Complex numbers!
took me forever and I still have no clue.
or should i just guess
lol
\[\Large \left(-1+i \sqrt3\right)^{1/3}\]Factoring out a 2 from each term,\[\Large 2^{1/3}\left(-\frac{1}{2}+i\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)^{1/3}\]These values come frommmmm an angle of 2pi/3 or 120 degrees,\[\Large 2^{1/3}\left(\cos120+i \sin120\right)^{1/3}\]Using Euler's Formula we can write it like this,\[\Large 2^{1/3}\left(e^{120i}\right)^{1/3} \qquad=\qquad 2^{1/3}e^{40i}\] Going back to the form we had before,\[\Large 2^{1/3}e^{40i}=2^{1/3}\left(\cos40^o+i \sin40^o\right)\] Hmm I wouldn't really know how to explain this to you :( I don't know much about complex numbers. There's probably a much easier way than the approach I took.
Did you take your Trig Exam today? :)
it was horrible omg
i had to take both a midterm and final
oh boy :(
at the same time
i answered almost everything except for vectors
oh good :O
not really :/
i tried filling up everything and not leaving unanswered stuff
OH btw is the answer D x3
D? Yah that's what I came up with D:
But I dunno if I can explain it in a clear way. There is some formula Louv.... something? That allows you to do these a bit easier... I forget what it's called...
Oh oh `DeMoivre's Theorem`, does that sound familiar?
yeah
idk that theorem
i have to use it to change this complex number : (1-isqrt(3))^3 into trig form
omg site crashed again :( I lost of the stuff i was writing... so frustrating... I dunno what's going on lately, this thing is so unstable :C
:o oh no try writing it somewhere else and copy and paste?
ya maybe I'll try that :c
nah its cool i figured it out xD
ok cool c: sorry
