show that the roots of \(\huge (x-1)^5=32(x+1)^5 are~given~by~\\\huge x=\huge \frac{-3+4isin \huge\frac{2n\pi }{5}}{5-4cos\huge \frac{2n\pi}{5}}\)

@Owlcoffee

OpenStudy (owlcoffee):

Okay, I think that we should first calculate the roots for the function, they will for sure be complex.

rvc (rvc):

yep

OpenStudy (owlcoffee):

Then, you should be able to express those roots in their polar form.

rvc (rvc):

hmm.. idk

OpenStudy (lochana):

can you provide where you got this problem from?

rvc (rvc):

from my book

OpenStudy (fouzberzerk):

Hey Admir, I could still use a little help on a subject.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we can rewrite your equation as follows: \[\huge {\left( {\frac{{z - 1}}{{z + 1}} \cdot \frac{1}{2}} \right)^5} = 1\] so we get: \[\Large \begin{gathered} \frac{{z - 1}}{{z + 1}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \sqrt[5]{1} = \cos \left( {\frac{{2\pi n}}{5}} \right) + i\sin \left( {\frac{{2\pi n}}{5}} \right),\quad \hfill \\ \hfill \\ n = 0,1,2,3,4 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please solve for \(\Large z\)

rvc (rvc):

i have done till z after that im not getting

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait, I'm computing...

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I got this: \[\huge z = \frac{{1 + 2{e^{\frac{{2\pi ni}}{5}}}}}{{1 - 2{e^{\frac{{2\pi ni}}{5}}}}}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that we are in the right way, since I got your result

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here are the next steps: \[\Large \begin{gathered} z = \frac{{1 + 2\cos \theta + 2i\sin \theta }}{{1 - 2\cos \theta - 2i\sin \theta }} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{\left( {1 + 2\cos \theta } \right) + 2i\sin \theta }}{{\left( {1 - 2\cos \theta } \right) - 2i\sin \theta }} \cdot \frac{{\left( {1 - 2\cos \theta } \right) + 2i\sin \theta }}{{\left( {1 - 2\cos \theta } \right) + 2i\sin \theta }} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] where: \[\Large \theta = \frac{{2\pi n}}{5}\]

rvc (rvc):

hmmmmmmmm

@rvc

rvc (rvc):

thanks @Michele_Laino :)
