<s>[INST] How to break $\frac{1}{z^2}$ into real and imaginary parts? $$ \frac{1}{(x+iy)^2}=\frac{1}{x^2+i2xy-y^2}=\frac{x^2}{(x^2+y^2)}-\frac{2ixy}{(x^2+y^2)}-\frac{y^2}{(x^2+y^2)}$$
So I thought I could just say:
$$ Re(\frac{1}{z^2})=\frac{x^2}{(x^2+y^2)}-\frac{y^2}{(x^2+y^2)}$$
and
$$ Im(\frac{1}{z^2})=-\frac{2ixy}{(x^2+y^2)}$$
But I know that is wrong because it looks nothing like the graph of the real part of 1/z^2 on wolfram alpha found here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2F(x%2Bi*y)%5E2
Then I thought I could must multiply $1/z^2$ by $z/z$ to get $\frac{x}{z^3}$ and $\frac{iy}{z^3}$ however graphing these again shows that they are not the real and complex parts of $\frac{1}{z^2}$.
 [/INST] Your first proposition should be corrected by noting that when you multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of $x^2+2ixy-y^2$, the denominator becomes $(x+iy)^2(x-iy)^2=(x^2+y^2)^2$ and not $x^2+y^2$. Moreover, there's no $i$ in the imaginary part.
