complex numbers - Verifying that $sqrt{(R+jomega L)(jomega C)}=0.5frac{R}{sqrt{L/C}}+jomegasqrt{LC}$ for $Rlll omega L$


So I have the following square root of this two complex numbers and my book provides this:


$$\sqrt{(R+j\omega L)(j\omega C)}=0.5\frac{R}{\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}}+j\omega\sqrt{LC}$$


if $$R\lll\omega L$$


I have no freaking idea how they do this mathematically. I tried to apply distributive property, which leads to


$$\sqrt{jR\omega C-\omega^2LC}$$


And the second term of my expansion kind of looks like the second term of the expression $$\sqrt{-\omega^2LC}=j\omega\sqrt{LC}$$



But I don't if (a) this is correct and (b) how do I get the first term.


Thanks in advance.


Answer



The basic idea is that $\sqrt{1+x} \approx 1+\frac x2$ when $x \ll 1$. The right side is the first two terms of the Taylor series. If you expand the left you have $$\sqrt{(R+j\omega L)(j\omega C)}=\sqrt{Rj\omega C-\omega^2LC}\\ =j\omega\sqrt{LC}\sqrt {R\frac 1{j\omega L}+1}\\ \approx j\omega \sqrt{LC}\left(1+\frac {R}{2j\omega L}\right)\\ =j\omega \sqrt{LC}+\frac R2\sqrt{\frac {C}{L}}$$ They owe you an approximation sign when they do the Taylor series step.
