See picture above. Because the circuit is semi-infinite, total impedance of circuit in the box is the same with total impedance of the whole circuit. So we can draw the circuit like picture below.
To make it easier, we should work with complex number.
Hence, the impedance of resistor, inductor, and capacitor are respectively





So the total impedance of the circuit is

Substitute the impedance of resistor, capacitor, and inductor at the equation above.


Solve the equation for Ztot, and we get


And now we need to change the form, so we assume that


Then give the power of two for each sides of the equation.


And now we can get

and


Solving these equation, and we get




So the total impedance is


Because the real part of impedance cannot be negative, so the total impedance is



So, the magnitude of total impedance is



That's my solution.

The last row is wrong.
It is about 1.550R

I think you should make this clearer:
"Because the real part of impedance cannot be negative"

Soryy can anyone explain me how you used complex numbers in that problem.....In what type of circuit problems can we sue that

Good, I like these intelligent solutions.

can anyone please tell me..how to view the solution

I can't see anything. All of them are picture with "sitmo" text.
