Follow steps (a), (b), (c) above to find all the values of the indicate droots -15

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of -15is-1,0.809±0.588i,-0.309±0.951i.

The graph used in this question to find the answer is shown below.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The given expression is -15.

02

 Step 2: Definition of Complex Number

Complex numbers have both real numbers and imaginary numbers in them; a complex can be written in the form of:

z=a+ib

Here a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary number which is known as iota, whose value is -1.

03

Find the value of r and θ

The Complex number is in the form -1+0i.

x=-1,y=0

The polar coordinates of the point are in the form ofz=reiθ

r=1

θ=π,or3π,5π,7π,9π,11π,....

The equation z=reiθcan also be written in another form.

z1n=reiθ1n=re1neiθnz1n=rncosθn+isinθn

When n=5 , the equation becomes the 5th root of the complex number:

z15=r15eiθ5r=1θ=π5,3π5,5π5,7π5,9π5,11π5,.....=π5,3π5,π,7π5,9π5,11π5,.....

04

 Step 4: Plotting the polar coordinate points on the graph

It is clear from the above graph that the points 1,Ï€5and the point 1,11Ï€5are the same.

The radius of the circle 1 is and equally spaced2Ï€5 apart.

r=1θ=π5,3π5,π,7π5,9π5

Hence, the value of -15=-1,0.809±0.588i,-0.309±0.951i

Express the following complex numbers in the x+iyform. Try to visualize each complex number, using sketches as in the examples if necessary. The first twelve problems you should be able to do in your head (and maybe some of the others—try it!) Doing a problem quickly in your head saves time over using a computer. Remember that the point in doing problems like this is to gain skill in manipulating complex expressions, so a good study method is to do the problems by hand and use a computer to check your answers.
