In Problems 53鈥�60, find all the complex roots. Leave your answers in polar form with the argument in degrees.
54. The complex fourth roots of $\sqrt{3} - i$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The complex four roots of $\sqrt{3} - i$ are $\sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 82.5 + i \sin 82.5), \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 172.5 + i \sin 172.5), \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 262.5 + i \sin 262.5), \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 352.5 + i \sin 352.5)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Rewrite z=3-i in the polar form.

The magnitude of $\sqrt{3} - i$ is

$\sqrt{{(\sqrt{3})}^{2} + {(- 1)}^{2}} = \sqrt{3 + 1} = \sqrt{4} = 2$

which gives

$\sqrt{3} - i = 2 (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - i \frac{1}{2}) = 2 (\cos 330 掳 + i \sin 330 掳)$

Step 2. Using De Moivre's Theorem.

We get

${(\sqrt{3} - i)}^{\frac{1}{4}} = {[2 (\cos 330 掳 + i \sin 330 掳)]}^{\frac{1}{4}} z_{k} = {(2)^{\frac{1}{4}} [\cos (\frac{330}{4} + \frac{360 k}{4}) + i \sin (\frac{330}{4} + \frac{360 k}{4})]}; k = 0, 1, 2, 3 = \sqrt[4]{2} [\cos (82.5 + 90 k) + i \sin (82.5 + 90 k)]; k = 0, 1, 2, 3$

Step 3. Substitute k=0,1,2,3 in zk=24[cos(82.5+90k)+isin(82.5+90k)].

We get

$z_{0} = \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 82.5 + i \sin 82.5) z_{1} = \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos (82.5 + 90) + \sin (82.5 + 90)) = \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 172.5 + i \sin 172.5) z_{2} = \sqrt[4]{2} [\cos (82.5 + 180) + i \sin (82.5 + 180)] = \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 262.5 + i \sin 262.5) z_{3} = \sqrt[4]{2} [\cos (82.5 + 270) + i \sin (82.5 + 270)] = \sqrt[4]{2} (\cos 352.5 + i \sin 352.5)$

So we have found the complex fourth roots of $\sqrt{3} - i$ .
