Hey there! Need help figuring this out:
Find the real and imaginary parts of [tex]\frac{1-z}{i+z}[/tex]

What I've tried was to notice that [tex]z\bar{z}=|z|^2[/tex], thence [tex]\frac{1-z}{i+z}=\frac{(1-z)}{(i+z)}\frac{(\overline{i+z})}{(\overline{i+z})}=\frac{(1-z)(i+\overline{z})}{|i+z|^2}=\frac{\overline{z}+i(z-1)-|z|^2}{|i+z|^2}[/tex]

But now I'm stuck. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What sort of answer are you looking for? Usually you would have ##z = x + iy## and would express the real and imaginary parts of the expression in terms of ##x## and ##y##.

Let z = x + iy, and write the above as ##\frac{1 - x - iy}{i + x + iy} = \frac{1 - x - iy}{x + i(y + 1)}##, and then multiply by 1 in the form of the conjugate over itself.

Also, in future posts, please don't delete the homework template - it's not optional.
