In order to get to the final answer, it is not necessary to use the identity e
jwt = cos(wt)+j*sin(wt). The easiest way to solve this is with a software package such as Matlab (or the free equivalent, GNU Octave). However, if you must do everything by hand, then try something like this:
The first boxed term is:
\[\left(e ^{j0.2} - 0.1\right)\left(e ^{j0.2} - 0.5\right) = e ^{j0.4} - 0.5e ^{j0.2} - 0.1e ^{j0.2} + 0.05 \\ =
e ^{j0.4} - 0.6e ^{j0.2} + 0.05\]
We know (or you can look it up / prove it) that for any complex number x, it is always true that |1/x| = 1/|x|. Then, one way of computing the magnitude of x, |x|, is to remember that x multiplied by its
complex conjugate, x
*, equals |x|
2:
\[xx^*=|x|^2\]
Therefore:
\[| e ^{j0.4} - 0.6e ^{j0.2} + 0.05|=\sqrt{\left( e ^{j0.4} - 0.6e ^{j0.2} + 0.05\right)\left( e ^{-j0.4} - 0.6e ^{-j0.2} + 0.05\right)}\]
By multiplying out the brackets, you can rearrange this into the form:
\[=\sqrt{1.3625 - 1.26\left(\frac{1}{2}(e ^{j0.2} + e ^{-j0.2})\right) + 0.1\left(\frac{1}{2}(e ^{j0.4} + e ^{-j0.4})\right)}\]
Now, if we remember the very well known
formula for cosine, cos(x) = (e
jx + e
-jx)/2, our equation becomes:
\[=\sqrt{1.3625 - 1.26\cos(0.2) + 0.1\cos(0.4)}\]
Using a calculator, we find this equals 0.46875. Therefore, inverting and multiplying by 3 gives 6.4001 (or 6.4, as in your solution).
You can follow a similar series of steps to find out the angle term. However, I would never do this type of calculation by hand, as it seems like a bit of a waste of time to me...
