Probability current density

Compute the probability current from your expression for using the result from lecture

where is defined to be the imaginary part of the complex number z.

Hint: The key to this problem is to stay organized and manage your algebra. I suggest keeping things in terms of A, B, and C until the last possible moment when you finally substitute your expressions from subsection 3.2.
