Answer
The real part is \(\frac{-\sqrt{11} + \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}}{10}\) and the imaginary part is \(\frac{\sqrt{22}}{20}\).
Solution
To find the real part and the imaginary part of the complex number
\[
\frac{-\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{11 i}}{10},
\]
we first need to simplify the term \(\sqrt{11 i}\).
Recall that \(i = e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}}\). Therefore, we can express \(11 i\) as:
\[
11 i = 11 e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}}.
\]
Taking the square root, we have:
\[
\sqrt{11 i} = \sqrt{11} \sqrt{e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}}} = \sqrt{11} e^{i\frac{\pi}{4}}.
\]
Using Euler's formula, we can express \(e^{i\frac{\pi}{4}}\) as:
\[
e^{i\frac{\pi}{4}} = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + i \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.
\]
Thus, we have:
\[
\sqrt{11 i} = \sqrt{11} \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}.
\]
Now substituting \(\sqrt{11 i}\) back into the original expression, we get:
\[
-\sqrt{11} + \sqrt{11 i} = -\sqrt{11} + \left(\frac{\sqrt{22}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}\right).
\]
Combining the real parts, we have:
\[
-\sqrt{11} + \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}.
\]
Thus, the expression becomes:
\[
\frac{-\sqrt{11} + \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}}{10}.
\]
Now we can separate the real and imaginary parts:
1. The real part is:
\[
\frac{-\sqrt{11} + \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}}{10}.
\]
2. The imaginary part is:
\[
\frac{\frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{22}}{20}.
\]
Therefore, the real part and the imaginary part of the complex number are:
\[
\text{Real part: } \frac{-\sqrt{11} + \frac{\sqrt{22}}{2}}{10}, \quad \text{Imaginary part: } \frac{\sqrt{22}}{20}.
