trig... same stuff I have been doing... can some one check my work? I dont know where I went wrong....
where is the question?
you want 4 roots so first realize sin and cos have period 2pi \[z=81(\cos(\frac{4\pi}{3}+2 npi)+i \sin(\frac{4\pi}{3}+2 n \pi))\] now you want the 4th root of this so you will do the whole n=0,1,2,3 thing where \[z^\frac{1}{4}=81^\frac{1}{4}(\cos(\frac{1}{4}[\frac{4\pi}{3}+2n \pi])+i \sin[ \frac{1}{4}[\frac{4\pi}{3}+2n \pi]))\]
let me look at your work
so n=0 we have \[3(\cos(\frac{\pi}{3})+i \sin(\frac{\pi}{3}))\] you did good there for n=1 we have \[3(\cos(\frac{5\pi}{6})+i \sin(\frac{5\pi}{6}))\] that one also looks good now for n=2 we have that looks good I think your n=3 is off just a hair
you change 3 to 2?
also \[3(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}i)=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{3}{2}i\] is this what you have for n=3?
you did really good I just think you got tired of all that writing :p
ok let me see if it works..
nope something is wrong.. because the software keeps marking it wrong
everything on your paper is good up until that last line you have
like you corrected just the last line right?
oh wait i think i put it in wrong.
i wasnt putting in the answer in the right order! silly silly mistakes
