Electrical Engineering/impedance

Question
I am having trouble understanding how to find the impedance of the  tank part of a  circuit with just LC in the tank and no resistance, is there any help or tips that you can give me?

Answer
At the resonant frequency, the magnitude of the inductive reactance is equal to the capacitive reactance. At any frequency, the inductive or capacitive reactance can each be calculated by using the standard formulae. (like j omega L)

Hope this helps!
