SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the equation ei∏/3z³ = 1/(1+i) for its three roots. Participants suggest expressing the right side in polar form to facilitate the solution process. The use of Euler's theorem is mentioned as a potential method for rearranging the equation, although initial attempts were unsuccessful. The conversation highlights the importance of transforming complex equations into exponential forms for easier manipulation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex numbers and their polar representation
  • Familiarity with Euler's theorem and its applications

1. ei∏/3z3 = 1/(1+i)


3. Wasn't sure at all how to start...Attempted to rearrange, bringing the exponential to the right and expanding using Euler's theorem, but it didn't work.

I'll be really grateful to anyone generous enough to help :) thanks

I would try to express the right side in polar form first. I.e. as a exponential.
