How do you represent this equation with de moivre's EXPONENTIAL formula??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u=i \sqrt{z}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So assuming that z is some complex function that we can write in the form: \[\Large\rm z=r(\cos \theta+\mathcal i \sin \theta)\] Err I guess you specifically wrote EXPONENTIAL so we'll write it in exponential form:\[\Large\rm z=r e^{\mathcal i \theta}\] Plugging this in gives us:\[\Large\rm u=\mathcal i \left(r e^{\mathcal i \theta}\right)^{1/2}\]Which simplifies to, \[\Large\rm u=\mathcal i r^{1/2} e^{\mathcal i \theta/2}\]Mmmm I hope I did that right.... Are you told anything specific about z?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But there is something that I don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On my book it says that the angles that i find are four. How do I find them. It says that they are\[\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }<\theta<\frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 }\] and \[\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }+\pi<\theta<\frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 }+\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really don't get it. But the process is correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I'm confused.. these \[\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }<\theta<\frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 }\]and\[\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }+\pi<\theta<\frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 }+\pi\]Are not angles, they're intervals. So I'm not really sure what they're looking for.. hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um the problem says to find the solutions and represent them on the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And these should be the intervals just like you said. I am not english so I might use the wrong terms...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh oh oh, ok let's try this...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Does this make sense?\[\Large\rm \mathcal i=e^{\mathcal i \pi/2}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm u=\color{green}{\mathcal i} \left(r e^{\mathcal i \theta}\right)^{1/2}=\color{green}{e^{\mathcal i \pi/2}} \left(r e^{\mathcal i \theta}\right)^{1/2}\]We should probably write our angle like this:\[\Large\rm u=e^{\mathcal i \pi/2} \left(r e^{\mathcal i( \theta+2k \pi)}\right)^{1/2},\qquad k=0,~1,~2,...\] The idea is, we have some angle, but if we add or subtract 2pi from that angle, we land at the same location, yes? Since we're taking the `2nd root`, There will be only 2 unique roots, and the `first 2 values of k` give them to us.\[\Large\rm u=e^{\mathcal i \pi/2} \sqrt{r} ~e^{\mathcal i( \theta/2+k\pi)},\qquad k=0,~1\]So let's bring in the e^{i pi/2},\[\Large\rm u=\sqrt{r} ~e^{\mathcal i( \theta/2+k\pi+\pi/2)},\qquad k=0,~1\]So the 2 k values are giving us:\[\Large\rm u_0=\sqrt{r} ~e^{\mathcal i( \theta/2+\pi/2)}\]\[\Large\rm u_1=\sqrt{r} ~e^{\mathcal i( \theta/2+3\pi/2)}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

And then ummmm >.< hmm

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Maybe I'm over complicating this... ugh..

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\large u=i (z^{\frac{1}{2}})\) \(\large z=r e^{ i\theta}\) \(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }<\theta<\frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 }\) this is only what ou got ? does it said that z lie on unit circle ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

would u plz type the whole Qn ?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I thought I had something, but it still didn't make sense with the specific intervals your book gives.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not my fault xD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

only if u type the whole Qn , it might make some sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The text says to write the exponential formula for that equation and to represent it on the graph.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Perhaps if we tried using De Moivre's formula we might get somewhere. Let \(z=r(\cos(\theta)+i\sin(\theta))\). Then\[z^{1/2}=r^{1/2}(\cos(\theta/2)+i\sin(\theta/2))\]Multiplying by \(i\), we get\[iz^{1/2}=r^{1/2}(i\cos(\theta/2)-\sin(\theta/2)).\]This doesn't seem to be helping...

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

mmm well assume its on unit circle , then it would be helpfull

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

or |z| <=2 mm anything might work

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

or u^2=-z

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

u=iz=(x+iy) =-y+xi >.>

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I think @zepdrix was on the right track though. In general square roots have two possible answers. One root should have that \(\theta\) falls in the first interval you gave, and the second falls in the other interval.
