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

Therefore, if z = r e i Q, then r6 e 6iQ = -1 + i sqrt(3).So r6 = 2 and 6Q = 2pi/3 + 2kpi, where k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or k = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. (You can't have k > 11 because then the angle would be more than 2pi.)So r = 21/6 = 2^1/6 (the 6th root of 2) and Q = (2pi/3 + 2k

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 =

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).
 

What are the six distinct sixth roots of -1 + i root 3?

The six distinct sixth roots of -1 + i root 3 are 1, -1, i root 3, -i root 3, 1/2 + i root 3/2, and 1/2 - i root 3/2.

How can I find the sixth roots of a complex number?

To find the sixth roots of a complex number, you can use the polar form of the number and apply the sixth root formula, which is z^(1/6) = r^(1/6)(cos((θ + 2kπ)/6) + i sin((θ + 2kπ)/6)), where z is the complex number, r is the modulus, and θ is the argument.

What is the polar form of -1 + i root 3?

The polar form of -1 + i root 3 is 2(cos(2π/3) + i sin(2π/3)).

How do I check if my answer for the sixth roots of -1 + i root 3 is correct?

You can check your answer by substituting each of the sixth roots into the original equation and verifying that they all equal -1 + i root 3. You can also graph the complex numbers on the complex plane and see if they form a regular hexagon with vertices on the unit circle.

Can a complex number have more than six distinct sixth roots?

No, a complex number can only have six distinct sixth roots. This is because a complex number can be represented by a point on the complex plane, and the sixth roots correspond to points equally spaced around the unit circle. Since there are only six points that can fit on the unit circle, there can only be six distinct sixth roots.
