6. Final Expression: We can now write zz' as 1+2ixx21x2\frac{1 + 2ix - x^2}{1 - x^2}.
  7. Correct Denominator Calculation: But wait, there's a mistake in the calculation of the denominator. It should be (1ix)(1+ix)=1i2x2(1-i x)(1+i x) = 1 - i^2 x^2, and since i2=1i^2 = -1, the denominator is actually 1+x21 + x^2.
