fifth roots
find the fifth roots of 243(cos300+isin300)
mmmmm :D z=243(cos300+isin300) so u have r = 243 and theta =300 remember for complex if z=r (cos theta + i cos theta ) then \(\large z^n=r^n (\cos n \theta + i \cos n \theta )\)
fifth root means n=1/5 :D
wait how did you get that?
:O ok so its not in ur text book mm forget it do u know this one ? z= r (cos theta + i cos theta ) =r e^i theta
my text book mitaswell be in french. i cant understand any of it
\(\large z = 243(\cos (300)+i\sin (300) ) \)
since 2pi is the period of both sin and cos functions : \(\large z = 243(\cos (300 + 2k\pi)+i\sin (300+2k\pi ) ) \)
next use the euler definition : \(\large \cos \theta + i \sin \theta = e^{i\theta }\)
\(\large z = 243e^{i (300 + 2k \pi)} \)
now you're ready to take 5th root both sides
\(\large \left(z\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} = \left(243e^{i (300 + 2k \pi)}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} \)
k = 0,1,2,3,4
why \( 2k\pi \) ?
for infinitly solutions ?
for getting all the 5 roots
\(\large \left(z\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} = \left(243e^{i (300 + 2k \pi)}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} \) \( 0\le k \le 4\)
my computer shut down and while i was gone you guys took my problem and exploded it....
haha got options ?
haha xD
nope its a short essay .-.
and nothing you wrote makes a bit of sense to me .-.
im sorry i gtg now , cant continue to explain :D
i thought so
\(\large z = 243(\cos (300)+i\sin (300) )\) since the period of both sin and cos is 2pi : \(\large z = 243(\cos (300 + 2k\pi)+i\sin (300+2k\pi ) ) \)
fine with this step ?
sure .-.
good next take fifth root both sides
\(\large z^{\frac{1}{5}} = \left( 243(\cos (300 + 2k\pi)+i\sin (300+2k\pi ) )\right)^{\frac{1}{5}}\)
still fine ?
.-. yes
\(\large z^{\frac{1}{5}} = 243^{\frac{1}{5}}\left( \cos (300 + 2k\pi)+i\sin (300+2k\pi ) \right)^{\frac{1}{5}}\)
still wid me ?
sorry my computer keeps blue screening -.- and yes
@ganeshie8
its okay, next we use this formula http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre's_formula
\(\large z^{\frac{1}{5}} = 243^{\frac{1}{5}}\cos (\frac{300 + 2k\pi}{5})+i\sin (\frac{300+2k\pi}{5} ) \)
see if that looks okay..
it looks okay .-. i dont know what you mean
\(\large z^{\frac{1}{5}} = 3 \cos (\frac{300 + 2k\pi}{5})+i\sin (\frac{300+2k\pi}{5} )\)
plugin k = 0, you will get the first 5th root
first fifth root : \(\large z^{\frac{1}{5}} = 3 \left( \cos (\frac{300 + 0 }{5})+i\sin (\frac{300 + 0}{5} )\right) \\ \large = 3\left( \cos (60) + i\sin (60)\right)\)
plugin k = 1,2,3,4 to get the remaining four fifth roots
so the main part that changes is 60.2, 60.4, 60.6, and 60.8?
