I tried the following code which attend to extract the real and the imaginary part of q4. z, s, f, s2 are all real numbers. Why I get imaginary part in the first answer and zero in the 2nd answer? q1 = Iz; q2 = q1 + s; q3 = (q2 f)/(f - q2); q4 = q3 + s2; ComplexExpand[Re[q4]] ComplexExpand[Im[q4]] Out = s2 + (f s)/(f - s - Iz) + (f Iz)/(f - s - Iz) Out = 0
