Questionif the taylor expansion of the function: f(z)=1z2+2z+5f(z)=\frac{1}{z^{2}+2 z+5} is written around z0=1+iz_{0}=1+i, what's the radius of convergence?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The function f(z)=1z2+2z+5 f(z) = \frac{1}{z^2 + 2z + 5} is a rational function.
2. The radius of convergence for a Taylor series expansion is determined by the distance from the center of expansion to the nearest singularity.
3. Singularities of a function occur where the denominator is zero.

STEP 2

1. Identify the singularities of the function.
2. Calculate the distance from the center of expansion z0=1+i z_0 = 1 + i to the nearest singularity.
3. Determine the radius of convergence based on this distance.

STEP 3

Identify the singularities of f(z)=1z2+2z+5 f(z) = \frac{1}{z^2 + 2z + 5} .
To find the singularities, solve the equation:
z2+2z+5=0 z^2 + 2z + 5 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, and we can use the quadratic formula:
z=b±b24ac2a z = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
where a=1 a = 1 , b=2 b = 2 , and c=5 c = 5 .

STEP 4

Calculate the discriminant b24ac b^2 - 4ac :
b24ac=22415=420=16 b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 5 = 4 - 20 = -16
Since the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex.

STEP 5

Calculate the roots using the quadratic formula:
z=2±162 z = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-16}}{2} z=2±4i2 z = \frac{-2 \pm 4i}{2} z=1±2i z = -1 \pm 2i
The singularities are at z=1+2i z = -1 + 2i and z=12i z = -1 - 2i .

STEP 6

Calculate the distance from the center of expansion z0=1+i z_0 = 1 + i to each singularity.
For z=1+2i z = -1 + 2i :
Distance=(1+i)(1+2i)=2i=22+(1)2=4+1=5 \text{Distance} = |(1 + i) - (-1 + 2i)| = |2 - i| = \sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 1} = \sqrt{5}
For z=12i z = -1 - 2i :
Distance=(1+i)(12i)=2+3i=22+32=4+9=13 \text{Distance} = |(1 + i) - (-1 - 2i)| = |2 + 3i| = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13}

STEP 7

The radius of convergence is the distance to the nearest singularity. Therefore, the radius of convergence is:
5 \boxed{\sqrt{5}}
The radius of convergence is 5 \boxed{\sqrt{5}} .
