Chapter 9: Q. 57 (page 592)

In Problems 53鈥�60, find all the complex roots. Leave your answers in polar form with the argument in degrees.
57. The complex fourth roots of $- 16 i$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The complex fourth roots of $- 16 i$ are $2 (\cos 67.5 + i \sin 67.5), 2 (\cos 157.5 + i \sin 157.5), 2 (\cos 247.5 + i \sin 247.5), 2 (\cos 337.5 + i \sin 337.5)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Rewrite -16i in the polar form.

The magnitude of $- 16 i$ is

$\sqrt{0^{2} + {(- 16)}^{2}} = \sqrt{256} = 16$

which gives

$- 16 i = 16 (0 - i) = 16 (\cos 270 掳 - i \sin 270 掳)$

Step 2. Using the theorem of complex roots.

We get

$z_{k} = \sqrt[4]{16} [\cos (\frac{270}{4} + \frac{360 k}{4}) + i \sin (\frac{270}{4} + \frac{360 k}{4})]; k = 0, 1, 2, 3 = 2 [\cos (67.5 掳 + 90 掳 k) + i \sin (67.5 掳 + 90 掳 k)]$

Step 3. Substitute k=0,1,2,3 in zk=2[cos(67.5+90k)+isin(67.5+90k)].

We get

$z_{0} = 2 (\cos 37.5 + i \sin 67.5) z_{1} = 2 [\cos (67.5 + 90) + i \sin (67.5 + 90)] = 2 (\cos 157.5 + i \sin 157.5) z_{2} = 2 [\cos (67.5 + 180) + i \sin (67.5 + 180)] = 2 (\cos 247.5 + i \sin 247.5) z_{3} = 2 [\cos (67.5 + 270) + i \sin (67.5 + 270)] = 2 (\cos 337.5 + i \sin 337.5)$

So we have found the complex fourth roots of $- 16 i$ .
