SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the six distinct sixth roots of the complex number -1 + i√3. The polar form of the number is expressed as 2{cos(2π/3) + i sin(2π/3)}, which simplifies to 2e^(2πi/3). The sixth roots are calculated using the formula 2^(1/6)e^(2πi/18), leading to six distinct values derived from the principal root and the periodic nature of complex exponentials.

Find six distanct sixth roots of -1 + i root 3
I want check my answer



==== >



x = -1 y = root 3



r = 2

tan Q = 2pi/3



-1 + i roo3 = 2 { cos ( 2 pi / 3 ) + i sin 2 pi / 3 )





= 2 e ^2 pi i / 3 }



now six root



-1 + i roo3 = 2^1/6 e ( 2 pi/3 / 6 ) i









now six root

-1 + i root 3 =

tan Q = 2pi/3
Q is 2pi/3, but tan Q is -sqrt(3)/1

You should learn to check your own answers. If you have a complex number z that is one of the 6th roots of -1 + i sqrt(3), then it must be that z6 = -1 + i sqrt(3).
