So...just brutally [estimated mark ~20% where a pass is 70%] failed an electronics term 2 exam on ac circuits because I completely forgot to study solving complex matrices ... i smrt... ikr ![]() Would this method work if I had all of my values in polar form and just carried the angles when solving with cramers rule...ex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO4hpSyxH9g&feature=related 2∡63?X + 5∡-90?Y = 5 6∡-25?X + 5∡45?Y = 18 Or would it work if I had them in rectangular form [2+j5]X + [25-j6]Y = 4 [6- j2]X + [3+ j7]Y = 6 Then convert to polar at the end to divide for the final value....But what would I do with the irrational part? ![]() Any input or an easier way to do this would be awesome lol... probably wont be able to put it to good use till next year though :/ |

I would just tend to row-reduce the matrix, it works the same way with complex matrices as with real matrices, except that the scalars are complex. |
