Solve the equation 2iz/(1 - i) + 2i = 2z(1 - i) - 3 + i

We'll note z = a + b*i and we'll substitute z into the
given equation.


2i*(a + b*i)/(1-i) + 2i = 2(a + b*i)(1-i) -
3 + i


We'll multiply the terms 2i,  2(a + b*i)(1-i),  - 3
and i by (1-i):


2i*(a + b*i) + 2i*(1-i) = 2(a + b*i)(1-i)^2
- 3(1-i) + i*(1-i)


We'll remove the
brackets:


2ai - 2b + 2i + 2 = -4ai + 4b - 3 + 3i + i +
1


We'll move all the terms in a and b to the left side and
all the terms without a and b, to the right side:


2ai - 2b
+ 4ai - 4b = -2i - 2 - 3 + 3i + i + 1


We'll combine the
real parts and the imaginary parts:


-6b + 6ai = -4 +
2i


Because the expressions from both sides are equivalent,
the real parts and the imaginary parts have to be
equal.


-6b =
-4


b =
2/3


6a =
2


a =
1/3


z = 1/3 +
2i/3

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
